A partir de trois situations contrastées d’un grand quart nord-est la France, nous questionnons manière dont territorialisation agri-alimentaire, en plus renforcer une certaine reconnexion entre agriculture et alimentation, engage des liens multiples avec territoires extérieurs ou moins proches. En analysant à fois les dynamiques endogènes aux territoires, formes d’articulation envisageant l’en...

In the postoperative there may be difficulties with the quality of alimentation, tolerance to various types of food, as well as vomiting and regurgitation.

Host resistance has become a viable approach to eliminating aflatoxin contamination of maize since the discovery of several maize lines with natural resistance. However, to derive commercial benefit from this resistance and develop lines that can aid growers, markers need to be identified to facilitate the transfer of resistance into commercially useful genetic backgrounds without transfer of u...

Background: The NSF specifies that mental health service providers should have a locally agreed proforma for assessing risk. Risk assessment proformas (RAPs) currently in use vary considerably in both structure and content. This study describes some similarities and differences. Method: We requested a copy of each provider trust’s RAP. These were assessed across a range of structural characteri...

The construction of good starting solutions for multi-start local search heuristics is an important, yet not well-studied problem. In these heuristics, randomization methods are usually applied to explore new promising areas and memory mechanisms are incorporated with the main purpose of reinforcing good solutions. Under the template of a typical multi-start metaheuristic, Meta-RaPS (Meta-heuri...
