The international study of childhood obesity, lifestyle and the environment (ISCOLE) : design and methods
No full textDiscussion: The results of this study will provide a robust examination of the correlates of adiposity and obesity in children, focusing on both sides of the energy balance equation. The results will also provide important new information that will inform the development of lifestyle, environmental, and policy interventions to address and prevent childhood obesity that may be culturally adapted for implementation around the world. ISCOLE represents a multi-national collaboration among all world regions, and represents a global effort to increase research understanding, capacity and infrastructure in childhood obesity.
Wastewater remediation with modified chitin derivative
No full textHowever, uptake for Cu(II) and Cd(II) decreased at 37 C due to enhanced sulfide oxidation in ETB. Overall, 0.1 M HCl was the most effective eluent to regenerate spent ETB. Sulfuric acid was not suitable to desorb ETB possibly due to exhaustion of amine groups. Decrease in Pb(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) uptake may be due to acid decomposition and oxidation of S functional groups. Addition of thiourea in HCl eluent alleviated the decrease of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) uptake. However, the enhanced S decomposition with increasing number of HCl desorption process progressively enhanced the uptake of Cu(II). The elucidation of mechanism of chitosan thiolation has potentially eliminated the unnecessary use of crosslinking agents to specifically improve bead stability. The enhance stability of ETB in acidic condition as well as increased sorption uptake for soft Lewis acids shows that ETB has great potentials for use in selective recovery of precious metals (Au(III), Ag(I), Pd(II), Pt(IV), etc) from mining and electroplating wastewater. These materials may have great potential in simultaneous remediation of inorganic pollutants from wastewater.
