Full textAbstract:
The higher calorie levels reported in Gazeley, Newell, Bezabith (2015) are a function of a conversion of food quantities to calories that is weighted towards contemporary, calorie-rich foods. Their conversion uses the full distribution of contemporary foods and should not be applied to historical populations. Since Gazeley, Newell, Bezabith assume that industrial workers in the past had access to contemporary foods, the revised calorie levels reflect contemporary diets rather than historical diets.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to estimate an adult-equivalent scale for calorie requirements and to determine the differences between adult-equivalent and per capita measurements of calorie availability in the Brazilian population. The study used data from the 2002-2003 Brazilian Household Budget Survey. The calorie requirement for a reference adult individual was based on the mean requirements for adult males and females (2,550kcal/day). The conversion factors were defined as the ratios between the calorie requirements for each age group and gender and that of the reference adult. The adult-equivalent calorie availability levels were higher than the per capita levels, with the largest differences in rural and low-income households. Differences in household calorie availability varied from 22kcal/day (households with adults and an adolescent) to 428kcal/day (households with elderly individuals), thus showing that per capital measurements can underestimate the real calorie availability, since they overlook differences in household composition.

<p style="text-align: justify;">El equipo enfriador de catalizador, es un intercambiador de calor basado en la utilización de agua fresca, que además de enfriar el catalizador regenerado, debido a la combustión del coque que se produce por la conversión de la carga en el reactor, generará vapor de presión media. El crudo reducido generará una mayor cantidad de residuo de carbón en el regenerador, y que por ende al ser combustionado la cantidad de calor liberado será mayor. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar la cantidad de calor que se liberará según la variación del % en peso de crudo reducido y gasóleo, y calcular la cantidad de agua que se producirá en el <em>Catalyst Cooler</em> al mantener el sistema Reactor-Regenerador a temperatura óptima de operación. Para ello se revisa la literatura, se determinan ecuaciones de transferencia de calor y se detallan los equipos. Se realizan los cálculos sobre la cantidad de coque que se producirá en función de la variación del porcentaje en peso de gasóleo y crudo reducido, además de calcular la cantidad de calor que se generará al combustionar el coque que está adherido al catalizador y que ingresará al regenerador para ser descoquizado y ser recirculado hacia el reactor para un nuevo proceso de conversión. Esto aprovecha energía térmica que antes se desperdiciaba provocando impactos ambientales y pérdidas económicas.</p>

Objective: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) surrounding arteries supports healthy vascular function. During obesity, PVAT loses its vasoprotective effect. We study pathological conversion of PVAT, which involves molecular changes in protein profiles and functional changes in adipocytes. Approach and Results: C57BL6/J mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet for 12 weeks or a cardioprotective 30% calorie-restricted diet for 5 weeks. Proteomic analysis identified PVAT as a molecularly distinct adipose depot, and novel markers for thermogenic adipocytes, such as GRP75 (stress-70 protein, mitochondrial), were identified. High-fat diet increased the similarity of protein signatures in PVAT and brown adipose, suggesting activation of a conserved whitening pathway. The whitening phenotype was characterized by suppression of UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1) and increased lipid deposition, leptin, and inflammation, and specifically in PVAT, elevated Notch signaling. Conversely, PVAT from calorie-restricted mice had decreased Notch signaling and less lipid. Using the Adipoq-Cre strain, we constitutively activated Notch1 signaling in adipocytes, which phenocopied the changes in PVAT caused by a high-fat diet, even on a standard diet. Preadipocytes from mouse PVAT expressed Sca1, CD140a, Notch1, and Notch2, but not CD105, showing differences compared with preadipocytes from other depots. Inhibition of Notch signaling during differentiation of PVAT-derived preadipocytes reduced lipid deposition and adipocyte marker expression. Conclusions: PVAT shares features with other adipose depots, but has a unique protein signature that is regulated by dietary stress. Increased Notch signaling in PVAT is sufficient to initiate the pathological conversion of PVAT by promoting adipogenesis and lipid accumulation and may thus prime the microenvironment for vascular disease.

Full textAbstract:
The present study proposes to examine the effect of dietary levels of metabolizable energy, under a fixed nutrient:calorie ratio, on the production performance; body fat and protein deposition; and carcass characteristics of free-range broilers from 1 to 84 days of age. Nine hundred unsexed chicks were allocated to six treatments in a completely randomized design with six replicates of 25 birds each. Treatments consisted of diets with varying levels of metabolizable energy (2700, 2800, 2900, 3000, 3100 and 3200 Kcal ME/kg of diet) and a fixed proportion of nutrients relative to the energy level according to the nutritional requirements for each rearing phase. Body weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, production viability, metabolizable energy intake, protein intake, lysine intake, body fat deposition, body protein deposition and carcass characteristics were evaluated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and, later, to regression analysis. Increasing levels of metabolizable energy, coupled with a fixed nutrient:calorie ratio, reduced feed intake, increased body weight and weight gain, improved feed conversion and did not affect carcass characteristics. In conclusion, adjusting the nutrient supply according to the dietary energy level improves production performance by improving feed conversion, ensuring adequate nutrient intake and preserving fat and protein deposition in the carcass when the metabolizable energy level is raised up to 3200 Kcal/kg in all rearing stages.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Sorbitol is a low-calorie sugar alcohol that is largely used as an ingredient in the food industry, based on its sweetness and its high solubility. Here, we investigated the capacity of Lactobacillus plantarum, a lactic acid bacterium found in many fermented food products and in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals, to produce sorbitol from fructose-6-phosphate by reverting the sorbitol catabolic pathway in a mutant strain deficient for both l- and d-lactate dehydrogenase activities. The two sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Stl6PDH) genes (srlD1 and srlD2) identified in the genome sequence were constitutively expressed at a high level in this mutant strain. Both Stl6PDH enzymes were shown to be active, and high specific activity could be detected in the overexpressing strains. Using resting cells under pH control with glucose as a substrate, both Stl6PDHs were capable of rerouting the glycolytic flux from fructose-6-phosphate toward sorbitol production with a remarkably high efficiency (61 to 65% glucose conversion), which is close to the maximal theoretical value of 67%. Mannitol production was also detected, albeit at a lower level than the control strain (9 to 13% glucose conversion), indicating competition for fructose-6-phosphate rerouting by natively expressed mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase. By analogy, low levels of this enzyme were detected in both the wild-type and the lactate dehydrogenase-deficient strain backgrounds. After optimization, 25% of sugar conversion into sorbitol was achieved with cells grown under pH control. The role of intracellular NADH pools in the determination of the maximal sorbitol production is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 has great potential to significantly reduce CO2 and contribute to green economy by converting CO2 into a variety of useful products. The goal of this study is to assess and compare the techno-economic and environmental measures of CO2 catalytic conversion to methanol and Fischer–Tropsch-based fuels. More specifically, two separate process models were developed using a process modeler: direct catalytic conversion of CO2 to Fischer–Tropsch-based liquid fuel/high-calorie SNG and direct catalytic conversion of CO2 to methanol. The unit production cost for each process was analyzed and compared to conventional liquid fuel and methanol production processes. CO2 emissions for each process were assessed in terms of global warming potential. The cost and environmental analyses results of each process were used to compare and contrast both routes in terms of economic feasibility and environmental friendliness. The results of both the processes indicated that the total CO2 emissions were significantly reduced compared with their respective conventional processes.

Full textAbstract:
Maltitol is one of the low-calorie sweeteners which has a major role in food industries. Due to its characteristics of comparable sweetness level to sucrose, maltitol can be a suitable sugar replacement. In this work, catalytic membrane reactor (CMR) was examined in maltitol production through hydrogenation of maltose. Commercial ceramic membrane impregnated with Kalcat 8030 Nickel was used as the CMR. The reaction was conducted at a batch mode operation, 95 to 110°C of temperature, and 5 to 8 bar of pressure. In the range of working conditions used in this study, up to 47% conversion was achieved. The reaction conversion was significantly affected by temperature and pressure. Results of this preliminary study indicated that CMR can be used for hydrogenation of maltose with good performance under a relatively low operating pressure.

Full textAbstract:
Il calore a bassa temperatura (LTH), inferiore a 100°C, è una forma di energia largamente disponibile che viene dispersa nell’ambiente, senza alcun utilizzo. La conversione di questo tipo di energia in elettricità aprirebbe le porte allo sfruttamento di fonti energetiche come il calore solare, geotermico e di scarto industriale.
La conversione di LTH in elettricità non è però un processo efficiente a causa dei limiti posti dalla termodinamica, con la cosiddetta legge di Carnot, oltre che ai limiti tecnologici che riducono ulteriormente la conversione di questa forma di energia.
I dispositivi preposti per convertire LTH in elettricità devono poter operare con alte efficienze e potenze, e devono essere facilmente scalabili ed economici. Purtroppo, attualmente nessun dispositivo è in grado di effettuare questa conversione con potenze ed efficienze abbastanza elevate da giustificare gli alti costi (materiali, operazionali e manutenzione) e la complessità dei dispositivi stessi ed è per questo motivo che LTH non trova tutt’ora alcuna applicazione
Questo progetto di ricerca si è focalizzato sullo sviluppo di un dispositivo in grado di convertire LTH in maniera efficiente e con alte potenze. Tale dispositivo, chiamato Thermally Regnerable Redox-Flow Battery, TRB, è una batteria a flusso ricaricabile termicamente. Il dispositivo conta due diverse processi: la produzione energetica, che avviene in una cella elettrochimica in grado di produrre elettricità alle spese dell’energia libera di mescolamento di due soluzioni acquose dello stesso sale ma a diversa concentrazione. Quando le due soluzioni raggiungono la stessa concentrazione, la soluzione esausta viene mandata al secondo processo: un distillatore sottovuoto che rigenera il gradiente di concentrazione tra le due soluzioni sfruttando risorse di LTH. L’efficienza totale del dispositivo è quindi data dal prodotto tra l’efficienza della cella elettrochimica e l’efficienza del distillatore.
Studi termodinamici dimostrano che per incrementare tale efficienza è fondamentale lavorare sull’efficienza del distillatore, il cui valore dipende dalla scelta del soluto e del solvente. In particolare, per questo lavoro di ricerca si è scelto di operare con soluzioni acquose di NaI/I2 e LiBr/Br2.
I risultati raggiunti e le principali attività di ricerca vengono riportate brevemente in questo abstract:
Con la determinazione dei coefficienti di attività, si è calcolato l’energia libera di mescolamento e il potenziale a circuito aperto per entrambi i set di soluzioni (NaI e LiBr).
Le celle elettrochimiche sono state sviluppate specificamente per entrambi I sistemi studiati e test elettrochimici hanno permesso di valutare le performance dei due dispositivi, come potenza ed efficienza elettrochimica. La distillazione è stata modellizzata in modo da definire le condizioni ottimali di lavoro e determinare l’efficienza del processo.Low-Temperature Heat (LTH), below of 100°C, has elicited great interest among the scientific community, as a source of energy since it does not see any form of utilization as it is currently simply released into the environment. Its conversion would open the doors to the exploitation of a huge amount of energy as well, such as geothermal, solar, and industrial waste heat. The conversion efficiencies of LTH are low because of the limitations imposed by Carnot law, as well as the existence of technological limits which further reduce the efficiency of the conversion of LTH. In order to be suitable for extensive industrial production, LTH converters should show high power densities, scalable and efficient whilst being cost-effective; to this point, the devices proposed for this afore mentioned application all failed to achieve suitable efficiencies and power density, making the LTH conversion unfeasible. This PhD project was focused on the design of a device called Thermally Regenerable Redox-Flow Battery (TRB) consisting of a redox-flow battery that can be recharged by a thermal process. The device is based upon a two-stages technology composed by a “power production” stage and a “thermal” stage: power production happens in an electrochemical cell which release electricity at the expenses of the mixing free energy of two water solutions of the same salt at different concentrations, referred to as a concentration cell. When the two solutions reach the same concentration, the exhausted fluid is sent to the second stage, the thermal process, which regenerates the initial mixing free energy, by exploiting LTH sources, through vacuum distillation. The efficiency of the technology is the product between the efficiencies of the units in the device where both stages happen: the electrochemical cell, engineered for power production, and a distillation unit, designed to be responsible for thermal conversion. NaI/I2 and LiBr/Br2 water solutions will be the most discussed redox couple in this thesis, as result of thermodynamic analysis that have shown the importance related to the solvent and salt choice to ensure high energy conversion efficiencies. The achieved results, as well as the main research activities, are briefly reported here: starting from the determination of the activity coefficients, mixing free energy of the initial solutions, and the open circuit voltage of the electrochemical are calculated. Electrochemical cells are specifically designed for both systems while electrochemical tests are performed to evaluate the main performances of the devices, such as power density and electrochemical efficiency. Modeling of the operational conditions of the thermal stage allows to determine the distillation efficiency for both the solutions. The initial experiments prove an unprecedented heat-to-electricity efficiency for both the systems: 3% for TRB-NaI and 4-5% for TRB based on LiBr, depending on the thickness of the membrane with a power density output of almost 10 W m-2 for both technologies, which opens various possibilities to implement further improvements into this new class of energy storage/converter devices.

Full textAbstract:
Book Six of The Faerie Queene deals with the complexities of courtesy in a socially changing world. Calidore, the protagonist of Book Six, sets out to defeat the Blatant Beast, the chief enemy of courtesy, but abandons his quest midway through the book in order to live the shepherds’ life. Despite the ethical ambiguity associated with Calidore’s abandoning his quest, this pastoral setting should enable him to deepen his understanding of the nature and practice of courtesy. However, Calidore is unable to grow, and the poet essentially gives up on his own poetic quest.

Para isso, foi utilizada uma amostra formada por 18 grupos com 6 corpos de prova para cada uma das tecnologias de impressão totalizando um experimento com 216 corpos de prova submetidos às temperaturas de 40ºC, 60ºC e 80ºC, pelos tempos de 30, 60 e 120 minutos com e sem a exposição solar. Nestes foram realizadas analises densitométricas antes e depois da exposição aos fatores estudados e os dados obtidos submetidos aos testes estatísticos de: Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney e Wilcoxon para dados pareados com nível de significância de 5%. Pôde-se observar que as cores avaliadas impressas no filme pela tecnologia termográfica (AGFA) modificam sua densidade a partir de combinações de exposição a 60ºC e 120 minutos e a 80ºC e 30 minutos sem a exposição ao sol e a partir de 40ºC e 30 minutos com exposição solar, e no filme impresso pela tecnologia fototermográfica (KODAK) modifica sua densidade a 40ºC a partir de 30 minutos com e sem a exposição solar. Concluiu-se que o aumento da temperatura de armazenamento bem com a exposição à luz solar modificam a densidade dos filmes radiográficos impressos pelas tecnologias dry seca avaliadas
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the density modification of 4 colors (white, light gray, dark gray and black) in films printed by two dry technologies: thermographic (AGFA) and photothermographic (KODAK). A sample consisting of 18 groups with six specimens per printing technologies was used, totaling an experiment of 216 evaluated specimens when subjected to temperatures of 40°C, 60°C and 80°C, for periods of 30, 60 and 120 minutes with and without sunlight exposure. These specimens were submitted to densitometric analysis before and after exposure to the studied factors and data were subjected to the following statistical tests: Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon for paired data. It was observed that the evaluated colors printed on the film by thermographic technology (AGFA) modify their density at exposures to 60°C and 120 minutes, and without sunlight exposure at the temperature of 80°C after 30 minutes, and with sunlight exposure from 40°C and 30 minutes, and the film printed by photothermographic technology (KODAK) modifies its density at 40°C from 30 minutes with and without sunlight exposure. It was concluded that the increase of storage temperature and sunlight exposure modify the density of radiographic films printed by dry technologies

En la actualidad existen muchos lugares en el mundo donde el agua dulce es un bien escaso y por ende, económicamente valioso. Para mejorar esta situación se plantea la instalación de una planta de desalinización con el objetivo de aumentar la disponibilidad de agua dulce en zonas donde solo existe agua salobre. El proceso de desalinización requiere gran cantidad de energía. Dicha energía se puede obtener a partir de energía solar, ya que es renovable, sustentable y evita la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero que pueden agravar el problema de carencia de agua.
Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron revisar las distintas tecnologías que existen para la desalinización y para la captura de energía solar con el fin de poder realizar una evaluación económica simplificada sobre la implementación de una planta de desalinización.
Se construyó un prototipo concentrador de radiación solar, original de inspiración Fresnel, para poder estudiar eficiencias del diseño. El prototipo consiste de secciones cónicas con un mismo foco construido con acero brillante y en el foco un receptor de radiación que transfiere calor hacia un fluido térmico. El equipo de laboratorio tuvo una eficiencia de 70% del calor transferido al fluido térmico sobre la radiación, cercano al valor teórico calculado de 77%. Con el dato de eficiencia real se pueden diseñar concentradores industriales a partir del prototipo construido.
Se realizaron tres evaluaciones económicas para distintos escenarios que se diferencian entre sí por la tecnología de desalinización y el suministro de energía. Para los tres escenarios se consideró una tasa de descuento del 10%, un horizonte de evaluación de 10 años y un requerimiento de producción de 1.000 [m3/día]. Los concentradores dimensionados para las evaluaciones son de 8 [m] de diámetro, totalizando un área de concentración de 40,81 [m2] por concentrador. Para cada escenario se evalúa el agua obtenida para riego de cultivos (tomates) y para uso sanitario.
El primer escenario usa una tecnología de destilación que requiere para su funcionamiento 442 concentradores que suman 1,8 [ha] de concentración con lo que se obtiene una eficiencia de 555,6 [(m3 de agua desalinizada)/día/(ha de concentración)] obteniéndose una capacidad de riego de cultivo de tomates de 5,23 [ha/(ha de concentración)]. Todos los escenarios expuestos son para el caso de la venta de agua para uso sanitario ya que tienen un mayor retorno. El VAN resultó ser de - $119.000.000 (préstamo del 75%) para una inversión de $1.243.000.000. Para el segundo escenario se utiliza una tecnología de desalinización por membrana con energía eléctrica del sistema interconectado. El VAN resultó ser $44.000.000 (préstamo del 75%) para una inversión de $530.000.000. El tercer escenario usa una tecnología de desalinización por membrana con energía eléctrica por parte de los concentradores. El VAN resultó ser $212.000.000 (préstamo del 75%) para una inversión de $796.000.000.
Se plantea realizar la evaluación técnica y económica para otros materiales reflectivos del concentrador para mejorar eficiencias y también considerar bonos de carbono para aumentar la rentabilidad de los proyectos.

Parish clergy and religious change in Prague's diocese from Council of Trent till the end of the 17th century The religious change that happens in Bohemia in the 17th century has no equivalent in the Europe at this time: the whole country, where Catholics were in a very minority, comes back to the roman Church. This evolution is here seen from a very prosaic point of view: how lay people live this change, and so how acts the parish clergy in this matter. Conversion's strategy, at the end of the Council of Trent, was to permit the use of the chalice to the laity. The consequence of this permission was a very hazy situation in the parishes, but Holy See did nothing before the battle of White Mountain, and after the battle, he suppressed chalice, mainly for pastoral reasons. During the Thirty years War, the kingdom is the place of a general reform, which has its origins in the catholic missionary movement of the beginning of the century and in the political theories of this time. Bohemia is strongly marked by the war that acts as a catalyst; at the same time political and religious authorities were lacking. The inhabitants, usually just formal Catholics at the beginning, convert themselves more and more deeply during the 17th century. The eldest, who remembered the non-Catholics services, died during the...

Lucrarea de fata reprezintă o incercare de cercetare sistematică a fenomenelor și tehnicilor traductologice evidentiate în talmacirile romanesti ale romanului Le Château des Carpathes/ Castelul din Carpati, cu scopul de a releva marcile diacronice ale limbii romane literare, de-a lungul celor o suta douazeci si cinci de ani de confruntare cu scrierile lui Jules Verne. Textul Le Château de Carpathes/Castelul din Carpati, despre care discutam aici, s-a bucurat de un succes deosebit in epoca si in posteritate, ajungand la sensibilitatea cititorilor romani, dar si a traducatorilor, intrucat acesta valorifica o limba literara in care terminologia stiintifica de la nivelul de popularizare a stiintelor se îmbina cu elementele stilului beletristic: un vocabular complex, presarat cu expresii metaforice, cu forme arhaice, regionale, dar mai ales cu imprumuturi, cu neologisme obtinute pe aceasta cale a imprumutului sau prin creatii interne partiale ori totale – calcuri lingvistice, derivate, compuse, conversiuni, combinatii intre toate acestea. In plus, romanul in cauza a reprezentat un prilej de mandrie nationala, dat fiind faptul ca Transilvania, un colt de tara romaneasca, a provocat un interes deosebit pentru anticipatorul stiintific francez – un autor de talie mondiala.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents an efficiency study for scalable microwave waste management. When waste with carbon content is subjected to volume power densities on the order of 0.25W/cm3 at GHz frequencies, it converts to solid coke fuel with oil and gas bi-products that can further be processed for fuel, leaving no trace. For an efficient process, a well-controlled uniform RF field should be maintained in a non-uniform and time-variable material. We are developing a 2.45-GHz active microwave cavity with solid-state (GaN) spatially power combined sources for lower volumes, Fig.1. In the energy balance calculations, the input energy into the system consists of the waste chemical energy and the DC electrical energy used to obtain the RF power with an efficiency that can reach 70% for kW power levels. The efficiency of RF power conversion to heat in the waste mass is calculated from full-wave simulations for typical waste mixtures and ranges from 10 to 90% depending on the material and cavity filling. The output energy estimates are collected from various pyrolysis process descriptions, e.g. [1], with the total energy being that of the solid fuel (35MJ/kg) and oil caloric values, e.g. 40MJ/kg for plastics and about 10-15MJ/kg for nonplastics [2]. A byproduct is flue gas which can be converted to Syngas [3]. The total worse-case carbon footprint balance (0.3-3) calculations will be presented. Fig. 1.

Abstract Several improvements to the mathematical model of the indicator process, taking place in a diesel engine cylinder, are proposed. The thermodynamic behavior of working media is described by the equation of state, valid for real gases. Analytical mathematical dependencies between thermal parameters (pressure, temperature, volume) and caloric parameters (internal energy, enthalpy, specific heat capacities) have been obtained. These equations have been applied to the various products encountered during the burning of fuel and the gas mixture as a whole in the engine cylinder under conditions of high pressures and temperatures. An improved mathematical model, based on the first law of thermodynamics, has been developed by taking into account imperfections in the working media that appear under high pressures and temperatures. The numerical results show that there are significant differences between the values calculated using ideal gas behavior and the real gas, in particular at high pressure and high temperature conditions. The numerical experiments show that if the pressure is above 8 to 9 MPa, the imperfections in working medium must be taken into consideration. The results obtained from the mathematical dependency of the caloric parameters can also be used to model any energy conversion and combustion process, such as, advanced gas turbine engines which operate at high pressure ratios, rockets.

Abstract In the companion Part 1 of this two-part series paper several improvements to the mathematical model of the energy conversion processes, taking place in a diesel engine cylinder, have been proposed. Analytical mathematical dependencies between thermal parameters (pressure, temperature, volume) and caloric parameters (internal energy, enthalpy, specific heat capacities) have been obtained. These equations have been used to provide an improved mathematical model of diesel engine indicator process. The model is based on the first law of thermodynamics, by taking into account imperfections in the working media which appear when working under high pressures and temperatures. The numerical solution of the simultaneous differential equations is obtained by Runge-Kutta type method. The results show that there are significant differences between the values calculated by equations for ideal gas and real gas under conditions of high pressures and temperatures. These equations are then used to solve the desired practical problem in two different two-stroke turbo-charged engines (8DKRN 74/160 and Sulzer-RLB66). The numerical experiments show that if the pressure is above 8 to 9 MPa, the working medium imperfections must be taken into consideration. The mathematical model presented here can also be used to model combustion process of other thermal engines, such as advanced gas turbine engines and rockets.

Full textAbstract:
With over 40,000 studies published, omega-3s are among most studied compounds in all of biology. We know a great deal about their metabolism, genetics, and nutrition that has not been translated into the global industrial food system. Development and maintenance of the human and general neural function depends on a balanced nutritional supply of omega-6 and omega-3 PUFA. Omega-3s are the most labile of oil components, leading to rancidity during processing and limiting shelf-life. Recent research has clarified the roles of the human FADS1 and FADS2 genes as key to conversion of precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to bioactive products eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid ((DHA). FADS2 is a promiscuous desaturase enzyme that inserts double bonds at the 4, 6, and 8 positions and acts on at least 16 substrates including numerous saturated fatty acids, while FADS1 is highly specific to 5 desaturation and C20 substrates. FADS gene polymorphisms lead primarily to modulation of circulating arachidonic acid in free living humans, which is likely to influence omega-3 requirements through biochemical competition at many levels. Natural, pre-industrial diets are high in saturated and monounsaturated fats, and supply dietary essential fatty acids at less than 4% of calories. Such diets support endogenous EPA and DHA biosynthesis at relatively robust levels, while diets high in PUFA inhibit EPA/DHA tissue accretion and create a metabolic demand. Recent recommendations focus on gently processed healthy foods rich in shortfall nutrients despite high saturated fat content have been advanced. Dietary intake of EPA and DHA have effects specific to each fatty acid, and both are more efficiently incorporated into tissue than when derived from precursors. Current evidence is that both are required for optimal health.

Full textAbstract:
The gas engine is a very efficient possibility of a technological approach for the conversion of chemically bound energy into mechanical or electrical power. Degrees of efficiency achieved thus far through the electrification of natural gas amount to up to 45% depending on the engine size and further potentials are already being opened up. Gas engines therefore do not need to fear a comparison with diesel engines in terms of efficiency. The modern gas engines have considerable advantages regarding emissions. The state of the art for the NOx emissions of natural gas engines can presently be given as 0.7 g/kWh (diesel 5 g NOx/kWh) with practically particle-free combustion. As a result of these features the gas engine is especially suitable for the very efficient process of cogeneration of heat and power, through which total degrees of fuel efficiency of about 90% can be attained. As such, the gas engine is even superior to all previously introduced types of fuel cells. The utilization of H2-rich gases as fuel can be seen as a new field of application of gas engines. Jenbacher AG already has many years of experience in the field of “H2-rich fuels” with optimization of combustion control and mixture formation. The H2 content extend from 100% to very low caloric values of gases in the range of 1.67 MJ/Nm3. The gases to be utilized by the gas engines come primarily from thermal pyrolysis processes of biomass or RDF fuels. A very good efficiency behavior with uncommonly low NOx emissions can be determined as the common result of all gas engine sizes. In the case of the high NH3 content of e.g. wood gas, despite the extreme lean-burn operation through the primary formation of NOx from the fuel, no NOx minimum can be attained. For the future, making the step into H2-rich fuel technology particularly regarding emissions means a big step towards the low NOx concepts and thus the further reduction of engine emissions.

Bankside supone un claro ejemplo de revitalización urbana puesto que, a pesar de haber sido considerado como una de las zonas más contaminadas de Londres, ha logrado transformarse en un Distrito Cultural mundialmente conocido gracias a la apuesta e inversión en diferentes creaciones artísticas. No sólo se han rehabilitado edificios vacíos y en desuso dando lugar a centros artísticos de suma importancia como es el caso de la conversión de su antigua central eléctrica en lo que ahora se conoce como la Tate Modern –una de las galerías de arte contemporáneo más importantes de Europa–, sino que el arte sale a la calle ilustrando muros, fachadas y dando vida a zonas que aún se encuentran a la espera de su próxima regeneración. La ciudad envuelve al ciudadano/a por completo ofreciendo un Distrito Cultural que se reinventa constantemente dando la posibilidad de que el público no sea un mero espectador, sino de que se sumerja en la historia y cultura del Distrito convirtiéndose a su vez en creador y artista e invitándole a formar parte de las actividades que se desarrollan en diferentes festivales como Merge o el London Design Festival. Muchas de las instalaciones y obras de arte son temporales y/o perecederas. No obstante, algunas de las obras que florecen a lo largo de sus calles y plazas se han ganado su permanencia, tal como sucede con las realizadas alrededor del santuario de the Cross Bones Graveyard.

Full textAbstract:
The long term goal of this study was to reduce caloric and fat content of beef and other red meats by means of genetic modification of the animal such that fat would not be accumulated. This was attempted by introducing into the germ line myogenic regulatory genes that would convert fat tissue to skeletal muscle. We first determined the consequences of ectopic expression of the myogenic regulatory gene MyoD1. It was found that deregulation of MyoD1 did not result in ectopic skeletal muscle formation but rather led to embryonic lethalities, probably due to its role in the control of the cell cycle. This indicated that MyoD1 should be placed under stringent control to allow survival. Embryonic lethalities were also observed when the regulatory elements of the adipose-specific gene adipsin directed the expression of MyoD1 or myogenin cDNAs, suggesting that these sequences are probably not strong enough to confer tissue specificity. To determine the specificity of the control elements of another fat specific gene (adipocyte protein 2-aP2), we fused them to the bacterial b-galactosidase reporter gene and established stable transgenic strains. The expression of the reporter gene in none of the strains was adipose specific. Each strain displayed a unique pattern of expression in various cell lineages. Most exciting results were obtained in a transgenic strain in which cells migrating from the ventro-lateral edge of the dermomyotome of developing somites to populate the limb buds with myoblasts were specifically stained for lacZ. Since the control sequences of the adipsin or aP2 genes did not confer fat specificity in transgenic mice we have taken both molecular and genetic approaches as an initial effort to identify genes important in the conversion of a multipotential cell such as C3H10T1/2 cell to adipoblast. Several novel adipocyte cell lines have been established that differ in the expression of transcription factors of the C/EBP family known to be markers for adipocyte differentiation. These studies revealed that one of the genetic programming changes which occur during 10T1/2 conversion from multipotential cell to a committed adipoblast is the ability to linduce C/EBPa gene expression. It is expected that further analysis of this gene would identify elements which regulate this lineage-specific expression. Such elements might be good candidates in future attempts to convert adipoblasts to skeletal muscle cells in vivo.
