OBJECTIVES To investigate the association of carbonated non-diet soft drink consumption and violence perpetration in a sample of Boston adolescents. METHODS In a survey of Boston public high schools, respondents were asked how often they drank non-diet soft drinks and whether they had carried a weapon or engaged in physical violence with a peer. Regression analysis was used to determine the r...

Dietary salt is a major determinant of fluid intake in adults; however, little is known about this relationship in children. Sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption is related to childhood obesity, but it is unclear whether there is a link between salt and sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption. We analyzed the data of a cross-sectional study, the National Diet and Nutrition Survey for young peo...

Introduction: The oral cavity and the teeth are frequently subjected to numerous physiological pH variations, mainly due type of diet. These changes main cause enamel demineralization consequent breakage under mechanical forces. This causes severe sensitivity sometimes pain, which endures unless hard tissue is remineralized. Since does not self-repair, application alloplastic materials that hav...

AIM The primary aim of this study was to describe the carbonated beverage (soft drink) consumption patterns of New Zealand (NZ) youth and to investigate the influence that home availability of soft drinks had on their consumption. A secondary aim was to determine if there was an association between soft drink consumption and body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference. METHODS Data from Yout...

Abstract Three of the most recognizable corporate names are Microsoft, a manufacturer of computer software, and Google and Yahoo, two internet search providers. Two of the most popular soft drink brand names are Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola. This article proposes to use the sequences of English alphabet letters in the names of these companies and products as the basis for creating five new peptides...

This paper introduces different data fusion methods which are used for an electrochemical measurement using a sensor array. In this study, we used ruthenium dioxide sensing membrane pH electrodes to form a sensor array. The sensor array was used for detecting the pH values of grape wine, generic cola drink and bottled base water. The measured pH data were used for data fusion methods to increas...
