Differences in energy and nutritional content of menu items served by popular UK chain restaurants with versus without voluntary menu labelling: A cross-sectional study.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundPoor diet is a leading driver of obesity and morbidity. One possible contributor is increased consumption of foods from out of home establishments, which tend to be high in energy density and portion size. A number of out of home establishments

Energy Performance Labels For Dwellings Versus Real Energy Consumption

Building Simulation Conference Proceedings, 2013
The Flemish EPB calculation method, in accordance with the EU EPBD, determines an insulation label and an energy performance label as an assessment method for the theoretical energy performance of buildings. By monitoring 70 recently built dwellings, this research aims to check the extent to which these labels correspond to the real energy performance ...

Energy Labels and Heuristic Decision-Making: The Role of Cognition and Energy Literacy

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
To overcome the inefficiency in household energy use, energy labels with a grade-like categorical efficiency rating-scale are widely used across the globe. However, presenting energy efficiency information in categories has been found to induce heuristic rather than rational decision-making, known as the "class valuation effect": consumers value the ...

Should fast-food nutritional labelling in South Africa be mandatory?

The South African Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2022
Objectives: This study aimed to: (i) determine the proportion of fast-food restaurants that provide nutritional information, (ii) describe the nutritional information of similar food items and meal combinations across the fast-food restaurants, (iii) and

Energy of binary labeled graphs

Transactions on Combinatorics, 2013
Let G be graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G) and the set A={0,1}. A mapping is called binary vertex labeling of G and l(v) is called the label of the vertex v under l. In this paper we introduce a new kind of graph energy for the binary labeled graph, the labeled graph energy.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Energy Performance Certificate Classes Rating Methods Tested with Data: How Does the Application of Minimum Energy Performance Standards to Worst-Performing Buildings Affect Renovation Rates, Costs, Emissions, Energy Consumption?

Energies, 2022
Energy renovations of the building stock are a paramount objective of the European Union (EU) to combat climate change. A tool for renovation progress monitoring is energy performance certificate (EPC) labelling.

Trends in domestic energy use reduction and private renewable energy production [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Domestic energy use can be directly influenced by personal choices. These choices include the selection of equipment (efficiency), mode of equipment use, consumer behaviour but also by self-production of electricity, space heating and/or cooling ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Integrating ageing into minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for sustainable and efficient refrigeration in East Africa

Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability
The biggest growth in residential electricity consumption across Africa is projected to arise from the increased proliferation of cooling devices such as air conditioners, fans, and refrigeration units. This growth is due to rising urbanisation, economic
