Exploring Drivers and Mitigation Strategies for Food Manufacturing Wastes in the Circular Economy Using Rich Pictures

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to identify the main types, drivers, and solutions for food loss and waste (FLW) as reported by stakeholders within the UK food manufacturing sector from a Circular Economy perspective. Based on insights from diagramming‐based workshops involving 35 participants working in an organisation in the sector, FLW occurs primarily as ...

Research on Fuzzy Self-tuning Defrosting Technology of Air Source Heat Pump Air conditioners

Zhileng xuebao, 2005
Based on the experimental study on the processes of frosting and defrosting of the air conditioner when it works as heat pump, this paper reports a new technique of fuzzy self-tuning defrosting control, which can not only adapt to all weathers but also ...

Photothermal superhydrophobic copper nanowire assemblies: fabrication and deicing/defrosting applications

International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, 2023
Ice and frost buildup continuously pose significant challenges to multiple fields. As a promising de-icing/defrosting alternative, designing photothermal coatings that leverage on the abundant sunlight source on the earth to facilitate ice/frost melting ...

Isolation of carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms from samples of raw‐meat diets for dogs in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms are an emerging threat in veterinary medicine that also have zoonotic potential. However, little is known about the prevalence and risks of these organisms in pet food. We present the incidental finding of gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms within samples of raw meat diets for dogs in the United Kingdom ...

No effect of short‐term exposure to ocean acidification on individual‐level variation in behaviour and susceptibility to predation in a Great Barrier Reef damselfish

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study shows that projected ocean acidification does not alter behaviour or predation risk in coral reef fish, challenging earlier assumptions. By quantifying consistent individual‐level behavioural differences and relating individual traits to survival during a live‐predation trial, it also provides evidence for a boldness–predation trade‐off in a

The Performance Comparison of Several Defrosting Modes for Air-source Heat Pump

Zhileng xuebao, 2012
The defrosting time, discharge pressure, indoor temperature fluctuations and other defrosting characteristics of air source heat pump were experimentally investigated at three defrosting modes, i.e., reverse cycle defrosting, hot gas bypass defrosting ...

Defrosting Characteristics of Refrigeration, Heating, and Hot Water Combined Air-conditioning System

Zhileng xuebao, 2020
Frost on the surface of an outdoor heat exchanger will seriously affect the operating performance and safety factor of a refrigeration-, heating-, and hot-water combined air-conditioning system when it is operating in winter.

When sharing becomes shameful: atmospheres of class formation in Namibia Quand le partage devient honteux : ambiances de formation de classes en Namibie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Anthropologists have long shown that asking for food in times of need is morally valued in rural Namibia. Yet among the Damara pastoralists with whom I work, people now increasingly describe feeling shame (taob) when they ask for food. In this article, I trace this shift to the affective dynamics of social class formation.

Sensor‐Detected Hypoglycaemia Is Associated With Inflammatory Protein and Immune Cell Alterations in People With Diabetes: Findings From the Hypo‐METRICS Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Experimental hypoglycaemia induces a persistent inflammatory response. We investigated whether real‐life sensor‐detected hypoglycaemia (SDH) is associated with immune parameters in people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and explored potential differences between the groups.
