IntroductionEating disorders (EDs) are serious psychological problems that affect not only the individual, but also their entire environment.The prevalence rates of EDs are higher among the adolescent population.A better understanding of ED risk factors is essential to design effective prevention and intervention programs that focus beyond the area
Evolutionary constraints permeate large metabolic networks
Abstract Background Metabolic networks show great evolutionary plasticity, because they can differ substantially even among closely related prokaryotes.Any one metabolic network can also effectively compensate for the blockage of individual reactions by rerouting metabolic flux through other pathways.These observations, together with the continual
Viscoelastic circular cell honeycomb helmet liners for reducing head rotation and brain strain in oblique impacts
Rotational head motion is one of the major contributors to brain tissue strain during head impacts, which damages axons and vessels Medium Weight and leads to traumatic brain injury.Helmet technologies have come to market promising enhanced protection against such rotational head motion.We recently introduced novel air-filled viscoelastic cell arra
Health risks in tropical climate agriculture: a set of case studies of sugarcane workers
The objective of this work was to investigate on Oven Parts safety and health risks to which tropical agricultural workers are exposed, mainly in relation to heat stress and ergonomic evaluation.In total, five workers from the sugarcane industry were assessed through the Life Quality Questionnaire (SF-36), and four through measuring their body comp
