Dietary trans fatty acids and serum lipoproteins in humans.
No full textDietary trans-fatty acids and serum lipoproteins in humans. Zock PL, Mensink RP. Wageningen Agricultural University, The Netherlands. Trans-fatty acids increase serum LDL-cholesterol and decrease HDL-cholesterol levels in humans when substituted for cis unsaturated fatty acids in the diet. Trans-fatty acids also increase lipoprotein (a) levels relative to other fatty acids. The effects on LDL and HDL may be mediated by the cholesteryl ester transfer protein
Effects of fats and fatty acids on blood lipids in humans: an overview.
No full textEffects of fats and fatty acids on blood lipids in humans: an overview. Katan MB, Zock PL, Mensink RP. Department of Human Nutrition, Wageningen Agricultural University, Netherlands. Differences in dietary fatty acid structure induce marked differences in lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in plasma from fasting subjects. Under metabolic-ward conditions, replacement of carbohydrates by lauric, myristic, and palmitic acids raise both low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol whereas stearic acid has little effect. Oleic and linoleic acids raise HDL and slightly lower LDL; all fatty acids lower fasting triglycerides when substituted for carbohydrates. Trans monounsaturates lower HDL and raise LDL and lipoprotein(a). The fatty acids in unhydrogenated fish oil potently lower triglycerides, with variable effects on LDL. Of the commercial fats, palm-kernel and coconut oil are the most hypercholesterolemic, followed by butter and palm oil. Replacement of hard fats rich in lauric, myristic, or palmitic acids or trans fatty acids by unsaturated oils will lower LDL, but replacement by carbohydrates will in addition decrease HDL and increase triglycerides. In free-living subjects, high-oil diets could lead to obesity, undoing the favorable effects on HDL and triglyceride
Underestimation of energy intake by 3-d records compared with energy intake to maintain body weight in 269 nonobese adults.
No full textUnderestimation of energy intake by 3-d records compared with energy intake to maintain body weight in 269 nonobese adults. de Vries JH, Zock PL, Mensink RP, Katan MB. Department of Human Nutrition, Wageningen Agricultural University, Netherlands. We assessed how accurately participants in dietary trials reported their free-living energy intake. We compared self-reported energy intake, calculated from 3-d food records, with actual intakes needed to maintain body weight during controlled trials lasting 6-9 wk. In 269 free-living healthy male (n = 119) and female (n = 150) adults with mean body weights close to ideal values (mean +/- SD body mass index in kg/m2, 22.1 +/- 2.4), energy intake reported in food records was 1.2 +/- 1.6 MJ/d (277 +/- 378 kcal/d) lower than actual energy requirements during the experiments. The relative bias was significantly smaller (P = 0.01) for men (-8.0 +/- 13.4%) than for women (-12.2 +/- 13.7%). Body mass index, daily energy intake, and age were not significantly related to the extent of underestimation. We conclude that food records systematically underestimate energy needs in young, nonobese well-educated adult
The FM and PL Libraries Documentation
No full textBuilding complex SPMD code in an ecient and portable way is nowadays a challenge, especially when there is no uniformity of tools and libraries across platforms. The Fast Messages (FM) and the Portability Library (PL) where both designed to provide the basis of an abstract enough framework for C, so that problems can be coded and ported to any supported platform with no more than a few changes in the makeles and a recompilation. The FM library provides a message passing communications library built around the Berkeley Active Messages library. The PL library provides the primitives for host to node communication for problem initialization and results collection, as well as other miscellaneous and potentially non-portable primitives. This technical report contains the documentation for both libraries.Technical report LCSR-TR-25

Introduction to Urban Science: Evidence and Theory of Cities as Complex Systems
No full textLuís Bettencourt provides a timely, comprehensive, and rigorous treatment of urban space, by contributing to the
advancement of knowledge in the field of urban science. The author develops a valuable scientific guide for researchers,
policymakers, practitioners, and students interested in understanding cities as complex systems. Today, more than half of
world's population lives in urban areas, and, according to theWorld Bank data, by 2045, urban citizens will increase up to
6 billion. Cities of different sizes will play a pivotal role in the postpandemic recovery and, most importantly, they will
make the green transition of our economies and societies really work in coming years. Therefore, understanding “how
each city and every one of its people is the result of the aggregation of many choices, accidents, and influences from
their compounded joint history” (p. xxi) becomes crucial to manage present and future local and global challenges
MultiEmo: Multilingual, Multilevel, Multidomain Sentiment Analysis Corpus of Consumer Reviews
No full textMultiEmo, a new benchmark data set for the multilingual sentiment analysis task including 11 languages. The collection contains consumer reviews from four domains: medicine, hotels, products and university. The original reviews in Polish contained 8,216 documents consisting of 57,466 sentences. The reviews were manually annotated with sentiment at the level of the whole document and at the level of a sentence (3 annotators per element). We achieved a high Positive Specific Agreement value of 0.91 for texts and 0.88 for sentences. The collection was then translated automatically into English, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Portuguese.

The chain-level intersection product for PL pseudomanifolds revisited
No full textAbstract We generalize the PL intersection product for chains on PL manifolds and for intersection chains on PL stratified pseudomanifolds to products of locally finite chains on non-compact spaces that are natural with respect to restriction to open sets. This is necessary to sheafify the intersection product, an essential step in proving duality between the Goresky-MacPherson intersection homology product and the intersection cohomology cup product pairing recently defined by the author and McClure. We also provide a correction to the Goresky-MacPherson proof of a version of Poincaré duality on pseudomanifolds that is used in the construction of the intersection product

Laplacian PL Image Evaluation Implying Correction of Photon Scattering in the Luminescence Detector
No full textAbstractPhotoluminescence (PL) imaging is an established characterization method for investigating local inhomogeneities in solar cells. Conventional evaluation methods are based on the model of independent diodes, leading to wrong results of the local saturation current density J01. The Laplacian-based PL evaluation method does not rely on this model and has the potential to image J01 correctly. First attempts for using this method to evaluate PL images failed. In this contribution it is shown that the main reason for this failure was due to the light scattering effect occurring in the luminescence detector. Implying an image deconvolution procedure to the PL images with the correct point spread function, the result of the Laplacian-based evaluation method nearly shows the correct J01 distribution. It will be shown that the Laplacian-based method has also the potential to image the different dark current contributions (J01, J02 and ohmic) separately, as DLIT can do it already now
