The United Nations General Assembly has convened a Summit on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), an historic moment in the global combat of these disorders.Lifestyles in increasingly urban and globalised environments have led to a steep surge in NCD incidence in low and middle income countries, where two thirds of all NCD deaths occur (most important
On a static and dynamic calibration of thermochromic liquid crystals
The paper deals with a static and dynamic calibration of selected wide-range thermochromic liquid crystals (TLC - SolarDust 24C), which are very easy to ingest and can provide accurate information on the temperature distribution on different surfaces.Static calibration problems, such as TLC illumination Vacuum Floor Mop Tool angle or illumination i
Bifurcation analysis of elliptic equations described by nonhomogeneous differential operators
In this article, we are concerned with a class of nonlinear partial differential elliptic equations with Dirichlet boundary data.The key feature of this paper consists in competition effects of two generalized Medical and Ambulatory supplies / Gloves differential operators, which extend the standard operators with variable exponent.This class of pr
Strengthening food security through alternative carbohydrates in the city-state of Singapore
Strengthening food security, in places where land and natural resources are limited or no longer available, is challenging.This is especially true for the production of staple food carbohydrates.Unlike some alternative foods, such as cultured meats, producing food carbohydrates D bit using conventional agri-food approaches requires many natural res
Evaluation of a Global Vegetation Model using time series of satellite vegetation indices
Atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> drives most of the greenhouse effect increase.One major uncertainty on the future rate of increase of CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere is the impact of the anticipated D bit climate change on the vegetation.Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVM) are used to address this question.ORCHIDEE is such a
