Countries in the Asia-Pacific region differ widely with respect to their nutritional intake and nutritional status. The highest daily energy and proportion of fat intakes of the population is shown by the New Zealanders (total energy 3475 Kcals; fat proportion 37.2% or 1293 Kcals), while the lowest is the Siamese (total energy 2288 Kcals; fat proportion 13.1% or 300 Kcals). The Indonesian on th...

approach of organic material anaerobic biodegradation and species of organic matter in sediment are discussed, and then a classifying method of the species is proposed on a new viewpoint. the pore water sediment oxygen demand (sod) numerical model in bottom sediment system is proposed originally, which differs from other advection-dispersion-sorption (ads) model in adding a sod-creating term. t...

In this paper, we examine critically the notion of “Triple Bottom Line” accounting. We begin by asking just what it is that supporters of the Triple Bottom line idea advocate, and attempt to distil specific, assessable claims from the vague, diverse, and sometimes contradictory uses of the Triple Bottom Line rhetoric. We then use these claims as a basis upon which to argue (a) that what is soun...

introduction: the relative costs of generating energy vary considerably depending on location. since hospital managers confront serious financial problems, they need to look for ways to use energy more efficiently. this study aimed to study the rate of energy use (water, gas and electricity) in a number of hospitals in isfahan from 1378 to 1382 and to compare the results with the available stan...

Improving the performance of pump station Development new technologies in pumping stations, including taking into account laws advanced hydrodynamic motion, using stratified nature flow and analyzing based on theoretical data to create floating structures their application open water intake facilities.It enters canal from river form nanos (sediments) moving bottom river, with flowing river. The...

The movement of piston in free-piston expander-linear generator (FPE-LG) mainly depends on the dynamic force balance among four kinds forces (air impetus, air resistance, electromagnetic resistance and frictional resistance). In this paper, Newton's Second Law first law thermodynamics are used to analyze single-piston FPE-LG, change work produced by analyzed. Nominal work-electricity conversion...

The objective of this study was to determine whether the amount of forage in a total mixed ration influences feed sorting by cows and whether the extent of this sorting changes as they adapt to a new diet. Six lactating Holstein cows, individually fed once per day, were provided each of 2 diets in a crossover design (dry matter basis): 1) a higher forage diet (HF; 62.3% forage), and 2) a lower ...

The interplay between diet and the microbiota has been implicated in the growing frequency of chronic diseases associated with the Western lifestyle. However, the complexity and variability of microbial ecology in humans and preclinical models has hampered identification of the molecular mechanisms underlying the association of the microbiota in this context. We sought to address two key questi...

Animal and human studies suggest a potential link between acid-base status and blood pressure. Contemporary Western diets yield a daily systemic acid load of varying amounts, yet the association with hypertension has never been explored. We prospectively examined the association between the diet-dependent net acid load (also known as the estimated net endogenous acid production) and the risk of...
