Low-Protein Formulas with Alpha-Lactalbumin-Enriched or Glycomacropeptide-Reduced Whey : Effects on Growth, Nutrient Intake and Protein Metabolism during Early Infancy: A Randomized, Double-Blinded Controlled Trial

Protein intake is higher in formula-fed than in breast-fed infants during infancy, which may lead to an increased risk of being overweight. Applying alpha-lactalbumin (α-lac)-enriched whey or casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP)-reduced whey to infant formula may enable further reduction of formula protein by improving the amino acid profile. Growth, nutrient intake, and protein metabolites were evalua

Roadmap to the study of gene and protein phylogeny and evolution—A practical guide

Developments in sequencing technologies and the sequencing of an ever-increasing number of genomes have revolutionised studies of biodiversity and organismal evolution. This accumulation of data has been paralleled by the creation of numerous public biological databases through which the scientific community can mine the sequences and annotations of genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes of multip

Formation of pebbles in (gravito-)viscous protoplanetary disks with various turbulent strengths

Aims. Dust plays a crucial role in the evolution of protoplanetary disks. We study the dynamics and growth of initially submicron dust particles in self-gravitating young protoplanetary disks with various strengths of turbulent viscosity. We aim to understand the physical conditions that determine the formation and spatial distribution of pebbles when both disk self-gravity and turbulent viscosity

Fate of calcareous nannofossils during the Rhaetian (Late Triassic) : evidence from the Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria

Calcareous nannofossils evolved in the global ocean from the Carnian (early Late Triassic) and have contributed to the accumulation of biogenic calcium carbonate in marine sediments since then. Bio-diversification and bio-productivity became more significant in the Rhaetian (Late Triassic), representing an important period to understand the dynamics of calcareous nannofossil evolution. The calcare

Numerical Modeling for Rapid Charging of Hydrogen Gas Vessel in Fuel Cell Vehicle

As a fuel for power generation, high-pressure hydrogen gas is widely used for transportation, and its efficient storage promotes the development of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). However, as the filling process takes such a short time, the maximum temperature in the storage tank usually undergoes a rapid increase, which has become a thorny problem and poses great technical challenges to the steady ope

The West needs a communication strategy about the war in Ukraine

One year into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the West is in need for a diversified strategy when discussing the conflict with its partners. Due to historical experiences, non-European and non-Western countries look at the Russian aggression differently. Supporting Ukraine thus means learning how communicate the consequences of the ongoing invasion in a language that would take into accou

Reaching Optimal Distributed Estimation Through Myopic Self-Confidence Adaptation

Consider discrete-time linear distributed averaging dynamics, whereby a finite number of agents in a network start with uncorrelated and unbiased noisy measurements of a common state of the world modeled as a scalar parameter, and iteratively update their estimates following a non-Bayesian learning rule. Specifically, let every agent update her estimate to a convex combination of her own current e

Competition-Based Resilience in Distributed Quadratic Optimization

We propose a competition-based approach to resilient distributed optimization with quadratic costs in Networked Control Systems (e.g., wireless sensor network, power grid, robotic team) where a fraction of agents may misbehave (through, e.g., hacking or power outage). Departing from classical filtering strategies proposed in literature, and inspired by a game-theoretic interpretation of consensus,

Stability and bifurcations in transportation networks with heterogeneous users

A critical aspect in strategic modeling of transportation systems is user heterogeneity. In many real-world scenarios, e.g., when tolls are charged and drivers have different trade-offs between time and money, or when they get informed about current congestion by different routing apps, modeling users as rational decision makers with homogeneous utility functions becomes too restrictive. While glo

Women's sexual and reproductive health in war and conflict : are we seeing the full picture?

It is well established that women's sexual and reproductive health (SRHR) is negatively affected by war. While global health research often emphasises infrastructure and systematic factors as key impediments to women's SRHR in war and postwar contexts, reports from different armed conflicts indicate that women's reproduction may be controlled both by state and other armed actors, limiting women's

Professionellt pappersgöra : Att bemästra ett komplext handlingsutrymme i beslutstexter om ekonomiskt bistånd

Ekonomiskt bistånd är det svenska välfärdssystemets yttersta skyddsnät. Biståndet syftar till att ge tillfälligt ekonomiskt stöd till dem som inte har några andra sätt att försörja sig, eller när inkomster eller socialförsäkringsförmåner inte räcker. Ekonomiskt bistånd regleras av SoL, en målrationell ramlag som redogör för vad biståndet ämnar åstadkomma snarare än att detaljstyra handläggningen oSocial assistance is the last safety net of the Swedish welfare system. It is designed to aid those individuals whom cannot support themselves through funds or income, including any form of social security. The Social Services Act, the law that regulates social assistance, is a framework law which focuses on the outcome of the assistance rather than the basis of eligibility assessment. At the same
