OBJECTIVE To describe patterns of bottle-feeding across the first year postpartum and explore whether bottle-feeding trajectories are differentially associated with infant weight gain. METHOD Data came from 1291 mothers who participated in the Infant Feeding Practices Study 2. Mothers completed a prenatal questionnaire and monthly surveys of infant feeding and growth between birth and 12 mont...

The impression of food can be affected by “rendition”—i.e., the surrounding environment such as the appearance of the food and the dish—not just by its taste. We focused on the sound and vibration of liquid being poured from a Japanese Sake bottle as a haptic rendition of liquid. Sake bottles are known for their unique “glug” sound and vibration which we believe affects the subjective impressio...

This text studies glass bottle intelligent inspector based machine vision instead of manual inspection. The system structure is illustrated in detail in this paper. The text presents the method based on watershed transform methods to segment the possible defective regions and extract features of bottle wall by rules. Then wavelet transform are used to exact features of bottle finish from images...

until now, there have been various studies concerning bottle-fed and breast-fed children. prevalence of allergic manifestations like eczema and asthma among bottle-fed children is much higher than healthy controls. in this study, we found that respiratory infection for breast-fed children was 3.1%, whereas in bottle-fed children it was 25.1%for gut disorders, 9.2% in breast-fed vs.13.1 % for bo...

BACKGROUND Inappropriate baby bottle use is associated with many adversely health affects such as dental caries, refuse to eat etc. International pediatric institutes suggest weaning by the age of 1 year To establish a practical recommendation for Thai children, needs situation analysis. OBJECTIVE To determine the percentage of baby bottle use including late night feeding, behavior contributi...

PLCs are used in many real world applications. In any industry to achieve automation PLC is the first choice. Traditional methods of bottle filling is time consuming and expensive. This method involved placing of bottles onto a conveyor belt and filling only one bottle at a time. Filling is a task that carried out by a machine which packages liquid products such as cold drinks, water or milk et...

The migration of antimony (Sb) from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottling for acidic juices have been assessed in this study. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) method was chosen for antimony content determination. Experiments were undertaken at different conditions (15, 25, 35, 45days at 25, 50°C for first use bottle, reused bottle). Two different acidic juices (lemon j...

An earlier study demonstrated that oral feeding of premature infants (<30 wk gestation) was enhanced when milk was delivered through a self-paced flow system. The aims of this study were to identify the principle(s) by which this occurred and to develop a practical method to implement the self-paced system in neonatal nurseries. Feeding performance, measured by overall transfer, duration of ora...

A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe and spectrometer capable of investigating full intact wine bottles is described and used to study a series of Cabernet Sauvignons with high resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy. Selected examples of full bottle 13C NMR spectra are also provided. The application of this full bottle NMR method to the measurement of acetic acid content, the detection of complex s...
