Do School Lunches Contribute to Childhood Obesity?

The most recent figures show that 16 percent of children aged 6-11 are obese – almost twice the rate of overweight in the early 1980s. Although there are few straightforward policy tools to combat the high level of obesity, almost two thirds of school children eat a National School Lunch Program lunch, and consume about one-third of their total calories from this meal. Previous studies have est...

Do Carbon Nanotubes contribute to Electrochemical Biosensing?

Carbon nanotubes have been attracting a lot of interest as electron transfer mediators to enhance electrochemical biosensing. The main reason behind this is usually recognized in terms of augmented electrochemical active surface area. The aim of this paper is to review other phenomena that occur at the electrochemical interface. Three distinct features of these phenomena mainly appear in electr...

Why do Consumers Contribute to Connected Goods?

Consumers contribute content available to their peers to social networks, which is important to ensure continued activity, and we term these contributions connected goods. Based on the properties of connected goods, we posit that consumers contribute to obtain either warm-glow altruistic benefits, compete for positional status or benefit from the experience of their peers’ contributions. We dev...
