There are several as-yet unresolved issues with the scientific substantiation and communication of product claims relating to satiety. Core issues include the context, meaning and scope of these claims, and thus the type of clinical evidence required to support them. In particular, there are a range of potential consumer use-contexts for products carrying these claims, which may not necessarily...

The production of middle-season rice is an important part agriculture in the Yangtze River basin China. In recent years, chalky grain rate has decreased with release new cultivars. However, limited information available on factors responsible for this change rate. This study evaluated trends and size traits cultivars relationships between hybrid a province located middle reaches during 2006–202...

Vision transformers (ViTs) have become the popular structures and outperformed convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on various vision tasks. However, such powerful bring a huge computation burden, because of exhausting token-to-token comparison. The previous works focus dropping insignificant tokens to reduce computational cost ViTs. But when ratio increases, this hard manner will inevitably di...

Background Ingredients of aloe vera leaves are being increasingly used for their anti-inflammatory and slimming properties. However, serious allergic reactions are very rare and only occasionally reported. Here, we present an eleven year old girl with anaphylaxis within minutes after topical administration of aloe vera to a skin lesion. On admission, the girl showed no signs of respiratory or c...

determine the erythrocyte transketolase (ETK) activity or thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) effect on admission, or thiamine excretion. Tanphaichitr et a13 state that thiamine excretion alone is not a good index of the state of thiamine nutrition in an individual subject. The absence of cardiac and central nervous system manifestations may be explained partially by the fact that the patient restrict...

Igniting thermogenesis within white adipose tissue (i.e., promoting expression and activity of the uncoupling protein UCP1) has attracted much interest. Numerous "browning agents" have now been described (gene ablations, transgenes, food components, drugs, environments, etc.). The implied action of browning agents is that they increase UCP1 through this heat production, leading to slimming. Her...
