On Fortification of Projection Games [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
A recent result of Moshkovitz \cite{Moshkovitz14} presented an ingenious method to provide a completely elementary proof of the Parallel Repetition Theorem for certain projection games via a construction called fortification.

Evaluating the effectiveness and risks of bread fortification programs in the middle eastern region: a comprehensive review. [PDF]

Front Public Health
Fortification of staple foods such as bread has been implemented as a public health strategy to address nutrient deficiencies. Currently, 11 out of 22 Middle Eastern countries have mandatory wheat flour fortification, primarily with iron and folic acid ...

Parallel repetition via fortification: analytic view and the quantum case [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
In a recent work, Moshkovitz [FOCS'14] presented a transformation n two-player games called "fortification", and gave an elementary proof of an (exponential decay) parallel repetition theorem for fortified two-player projection games.

Status of prevention of neural tube defects post-folic acid fortification of cereal grains in South Africa. [PDF]

Public Health Nutr
Objective: Neural tube defects (NTD) are serious, life-threatening birth defects. Staple food fortification with folic acid (vitamin B9) is a proven, effective intervention to reduce NTD birth prevalence.

A No-Go Theorem for Derandomized Parallel Repetition: Beyond Feige-Kilian [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
In this work we show a barrier towards proving a randomness-efficient parallel repetition, a promising avenue for achieving many tight inapproximability results.

Narrative review of methodological advances in human milk fortification: for better preterm infant growth. [PDF]

Front Pediatr
It is generally suggested that human milk alone might not be enough to meet the nutritional requirements of very preterm infants, necessitating the use of nutritional fortification.

Estimating food consumption, micronutrient intake and the contribution of large-scale food fortification to micronutrient adequacy in Tanzania. [PDF]

Public Health Nutr
Objective: To assess the potential contribution of large-scale food fortification (LSFF) towards meeting dietary micronutrient requirements in Tanzania. Design: We used household food consumption data from the National Panel Survey 2014–15 to estimate ...

The Potential for Bouillon Fortification to Reduce Dietary Micronutrient Inadequacy: Modeling Analyses Using National Survey Data from Cameroon, Ghana, and Haiti. [PDF]

Curr Dev Nutr
Background: Bouillon is commonly consumed in some countries where micronutrient deficiencies are prevalent, but it has not been widely adopted as a micronutrient fortification vehicle.

Iron deficiency up-regulates iron absorption from ferrous sulphate but not ferric pyrophosphate and consequently food fortification with ferrous sulphate has relatively greater efficacy in iron-deficient individuals [PDF]

, 2011
Fe absorption from water-soluble forms of Fe is inversely proportional to Fe status in humans. Whether this is true for poorly soluble Fe compounds is uncertain.

Vitamin A Status of Women and Children in Yaoundé and Douala, Cameroon, is Unchanged One Year after Initiation of a National Vitamin A Oil Fortification Program. [PDF]

, 2017
Vitamin A (VA) fortification of cooking oil is considered a cost-effective strategy for increasing VA status, but few large-scale programs have been evaluated. We conducted representative surveys in Yaoundé and Douala, Cameroon, 2 years before and 1 year
