There has been a dramatic change in the UK 'foodscape', accompanied by increasing rates of overweight and obesity. This study explores dietary change and change in BMI recorded longitudinally (1980-2000) against the change in food availability recorded retrospectively. Over 20 years the foodscape changed dramatically, with the total number of food outlets increasing by 79.4%. Analysis did not f...

let r be a right gf-closed ring with finite left and right gorenstein global dimension. we prove that if i is an ideal of r such that r/i is a semi-simple ring, then the gorensntein flat dimensnion of r/i as a right r-module and the gorensntein injective dimensnnion of r/i as a left r-module are identical. in particular, we show that for a simple module s over a commutative gorensntein ring r, ...
