This study incorporates household energy needs into Foster–Greer–Thorbecke (FGT) based poverty measures to examine in South Africa. Our household-specific line is founded on the application of semiparametric estimation expenditure shares that are used determine a equivalence scale and, thus, specific required consumption level or line. We find headcount extensive, exceeding 50%, as gap and seve...

Sustainable food and nutrition security solutions demand integration alignment in public policies, particularly the post-COVID-19 scenarios. The introduction of integrated policies to address needs Pakistan is an immediate requirement. This study has applied Foster, Greer Thorbecke (FGT) index estimate dimensions through primary secondary data. analysis reveals that utilization sustainability h...

The government’s lockdown and restriction measures on the COVID-19 pandemic adversely altered livelihoods, commodity/food prices as well food security status in Nigeria, especially for rural farming households. A multistage sampling technique was used to collect data from 480 households across three selected states of SouthWest geopolitical zone Nigeria. This research entailed rapid evaluation ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate sources of error in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measurement of percent fibroglandular tissue (%FGT) using two-point Dixon sequences for fat-water separation. METHODS Ten female volunteers (median age: 31 yrs, range: 23-50 yrs) gave informed consent following Research Ethics Committee approval. Each volunteer was scanned twice following repositioning to enable a...

Measuring poverty using non-income indicators enable countries to target and develop programs for alleviation understand its performance towards the sustainable development goals (SDG’s). This paper which seeks evaluate of municipality Ocampo in Camarines Sur, Philippines SDG’s via Community-based Management System (CBMS) would policymakers recipients government interventions municipality. look...

Obesity is caused by an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure and accumulation of excess lipids in adipose tissues. Recent studies have demonstrated that green tea and its processed products (e.g., oolong and black tea) are introduced to exert beneficial effects on lipid metabolism. Here, we propose that fermented green tea (FGT) extract, as a novel processed green tea, exhibi...

United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) set up 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030. One of various SDGs is achieve zero hunger, which directly connected end food security improved nutrition. Present study attempted analyse dimensions insecurity among tribal households Gujarat with help Foster, Greer Thorbecke (FGT) index. The head coun...

The major components of tea may be significantly influenced according to the type of fermentation, and consequently the effects of different teas will differ. We examined whether green tea fermented with Aquilariae Lignum (fGT) shows a stronger anti-diabetic effect than unfermented green tea (GT) on mice with type 2 diabetes. To evaluate the anti-obesity effect of fGT, we assessed body weight, ...

When grown in glucose or fructose medium in the absence of sucrose, Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1299 produces two distinct extracellular dextransucrases named glucose glucosyltransferase (GGT) and fructose glucosyltransferase (FGT). The production level of GGT and FGT is 10 to 20 times lower than that of the extracellular dextransucrase sucrose glucosyltransferase (SGT) produced on sucrose...

In this report we discuss some technical aspects of the fast Gauss transform (FGT). The FGT is a special case of the single level FMM for the Gaussian potential. We give detailed derivation of the correct error bounds which is rather terse in the original paper. We also briefly discuss about the data structures to implement the space subdivision in higher dimensional spaces. [ FGT ]: April 8, 2006
