Prenatal Sugar Consumption and Late-Life Human Capital and Health: Analyses Based on Postwar Rationing and Polygenic Scores [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Maternal sugar consumption in utero may have a variety of effects on offspring. We exploit the abolishment of the rationing of sweet confectionery in the UK on April 24, 1949, and its subsequent reintroduction some months later, in an era of otherwise uninterrupted rationing of confectionery (1942-1953), sugar (1940-1953) and many other foods, and we ...

Bio‐Based and Degradable Food Packaging Materials: Where Are They?
Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 6, March 16, 2025.This review discusses different biopolymer‐based, biodegradable materials (bbMs) and their applicability to food packaging applications. The review especially focuses on the material properties of those bbMs taking into account recent developments from academia and industry and discusses different challenges that still need to be overcome to find, in ...

‘Had it not been for her’: Gender, Care Labour and Disability in the British Caribbean, 1788–1834
Gender &History, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract This article explores the intersections between gender, disability and care labour in the slaveholding societies of the British Caribbean from 1788 to 1834. Considered economic burdens by slaveholders, aged and disabled bondswomen were made productive through caring for their enslaved peers, many of whom were themselves temporarily ...

Volumetric based mass flow estimation on sugarcane harvesters [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Yield monitors on harvesters are a key component of precision agriculture. Mass flow estimation is the critical factor to measure, and having this allows for field productivity analysis, adjustments to machine efficiency, and cost minimization by ensuring trucks are filled maximally without exceeding weight limits.

Detection of Sugar-Lectin Interactions by Multivalent Dendritic Sugar Functionalized Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
Appl. Phys. Lett. 101, 053701 (2012), 2012 We show that single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) decorated with sugar functionalized poly (propyl ether imine) (PETIM) dendrimer is a very sensitive platform to quantitatively detect carbohydrate recognizing proteins, namely, lectins. The changes in electrical conductivity of SWNT in field effect transistor device due to carbohydrate - protein ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Researchers develop advanced tools to study grapevine traits like berry quality and stress resilience. A 200K SNP array and high‐throughput phenotyping enable the identification of loci linked to berry shape, sugar content, acidity, and cold tolerance. Functional validation of genes such as NAC08 reveals roles in cold tolerance.
