Outpatient preoperative parenteral nutrition in malnourished surgical patients: A feasibility study (the OPPORTUNITY study)

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) improves outcomes in malnourished surgical patients. Traditionally, this requires hospital admission, increasing length of stay and costs—challenges worsened by limited hospital bed availability. Outpatient PN may offer a feasible alternative.

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Association between phase angle and all-cause mortality in adults aged 18–49 years: NHANES 1999–2004

Scientific Reports
Phase angle (PhA) is an indicator of nutritional status. The association between PhA and all-cause mortality has been confirmed in older adults, but no relevant studies have been conducted in adults aged 18–49 years.

The impacts of source structure on geodetic parameters demonstrated by the radio source 3C371

, 2017
Closure quantities measured by very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations are independent of instrumental and propagation instabilities and antenna gain factors, but are sensitive to source structure.

Compatibilization and Reinforcement of PHB/PBAT Blends via Sequential Blending of Surface‐Modified Cellulose

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Sequential blending improved the mechancial properties of PHB/PBAT/cellulose composites as compared to the one‐step batch mixing method. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural and biodegradable polymer generated by bacteria. While its applications to potentially replace petroleum‐based plastics are severely limited due to its brittleness and ...

Environmental Friendly Alternative Methods for the Recovery of Intracellular Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) [PDF]

, 2005
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are intracellular polymers that can be produced by bacteria as energy reserve material. This biodegradable material has properties similar to synthetic thermoplastics.

Characterization of Ultrafast Decomposition Dynamics in Nitrate Esters

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ignition of energetic materials initiates chemical reactions on atomic length scales within femtoseconds, making these reactions difficult to investigate experimentally. The technique of femtosecond time‐resolved mass spectrometry (FTRMS) can capture molecular rearrangement and bond‐breaking events in isolated molecules with sub‐50 femtosecond

Phytohemagglutinin content in fresh kidney bean in China

International Journal of Food Properties, 2019
Fresh kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are common green vegetable that are widely cultured and consumed worldwide. The benefits of fresh kidney beans are highly substantial, but at the same time, toxicity caused by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) has raised

Deep learning‐based ecological analysis of camera trap images is impacted by training data quality and quantity

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Machine learning image classifiers are increasingly being used to automate camera trap image labelling, but we don't know how much ML model accuracy matters for downstream ecological analyses. Using two large data sets from an African savannah and an Asian dry forest ecosystem, we compared human labelled data with predictions from deep‐learning models ...
