OBJECTIVES The impact of the national salt reduction programme in the UK on social inequalities is unknown. We examined spatial and socioeconomic variations in salt intake in the 2008-2011 British National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) and compared them with those before the programme in 2000-2001. SETTING Cross-sectional survey in Great Britain. PARTICIPANTS 1027 Caucasian males and fem...

Solid Electrolyte Interphase Enabler In article number 2211958, Xiangming He, Li Wang and co-workers review the mechanism of a typical salt additive in electrolyte, lithium difluorophosphate, for Li-ion batteries at extreme working conditions. With this as an exemplar, perspective presents potential additives robust interphase enablers to break their intrinsic limits, release full functionaliti...

A new method for the simultaneous determination of tin, lead, cadmium, and mercury in tobacco and tobacco additive by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography combined with microwave digestion and an online enrichment technique is developed. The tin, lead, cadmium, and mercury ions are precolumn derivatized with tetra-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-porphyrin (T(4)-DMAPP) to form color che...

Helicobacter pylori is responsible for most human stomach cancers. Gastric cancer also is overrepresented in populations consuming high-salt diets. Attempts to test the hypothesis that high salt promotes H. pylori carcinogenesis have been hindered by the lack of a wild-type mouse model. Based on pilot observations of unexpectedly early gastric adenocarcinoma in C57BL/6 x 129S6/SvEv (B6129) mice...

N-vinylcarbazole (NVK) is proposed as an additive for acrylates thermal free radical polymerization (FRP) and epoxy thermal ring opening polymerization (ROP) at room temperature. The new initiating systems are based on a silane/silver salt/N-vinylcarbazole interaction, which ensures good to excellent polymerization. Moreover, the polymerization is much more efficient under air than under argon....

A new approach to meat color and shelf-life assessment is reported here for hamburgers mixed with goji berry. Samples powdered or aqueous extract of berry were monitored, compared without the additive ten days its L*, a* b* properties determined by computer vision using a homemade setup. Noteworthy results, in particular luminosity, all samples – only salt pepper perceived, predictive mathemati...

This study describes an adaptation of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) that can be used to estimate protein solubility optima. The method does not support determination of absolute, e.g. quantitative solubility, however it does provide a basis for identifying the salt concentration, pH, or additive concentrations that support the highest relative solubility. The magnitude of a given...

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental comparison of different forms of SSD and normalised cross-correlation of image neighborhoods. Signal detection theory is used as a framework for analysis of correlation techniques. A sum of squared difference (SSD) of two image neighborhoods is shown to provide an optimal matching measure for tracking and registration in the case fo additive Ga...

The antibacterial properties of a polymeric phosphonium salt were studied to determine its suitability as an additive to develop an antibacterial dental resin. The phosphonium salt monomer studied was tri-n-butyl(4-vinylbenzyl)phosphonium chloride (VP), and acrylic acid (AC) and methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (MA) were used as controls. The antibacterial activity of these mono...
