The importance of food in health promotion and disease prevention is well known. The aims of our study were to evaluate the daily energy intake of an adult group;

In this study, MIE values measured with two different explosion tubes, HARTMANN and MIKE 3, are compared. Generally, MIKE 3 apparatus provides MIE results, which are equal or lower to those measured with the HARTMANN apparatus; this is particularly true for the energy ranges between 1 and 10mJ and higher than 100mJ. Differences observed can modify samples classification according to their sensi...

After a short introduction to solar neutrino physics, this paper describes the conceptual design and expected performance of the BOREXINO underground detector at Gran Sasso. Low background results from the Counting Test Facility, the rst phase of the BOREXINO project, are summarized. Indicative sensitivities to non-standard neutrino physics scenarios are presented.

We study, by means of mean-field calculations and Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice gas model, the distribution of adhesion sites of a bilayer membrane and a supporting flat surface. Our model accounts for the many-body character of the attractive interactions between adhesion points induced by the membrane thermal fluctuations. We show that while the fluctuation-mediated interactions alone ...

A new approach for computing the atom-in-molecule [quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM)] energies in Kohn-Sham density-functional theory is presented and tested by computing QTAIM energies for a set of representative molecules. In the new approach, the contribution for the correlation-kinetic energy (T(c)) is computed using the density-functional theory virial relation. Based on our calc...
