The results demonstrate an interesting dissociation. When the child is questioned implicitly, he makes "culinary" associations (e.g. pasta-steak) in 81% of cases, to the detriment of nutritional associations (e.g. pasta-rice). This dominance of the culinary attitude is seen irrespective of the child's age, reflecting cultural learning where pleasure is fundamental. However, when the child is qu...

This paper addresses the issue of adapting cases represented by plain text with the help of formal concept analysis and natural language processing technologies. The actual cases represent recipes in which we classify ingredients according to culinary techniques applied to them. The complex nature of linguistic anaphoras in recipe texts make usual text mining techniques inefficient so a stronge...

In the early 1990s, foreign foods were reintroduced into everyday life of ordinary people in Beijing. As city ascends to top on global hierarchy urban places, its transnational food practices have evolved drastically. Proposing “co-bricolage” as a useful framework rethink culture, this article examines changing modality trans-local foodways Beijing from 1990s 2010s, and identifies transition cu...

Increasing and inadvertent use of herbs makes herb-drug interactions a focus of research. Concomitant use of warfarin, a highly efficacious oral anticoagulant, and herbs causes major safety concerns due to the narrow therapeutic window of warfarin. This paper presents an update overview of clinical findings regarding herb-warfarin interaction, highlighting clinical outcomes, severity of documen...

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has accumulated a big amount of precious resource in the long history of development. TCM prescriptions that consist of TCM herbs are an important form of TCM treatment, which are similar to natural language documents, but in a weakly ordered fashion. Directly adapting language modeling style methods to learn the embeddings of the herbs can be problematic as t...

This study aims to explore consumers' attitude toward a new preservation technique using herbs and berries in organic meat production, which enables to minimize the amount of chemical additives and to reduce the salt content in meat products. Consumer acceptance of the preservation technique using herbs and berries and intention to purchase products preserved with herbs and berries were investi...

rumen is a persistent and specific ecosystem consists of bacteria, protozoa and fungus where feed fermentation takes place in it. produced hydrogen in rumen can be used in the synthesis of the volatile fatty acids and the microbial protein and its excess would be eliminated through the production of methane by methanogenesis. nutritionists have tried to find ways to decrease loss and energy and...

Introduction There is some debate as to whether commonly used herbs can help the passage of pre-existing large kidney stones. Given the advances with modern techniques of stone removal, this is probably now a bypothetical issue in most clinical situations. What is probably more relevant is whether herbs can help prevent stone formation or assist in the dissolution (or passage) of small stones. ...

Herbaceous plants are a key component of tropical forests. Previous work indicates that herbs contribute substantially to the species richness of tropical plant communities. However, the processes structuring tropical herb diversity, and how they contrast with woody communities, have been underexplored. Within the understory of a 50-ha forest dynamics plot in central Panama, we compared the div...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of nettle (urtica dioica) a medicinal plant in starter and grower feeds on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of broilers. a completely randomized design was used with 324 broilers (ross-308) divided in nine treatments and three replicates (with 12 birds in each replicate) 1 to 42 days....
