Mathematical meal models for simulation of human metabolism [PDF]
We present and critically discuss five commonly used mathematical models of the meal glucose rate of appearance in humans. Such models are key to simulation of the metabolism in healthy people, people with diabetes, and obese people, and they are central to developing effective treatments and prevention strategies.

Learning in context – improved nutrient management in arable cropping systems through participatory research [PDF]
Participatory research (PR) provides opportunities to build knowledge relevant to site-specific farms conditions. This study used a PR approach to develop nutrient management strategies in stockless organic farming.

Abstract The lime equivalence, expressed in calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE), is an important quality parameter of biochar as a soil amendment. This work measured the CCE values and the relevant physicochemical parameters of seven defatted cottonseed meal‐, seven poultry litter‐, and five wood‐based biochar products.

Rapeseed market, worldwide and in Europe
Global rapeseed production has undergone sustained growth over the past 20 years. Having surpassed cottonseed production in the early 2000’s, it is now the second most produced oilseed behind soybeans.

CookGAN: Meal Image Synthesis from Ingredients [PDF]
In this work we propose a new computational framework, based on generative deep models, for synthesis of photo-realistic food meal images from textual list of its ingredients. Previous works on synthesis of images from text typically rely on pre-trained text models to extract text features, followed by generative neural networks (GAN) aimed to generate

Understanding how foods and enteral feedings influence the gut microbiome
Abstract The gut microbiome supports both gut and overall health. Diet is known to be one of the driving factors that influences the gut microbiome. The foods we eat, the dietary and nondietary components they contain, various food consumption patterns, and the ratio of nutrients consumed have been shown to impact gut microbiome composition and ...

"The struggle is a part of the experience": Engaging Discontents in the Design of Family Meal Technologies [PDF]
Meals are a central (and messy) part of family life. Previous design framings for mealtime technologies have focused on supporting dietary needs or social and celebratory interactions at the dinner table; however, family meals involve the coordination of many activities and complicated family dynamics.

Learning Absorption Rates in Glucose-Insulin Dynamics from Meal Covariates [PDF]
Traditional models of glucose-insulin dynamics rely on heuristic parameterizations chosen to fit observations within a laboratory setting. However, these models cannot describe glucose dynamics in daily life. One source of failure is in their descriptions of glucose absorption rates after meal events.

Processing-bioprocessing of oilseed rape in bioenergy production and value added utilization of remaining seed components [PDF]
Cruciferous oilseed crops accumulate relatively high concentrations of oil, proteins and dietary fibres (DF) in their seeds, in addition to bioactive components as glucosinolates and myrosinase isoenzymes (thioglucohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.147). When mixed in

Global economic effects of war‐induced agricultural export declines from Ukraine
Abstract The war in Ukraine caused export disruptions that jeopardized the availability and affordability of agricultural and food products around the world. This research employs a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to understand the global economic effects of war‐induced agricultural export declines from Ukraine, given the inability to
