Three-dimensional food printing is an emerging application within the realm of 3D printing with the potential of transforming the foods we consume. The technique harbors incredible potential for improving the eating experience of people suffering from dysphagia, an ailment which causes discomfort at the time of swallowing. Patients suffering from this condition have special diets consisting of tex
In pursuit of sustainable development within the building industry, there is a shift towards design strategies that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The European Commission has a goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and the United Nations has also developed Agenda 2030 to aid in the reduction of the environmental impact. The city of Malmö has also developed a local plan for a
Water is a crucial resource for our planet and a part of the accommodation sector´s environmental management. So far most attention has been paid to the direct water use such as for guest bathrooms, swimming pools and irrigated gardens. There is however also an indirect water use trough food and fuel consumption which has not been a focus for hotels environmental commitment but appears to stand fo

Reliance on fossil fuels, in many parts of the world, represents a burden not only foreconomic reasons but also in terms of import dependency. The situation is particularly severein islands that do not feature interconnected grids and use oil derivatives for electricitygeneration. The consequent high prices for electricity, though, translate into an increasedeconomic viability for renewable energy
With the increased pressure and challenges of economic, environmental, and social character, the need for innovations (including both the generation and adoption of innovations) that can be implemented in supply chains increases. A number of novel concepts focusing on intelligent logistics and packaging systems are being developed and tested in the food industry, all over the world. Several of the
Penguins face a major thermal transition when returning to land in a hypothermic state after a foraging trip. Uninsulated appendages (flippers and feet) could provide flexible heat exchange during subsequent rewarming. Here, we tested the hypothesis that peripheral vasodilation could be delayed during this recovery stage. To this end, we designed an experiment to examine patterns of surface rewarmPenguins face a major thermal transition when returning to land in a hypothermic state after a foraging trip.

Carbon emissions emanating from infrastructure construction are substantial, and public infrastructure clients have begun to include carbon reduction goals in their procurement requirements. This is a new and complex field where practices vary and are still developing. Based on project documentation and interviews we map and analyze the design and implementation of carbon reduction requirements in
Currently, it is important to develop strategic frameworks to support the selection of sustainable resource recovery solutions. This study applies a new framework for planning, implementation, and assessment of resource recovery strategies for a full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in São Paulo megacity. The framework comprises several steps based on case study-specific data and informatio
BACKGROUND: Apalutamide is an inhibitor of the ligand-binding domain of the androgen receptor. Whether the addition of apalutamide to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) would prolong radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival as compared with placebo plus ADT among patients with metastatic, castration-sensitive prostate cancer has not been determined.METHODS: In this double-blind,
A method of diagnosing, predicting, or prognosticating about a disease that includes obtaining experimental data, wherein the experimental data is high dimensional data, filtering the data, reducing the dimensionality of the data through use of one or more methods, training a supervised pattern recognition method, ranking individual data points from the data, wherein the ranking is dependent on th

There is great potential to apply energy recovery from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) to achieve better energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions abatement. However, in most of the wastewater treatment plants that produce biogas through sludge digestion, there is no thermal energy recovery or electricity generation, and the biogas is flared and wasted, particularly in developing
Sleep disturbances are a pervasive problem among postmenopausal women, with an estimated 40 to 64% reporting poor sleep. Hypnosis is a promising intervention for sleep disturbances. This study examined optimal dose and delivery for a manualized hypnosis intervention to improve sleep. Ninety postmenopausal women with poor sleep were randomized to 1 of 4 interventions: 5 in-person, 3 in-person, 5 ph
Background: Galectins are a group of carbohydrate-binding proteins that are involved in neoplastic development and progression. In a previous mass spectrometry-based study, we identified galectin 4 as a down-regulated protein in short-term survivors of pancreatic cancer. This study was performed to validate the prognostic value of galectin 4 in a larger cohort of pancreatic cancer patients undergo
Euthymios the Athonite (or the Iberian; ca. 955–1028) is a well-known translator of Greek hagiographical and patristic texts into Georgian. He also made reverse translations, not least the story of Barlaam and Ioasaph, from Georgian into Greek. An array of Greek texts at his disposal helped him turn the story into a recognizable Byzantine text, free of dogmatic problems. Based on the results by Gr
The application of anion exchange membranes (AEM) in their hydroxide (OH–) form (sometimes denoted by HEM) as separators in low temperature fuel cells is a matter of ongoing research. OH– conductivity close to the proton conductivity of PEMs (such as the well-established Nafion®) are quite common [i] for high levels of hydration, and the reactivity of OH– with CO2 in air (used as oxidant in fuel
