Nutrition literacy is linked to health via its influence on dietary intake. There is a need for a tool to assess nutrition literacy in research and dietetic practice. We sought guidance from nutrition professionals on topic areas and features of an electronic nutrition literacy assessment tool for Australian adults. 28 experienced nutrition professionals engaged in a range of nutrition and diet...

Analisam-se as bases epistemológicas presentes na construção da escrita Proposta Curricular de Santa Catarina em Educação Física Básica (PCSCEF) e os possíveis vínculos epistemológicos seus consultores nas versões 1991 1998. A pesquisa qualitativa, caráter descritivo interpretativo, foi realizada por meio uma entrevista semiestruturada conduzida com que participaram das respectivas PCSCEF. Os d...

Derivatives of phage lambda with the rightmost 3% of the genome (the QSR region) from the related phage phi 80 fail to grow at low temperatures (e.g., 32 degrees) in Escherichia coli hosts deficient in either protein component of IHF (integration host factor), the products of the himA and hip/himD genes. The abortive infection of lambda (QSR)80 in mutants defective for IHF was studied in detail...

Qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) pursues a symbolic approach to reasoning about a spatial domain. Qualitative calculi are defined to capture domain properties in relation operations, granting a relation algebraic approach to reasoning. QSR has two primary goals: providing a symbolic model for human common-sense level of reasoning and providing efficient means for reasoning. In this paper, we...

Purpose The conventional project delivery (CPD) approach has been reported in the literature as most widely used method construction industry globally compared to other methods. However, researchers and practitioners have argued that approach, specifically during production of design documentation under CPD, lacks certain capabilities ensure quality enhance delivery. Therefore, this study aims ...

Qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) is a method of representing spatial data by extracting necessary information depending on a user’s purpose, and allowing reasoning on this representation. Although many studies have examined QSR, little work has been carried out from the viewpoint of computational models, which are necessary for practical use in an implemented system. This paper presents a co...

The use of conceptual neighbourhood diagrams (CNDs) is now fairly well established in AI literature. In AI applications, and in particular Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR), the nodes of CNDs are typically populated by individual relations defined on regions or intervals, and the edges connecting adjacent nodes as continuous transformations between them. While CNDs have been used to measure t...

The luminescence (lux) operon (luxICDABEG) of the symbiotic bacterium Vibrio fischeri is regulated by the transcriptional activator LuxR and two acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) autoinducers (the luxI-dependent 3-oxo-hexanoyl-HSL [3-oxo-C6-HSL] and the ainS-dependent octanoyl-HSL [C8-HSL]) in a population density-responsive manner called quorum sensing. To identify quorum-sensing-regulated (Q...
