DNA sequence information underpins genetic research, enabling discoveries of important
biological or medical benefit. Sequencing projects have traditionally used long (400–800
base pair) reads, but the existence of reference sequences for the human and many other …

The simultaneous increases in obesity in almost all countries seem to be driven mainly by
changes in the global food system, which is producing more processed, affordable, and
effectively marketed food than ever before. This passive overconsumption of energy leading …

Obesity interventions can result in weight loss, but accurate prediction of the bodyweight
time course requires properly accounting for dynamic energy imbalances. In this report, we
describe a mathematical modelling approach to adult human metabolism that simulates …

Food waste contributes to excess consumption of freshwater and fossil fuels which, along
with methane and CO2 emissions from decomposing food, impacts global climate change.
Here, we calculate the energy content of nationwide food waste from the difference between …

The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has risen substantially worldwide in
less than one generation. In the USA, the average weight of a child has risen by more than 5
kg within three decades, to a point where a third of the country's children are overweight or …

This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Synthesis of Homonuclear Complexes
Characterization of Gold Cluster Compounds Bonding in Cluster Compounds of Gold
Chemical and Structural Aspects of Heteronuclear Clusters Containing AuPR3 Fragments …

Monogenic diseases are frequent causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality, and disease
presentations are often undifferentiated at birth. More than 3500 monogenic diseases have
been characterized, but clinical testing is available for only some of them and many feature …

A fundamental principle of nutrition and metabolism is that body weight change is
associated with an imbalance between the energy content of food eaten and energy
expended by the body to maintain life and to perform physical work. Such an energy …

Lithoprobe deep seismic reflection data from the northwestern Canadian Shield provide
images of structures to the base of the lithosphere between the Archean Slave Province on
the east and the Cordillera on the west. Mantle reflections dip eastward from the lower crust …

Many geomorphological studies have ignored the role of thermal stress fatigue. Engineers
have long maintained that thermal stress is an effective process. Physicists and the ceramics
industry have provided a theoretical foundation to explain the nature and mode of operation …
