Restaurant Eating in Nonpurge Binge-Eating Women

This study describes restaurant-eating behaviors for nonpurge binge-eating women in comparison to dieters. Restaurant-eating behaviors were determined from a content analysis of 14-day food diaries using a convenience sample of 71 women who reported binging without purging and 46 dieters without a recent binge history. Comparing bingers to dieters, there were no significant differences in frequency of eating out, dessert consumption at restaurants, or fast food eating. Bingers more often perceived restaurant eating to be uncontrolled and excessive. Both bingers and dieters consumed significantly more calories (226-253 kcal) and fat (10.4-16.0 gm) on restaurant days. Extra calories consumed on restaurant-eating days may contribute to weight gain over time, especially with frequent restaurant eating. Restaurants may present a high-risk food environment for bingers and dieters, contributing to loss of control and excess consumption.
SUSTAINABILITY OF CEMENT AND CONCRETE INDUSTRIES

Sustainability is important to the well-being of our planet, continued growth of a society, and human development. Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world. However, the production of portland cement, an essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significant amount of CO2, a greenhouse gas (GHG); production of one ton of portland cement produces about one ton of CO2 and other GHGs. The environmental issues associated with GHGs, in addition to natural resources issues, will play a leading role in the sustainable development of the cement and concrete industry during this century. For example, as the supply of good-quality limestone to produce cement decreases it will become more difficult to produce adequate amounts of portland cement for construction. There is a possibility that once there is no more limestone, say in a geographical region, and thus no portland cement, all of the employment associated with the concrete industry as well as new construction projects will be terminated. Due to limited natural resources, concern over GHGs, or, both, there are regions in the world where cement production is being curtailed, or, at least, cannot be increased to keep up with the population increase. Therefore, it is necessary to look for sustainable solutions for future concrete construction. A sustainable concrete structure is constructed in order to ensure that the total environmental impact during its life cycle, including its use, will be minimal. Sustainable concrete should have a very low inherent energy requirement, be produced with little waste, be made from some of the most plentiful resources on earth, produce durable structures, have a very high thermal mass, and be made with recycled materials. Sustainable constructions have a small impact on the environment. They use ―green‖ materials, which have low energy costs, high durability, low maintenance requirements, and contain a large proportion of recycled or recyclable materials. Green materials also use less energy and resources, and can lead to high-performance cements and concrete. Concrete must keep evolving to satisfy the increasing demands of all of its users. Designing for sustainability means accounting for the short-term and long-term environmental consequences in the design.
Comparison of Unilateral and Bilateral E.C.T.

sufficiency and reduces his dependence on others end thus removes one of the most harmful factors responsible for mental ill health. It is unfortunately true that on missions and settlements the Aborigine becomes over-dependent and lacks any sense of his own value. This, of course, varies from place to place and one of the happier exceptions is the Roman Catholic Mission at Port Keats, where they have recently built a most impressive hospital without any outside assistance.
Molecular cloning of IGλ rearrangements using long‐distance inverse PCR (LDI‐PCR)

Malignant cells of mature B‐cell origin show tumor‐specific clonal immunoglobulin gene (IG) rearrangements, including V(D)J recombinations, nucleotide mutations, or translocations. Rapid molecular cloning of the breakpoint sequence by long‐distance inverse PCR (LDI‐PCR) has so far been applied to rearrangements targeted to IGH joining, IGH switch, and IGκ regions. We tended to apply LDI‐PCR method for cloning of IGλ rearrangements.
The relationship of psychosocial variables to perceived levels of job satisfaction among high tech engineers.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF PSYCHOSOCIAL VARIABLES TO PERCEIVED LEVELS OF JOB SATISFACTION AMONG HIGH TECH ENGINEERS May, 1985 Richard Riesenberg, B.A., Harvard University M.S., Simmons College, Ed.D. , University of Massachusetts Directed by: Professor Allen Ivey ■> The purpose of this study was to identify what job dimensions are the most important to software development engineers and to what extent they perceive opportunities to attain such job dimensions. The effect of demographic and other special factors on perceived levels of job satisfaction was also assessed. The computerized question¬ naire developed for this study had a reliability of . 85 and more than 69% of the population completed it. The results revealed that overall the participants ranked interesting work as the most important job dimen¬ sion. They perceived the greatest opportunities to have satisfying working relationships, to do interesting work and to have job security. Higher levels of stress were significantly correlated with reports of greater oppor¬ tunities to experience intrinsic job dimensions. Intent to transfer or quit significantly correlated with reports of fewer opportunities to attain extrinsic job dimensions.
Cutting Edge: Allele-Specific and Peptide-Dependent Interactions between KIR3DL1 and HLA-A and HLA-B12

Although it is clear that KIR3DL1 recognizes Bw4+ HLA-B, the role of Bw4+ HLA-A allotypes as KIR3DL1 ligands is controversial. We therefore examined the binding of tetrameric HLA-A and –B complexes, including HLA*2402, a common Bw4+ HLA-A allotype, to KIR3DL1*001, *005, *007, and *1502 allotypes. Only Bw4+ tetramers bound KIR3DL1. Three of four HLA-A*2402 tetramers bound one or more KIR3DL1 allotypes and all four KIR3DL1 allotypes bound to one or more HLA-A*2402 tetramers, but with different binding specificities. Only KIR3DL1*005 bound both HLA-A*2402 and HLA-B*5703 tetramers. HLA-A*2402-expressing target cells were resistant to lysis by NK cells expressing KIR3DL1*001 or *005. This study shows that HLA-A*2402 is a ligand for KIR3DL1 and demonstrates how the binding of KIR3DL1 to Bw4+ ligands depends upon the bound peptide as well as HLA and KIR3DL1 polymorphism.
Energy Savings Analysis of a Recommended Residential Air Conditioning Incentive Program in Saudi Arabia

Over the past couple of decades, the kingdom ’ s annual per capita electricity consumption has been steadily growing by around 7%. One of the key causes for such a high growth is the intensive use of non-energy-efficient equipment, which was dominating the Saudi market. In 2017, the residential sector consumed around 143 TWh, which represents around 48% of the country ’ s total electricity consumption. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of an air conditioning incentive program for citizens from energy and economic sides. This chapter is a detailed study where program gains from energy and economic standpoints were based on substituting participants ’ old air conditioning units with new units that are better in performance. The proposed program was designed over an 8-year period with three scenarios where the government will take care of all the capital cost, 75%, and none of the capital cost in these scenarios. The results of this study indicated that an accumulated savings of up to 17.11 TWh by 2025 with NPVs above $13 billion can be achieved in all scenarios. Moreover, it was estimated that the program will add an average of $0.5 billion per year to the kingdom ’ s GDP over the duration of the program.

Type III intermittency in human partial epilepsy

A rigorous characterization of the dynamic regimes underlying human seizures is needed to understand, and possibly control, the transition to seizure. Intra‐ or extracranial brain electrical activity was recorded in five patients with partial epilepsy, and the interictal and ictal activity analysed to determine the dynamics of seizures. We constructed first‐return one‐dimensional maps by fitting the scatter plots of interpeak intervals. The features of the mapping indicated that type III intermittency is the dynamic charateristic of the ictal events. This was confirmed using histograms of the durations of the regular phases during seizures. The intermittent regime explains the abrupt transitions observed during ictal events in terms of transient stabilization of the unstable steady state.
Mumps outbreaks across England and Wales in 2004: observational study

In October 1988, routine immunisation against mumps was introduced in the United Kingdom as a combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine for children aged 12-15 months. Although the incidence of mumps declined quickly, mathematical modelling supported the introduction of a second dose of MMR in 1996.1 In 1999, numbers of cases of mumps in teenagers in England and Wales began to rise. We report a further increase in the incidence of mumps in 2004. Notifications of clinically diagnosed and laboratory confirmed mumps cases are collated for England and Wales by the Health Protection Agency Centre for Infections. Confirmed cases include those obtained by routine follow-up of all notified cases where IgM is detected in oral fluid. In 2004, the number of mumps notifications in England and Wales increased to 16 436 from 4204 in 2003. A total of 8104 cases of mumps were confirmed in 2004, …
Premature Translation of oskar in Oocytes Lacking the RNA-Binding Protein Bicaudal-C

ABSTRACT Bicaudal-C (Bic-C) is required duringDrosophila melanogaster oogenesis for several processes, including anterior-posterior patterning. The gene encodes a protein with five copies of the KH domain, a motif found in a number of RNA-binding proteins. Using antibodies raised against the BIC-C protein, we show that multiple isoforms of the protein exist in ovaries and that the protein, like the RNA, accumulates in the developing oocyte early in oogenesis. BIC-C protein expressed in mammalian cells can bind RNA in vitro, and a point mutation in one of the KH domains that causes a strong Bic-C phenotype weakens this binding. In addition, oskar translation commences prior to posterior localization of oskar RNA inBic-C − oocytes, indicating thatBic-C may regulate oskar translation during oogenesis.
Local-damascene-finFET DRAM integration with p/sup +/ doped poly-silicon gate technology for sub-60nm device generations

We integrate FinFET DRAM in sub-60nm feature size. To avoid severe passing gate effects in FinFET cell array, we introduce a local damascene gate structure. Threshold voltage control of the ultra thin body transistors is successfully achieved by adopting p+ boron in-situ doped poly-silicon gate on the FinFET cells. As a result, very stable and uniform operation of FinFET cells is realized. The local damascene FinFET with p+ gate can become a highly feasible mainstream DRAM technology for sub-60nm low-power high-speed devices
Forage: Optimizing Food Use With Machine Learning Generated Recipes

Food waste is a major issue in the United States. For an American family of four, the average value of discarded produce alone is nearly $1,600 annually (EPA, 2015). Our project, Forage, is a machine learning algorithm that considers what you have in the fridge or pantry, to generate an innovative recipe that utilizes those available ingredients. Specifically, Forage takes in a string of available ingredients words separated by comma, converts them to a vector representation and uses a recurrent neural network to generate a full recipe including instructions, the category and the title. Our goal would be for Forage to help minimize food waste while helping to create your next delicious, never seen before meal.
Metabolite profile analysis of aconitine in rabbit stomach after oral administration by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/multiple-stage tandem mass spectrometry

Abstract 1. Aconitine (AC), an active and highly toxic constituent extracted from aconitum plants, is well known for its excellent effects against rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis. The metabolism of AC in liver and intestine has been previously reported. However, little is known about the metabolism of AC in stomach. In this study, the metabolite profiling of AC in stomachs of rabbit and rat was performed by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/multiple-stage tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI/MSn), for the first time. 2. The samples were purified by liquid–liquid extraction, separated using an Agilent extended C18 column following a linear gradient elution and then detected by ESI/MSn in positive ion mode. Metabolites were identified by comparing their protonated molecules, fragmentation patterns and chromatographic behaviors with those of standard compounds and data from authorized literature works. 3. In conclusion, 14 metabolites were identified in animal stomach after oral administration of AC. The presentation of a large amount of metabolites of AC in stomach suggested that, for aconitum alkaloids, the stomach might play an important role in their metabolism.

Food habit and economy of household

The objective of the study is to explore household purchase habits, price paid and resulting expenditures. Prices fluctuate because of variousness and purchases from either market or vendor, expenditure range from RS 1484-4342. One hundred household were selected for the study by random sampling method, the respondents were male member for monthly expenditure and female for weekly, assessment of food habit and expenditure was for the last 30 days was done with help of scoring method. Collected information from agriculture production, purchase, gifts (only from kitchen garden), and alleviating sources. Increasing international interest on social impact contributes towards increases in food prices, making food less accessible for the poorest and increasing the number of malnourished people (Graham-Rowe et al. 2014; Stuart, 2009), Secondly contribute towards decreasing the quality level of natural resources.
A Technology-Based Quality Innovation to Identify Undiagnosed Hypertension Among Active Primary Care Patients

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to develop a technology-based strategy to identify patients with undiagnosed hypertension in 23 primary care practices and integrate this innovation into a continuous quality improvement initiative in a large, integrated health system. METHODS In phase 1, we reviewed electronic health records (EHRs) using algorithms designed to identify patients at risk for undiagnosed hypertension. We then invited each at-risk patient to complete an automated office blood pressure (AOBP) protocol. In phase 2, we instituted a quality improvement process that included regular physician feedback and office-based computer alerts to evaluate at-risk patients not screened in phase 1. Study patients were observed for 24 additional months to determine rates of diagnostic resolution. RESULTS Of the 1,432 patients targeted for inclusion in the study, 475 completed the AOBP protocol during the 6 months of phase 1. Of the 1,033 at-risk patients who remained active during phase 2, 740 (72%) were classified by the end of the follow-up period: 361 had hypertension diagnosed, 290 had either white-coat hypertension, prehypertension, or elevated blood pressure diagnosed, and 89 had normal blood pressure. By the end of the follow-up period, 293 patients (28%) had not been classified and remained at risk for undiagnosed hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Our technology-based innovation identified a large number of patients at risk for undiagnosed hypertension and successfully classified the majority, including many with hypertension. This innovation has been implemented as an ongoing quality improvement initiative in our medical group and continues to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of hypertension among primary care patients.
The Past, Present and Future of Sustainability in Tourism Policy and Planning in Sub-Saharan Africa

Tourism is currently growing faster in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and in many other developing regions compared to the rest of the world. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) estimates that in absolute terms there were 63 million international tourist arrivals in SSA for the year ending 2017 – a 9% growth rate. However, this is only 5% of global international tourist arrivals with the share of receipts for SSA at 3% (World Tourism Organization [UNWTO], 2018). While tourism in SSA has long been touted as a potential vehicle for economic growth, job creation and poverty reduction (Novelli, 2015), the outcome has been inconsistent and implications at the local level questionable (Adu-Ampong, 2017, 2018a; Mbaiwa, 2005; Kimbu & Ngoasong, 2013). Nonetheless, the growing influence of the tourism sector in SSA calls for careful consideration of the past, present and future planning and policy contexts through which tourism can be leveraged to achieve sustainable outcomes. This Special Issue on Sustainability in tourism policy and planning in Sub-Saharan Africa: past, present and future, reassesses the process of tourism policy and planning in SSA over the years. This is set against the wider context of the UNWTO having declared 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development and the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) having three of the seventeen goals making an explicit reference to tourism in goal 8: economic growth and employment, goal 12: sustainable consumption and production, and goal 14: conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development (United Nations, 2016). The tourism sector is ergo being called upon to explicitly integrate sustainability in its economic, social and environmental dimensions than has been done previously. This Special Issue therefore considers how the increasing focus on sustainability in policy discourses are shaping current and future tourism policy and planning in the SSA context. The papers are drawn from across all the different sub-regions of sub- Saharan Africa and provide a critical (re)examination of the role of tourism policies, plans and practices in achieving sustainable development in SSA.
The effect of ict on social support in healthcare: a systematic review

Background: With increased popularity in the use of ICT in healthcare to provide support to individuals, it is imperative to investigate the impact of ICT on social support measures in health and social care. Objective: This study aims to review literature on the effectiveness of ICT-based tools and intervention on social support measures with reference to health and illness. Methods: Relevant databases (PubMed\MEDLINE, clinicaltrials.gov and Cochrane Library) were systematically searched using a combination of key search terms. To be included in the review, studies had to be published in English language, be published between 2000 and 2017, apply ICT intervention on a health-related condition and report the effect of ICT on social support measures. Results: The database search produced 4,226 articles. After screening, 30 eligible papers were selected for the review. The studies were quite heterogeneous in terms of study design, age of participants, reported outcome, outcome measuring tool and health condition of participants. 20% of included studies were rated as low-quality evidence, with a high risk of research bias. Over 75% of reviewed studies reported a positive impact of ICT on social support measures. The results show that ICT interventions have a statistically significant positive impact on social support measures. Social network was found to have the most impact on social support measures. Conclusion: There is need for more high-quality research on the effect of ICT on social support measures. The results of this systematic review suggest that ICT could effectively provide social support to individuals, although the degree of its effect could depend on the nature of ICT tool used and the well-being status of individuals. Further work in the use of ICT to provide social support for preventive healthcare is recommended. Also, more research investigating the effect of Smartphone-based instant messaging applications (such as WhatsApp and Snapchat) and virtual reality technology on social support is encouraged.
Taking the chaos out of genetic patchiness: seascape genetics reveals ecological and oceanographic drivers of genetic patterns in three temperate reef species

Marine species frequently show weak and/or complex genetic structuring that is commonly dismissed as ‘chaotic’ genetic patchiness and ecologically uninformative. Here, using three datasets that individually feature weak chaotic patchiness, we demonstrate that combining inferences across species and incorporating environmental data can greatly improve the predictive value of marine population genetics studies on small spatial scales. Significant correlations in genetic patterns of microsatellite markers among three species, kelp bass Paralabrax clathratus, Kellet’s whelk Kelletia kelletii and California spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus, in the Southern California Bight suggest that slight differences in diversity and pairwise differentiation across sampling sites are not simply noise or chaotic patchiness, but are ecologically meaningful. To test whether interspecies correlations potentially result from shared environmental drivers of genetic patterns, we assembled data on kelp bed size, sea surface temperature and estimates of site‐to‐site migration probability derived from a high resolution multi‐year ocean circulation model. These data served as predictor variables in linear models of genetic diversity and linear mixed models of genetic differentiation that were assessed with information–theoretic model selection. Kelp was the most informative predictor of genetics for all three species, but ocean circulation also played a minor role for kelp bass. The shared patterns suggest a single spatial marine management strategy may effectively protect genetic diversity of multiple species. This study demonstrates the power of environmental and ecological data to shed light on weak genetic patterns and highlights the need for future focus on a mechanistic understanding of the links between oceanography, ecology and genetic structure.
