Caloric Requirements and Food Consumption Puzzles of the Poor
How much do caloric requirements vary across households and how do they affect food consumption patterns? Since caloric intake is a widely-used indicator of poverty and welfare, investigating changes in caloric requirements and food consumption patterns is important, especially for the poor. Combining anthropometric and time-use data for India, we construct a quantitative measure of individual ...
متن کاملConserved ‘Hypothetical’ Proteins: New Hints and New Puzzles
Conserved hypothetical proteins, i.e. conserved proteins whose functions are still unknown, pose a challenge not just to functional genomics but also to general biology. For many conserved proteins, computational analysis provides only a general prediction of biochemical function; their exact biological functions have to be established through direct experimentation. In the few cases when this ...
متن کاملMechanical circulatory support: new data, old problems.
Mechanical devices to support the circulation in the presence of a “failing” heart were originally conceived as alternatives to biological replacement of the heart. Such alternatives are needed because of the problems inherent in allotransplantation. These have included the grossly inadequate supply of donor hearts, as well as the need for chronic immunosuppression and the myriad of complicatio...
متن کاملeconomic optimization and energy consumption in tray dryers
دراین پروژه به بررسی مدل سازی خشک کردن مواد غذایی با استفاده از هوای خشک در خشک کن آزمایشگاهی نوع سینی دار پرداخته شده است. برای آنالیز انتقال رطوبت در طی خشک شدن به طریق جابجایی، یک مدل لایه نازک برای انتقال رطوبت، مبتنی بر معادله نفوذ فیک در نظر گفته شده است که شامل انتقال همزمان جرم و انرژی بین فاز جامد و گاز می باشد. پروفایل دما و رطوبت برای سه نوع ماده غذایی شامل سیب زمینی، سیب و موز در طی...
15 صفحه اولThe Thermodynamic Arrow: Puzzles and Pseudo-puzzles
For more than a century, physics has known of a puzzling conflict between the T-asymmetry of thermodynamic phenomena and the T-symmetry of the underlying microphysics on which these phenomena depend. This paper provides a guide to the current status of this puzzle, distinguishing the central issue from various issues with which it may be confused. It is shown that there are two competing concep...
