School Food Environment Promotion Program: Applying the Socio-ecological Approach
Background Despite of healthy nutrition recommendations have been offered in recent decades, researches show an increasing rate of unhealthy junk food consumption among primary school children. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of health promotion intervention on the school food buffets and the changes in nutritional behaviors of the students. Materials and Methods In this Qu...
متن کاملA call for applying trophic structure in ecological restoration
Ecological restoration projects have traditionally focused on vegetation as both a means (seeding, planting, and substrate amendments) and ends (success based upon primary productivity and vegetation diversity). This vegetation-centric approach to ecological restoration stems from an historic emphasis on esthetics and cost but provides a limitedmeasure of total ecosystem functioning and overloo...
متن کاملAn approach to Improve Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Using CUDA
The time consumption in solving computationally heavy problems has always been a concern for computer programmers. Due to simplicity of its implementation, the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is a suitable meta-heuristic algorithm for solving computationally heavy problems. However, despite the simplicity, the algorithm is inefficient for solving real computationally heavy problems but the pr...
متن کاملThe EcoRaft Project: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Teaching Lessons in Ecological Restoration
With rapidly changing technology we are seeing a number of innovative ways emerging that can engage young people and help them understand some of the complexities of ecology. In the following example submitted by Riley Pratt and colleagues at the University of California, Irvine, we see how fruitful collaboration between ecologists and computer scientists can be within the field of ecological e...
متن کاملAn Automated Approach to Site Selection for Ecological Restoration in Fragmented Landscapes
Reducing fragmentation and increasing interior area of habitat patches are major goals of restoration programs. Most strategies to correct these issues are qualitative based on visual interpretation, rather than quantitative based on the spatial characteristics of patches. To circumvent this, we developed an approach that integrates domain knowledge into an objective and geometric analysis of t...
