Improved nutrition situation analysis can increase the understanding of the likely magnitude and main causes of the nutrient gap among a particular target group, for example, children under 2 or pregnant and lactating women, in a particular context. The World Food Programme, with input from ...
and (ii) can the rewards for environmental land management options fill the income gap due to loss of income support? Working with three volunteer upland farms, we combined the methods of a map-based natural capital and ecosystem services assessment with those of financial farm business appraisal...
fruits, or vegetables—the main sources of dietary fiber. So it shouldn’t be surprising that the average intake of dietary fiber is pitifully low—only 15 g per day on average. In fact, dietary fiber is listed as a “nutrient of concern” in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans—alo...
A syringe fill system is described, which is useful for filling syringes for dental anesthetic applications. The system incorporates capability for “push-pull”, “pull-push”, “push-p
Transformation methods of this invention to provide plants with enhanced environmental stress tolerance are preferably practiced in tissue culture on media and in a controlled environment. “Media” refers to the numerous nutrient mixtures that are used to grow cells in vitro, that is, outside of ...
amino acids. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to develop a complementary food recommendation (CFR) and food multi-mix (FMM) formulation to fulfill the micronutrient as well as amino acid gap by optimizing the use of high-quality amino acid source from locally available, nutrient-dense foods...
Deeper and prolonged winter snow cover can increase permafrost temperatures and over time can lead to increased active layer thickness, soil nutrient availability, and shifts in vegetation composition [4,5,6,7]. Late lying snow patches affect the soil moisture content and thermal properties of the...
