This transitional period is characterized by changes in dietary habits, stress and mealtime behaviors [2-5]. Additionally, emerging adults often lack resources and skills required for food preparation. These factors contribute to their increased risk for food insecurity [6,7]. Dietary habits that are consistent with the national dietary guidelines have been found to promote health, but college students do not meet these guidelines [8-10]. Studies have reported that college students have poor dietary habits and they do not meet their recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetable [9,11,12]. One study that examined the relationship between food insecurity and fruit and vegetable intake among college students found that food insecure students ate significantly lower daily servings of fruit and vegetable as compared to students with high food security controlling for confounding factors such as car access, race/ethnicity and gender [13]. College students also skip meals, consume high amounts of snacks and high calorie food items such as sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) [14,15]. Furthermore, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHNES) data indicate that young adults age category in which most college students fall under, have the highest mean percentage of daily calories from SSB [16].","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49544538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This complex information is a result of accelerometers, magnetometers and gyroscopes and is processed with an advanced algorithm to provide Inertial Movement Analysis (IMA). This technology may also calculate the magnitude and the direction of an agility action, classifying events within intensity and direction. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the physical profile of elite young tennis players focusing in the “IMA” patterns. Twenty female young high-level tennis players took part in the study (14.3 age ± 0.8 years). All tennis players were tracked at least in two matches-play (n=62) on hard court. Twelve Portable GPS devices (Minimax X S4, Catapult Innovations) operating at a sampling frequency of 10 Hz were used to collect velocity data. The GPS unit contains a tri-axial piezoelectric linear accelerometer (Kionix: KXP94) sampling at a frequency of 100 Hz. The most common axis of movement was the vertical (V_axis:39.3 ±1.9%). On the other hand, lateral displacement were the most common movements of tennis players (right:6.4±1.2 effort· min 1; left:6.3±1. effort· min 1). Furthermore, low accelerations were the most common acceleration pattern in tennis (low accelerations: 7.4±2.3 effort·min-1), whereas, the high intensity accelerations (>1.0 m·s-2) were the less frequent (high accelerations: 5.1±1.6 effort·min-1). Therefore, further literature should focus on “IMA” patterns to improve tennis players’ performance. .","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48546326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study therefore analyzed and compared the technical efficiencies of sole maize and maize/melon intercrop farmers in Osun State with a view of determining the factors that influences it. Purposive sampling was used to select 47 respondents each for sole maize and maize/melon intercrop system. Stochastic frontier production function was used to estimate the technical efficiencies. The study revealed that the mean technical efficiency of maize/melon intercrop farmers was higher than that of the sole maize farmers. Costs of land, labor and implement were the factors affecting the sole maize farmers’ efficiency, while the maize/melon intercrop farmers’ efficiency was significantly determined by costs of land, labor and capital. No significant factor determines inefficiency for sole maize farmers. However, land security and extension visit were the major significant inefficiency factors found out to reduce the inefficiencies of maize/ melon intercrop farmers in the study area. It is recommended that famers in the study area should venture into the intercropping of maize and melon more than sole maize cropping; government should strengthen land security and give adequate motivation to extension agents to visit farmers more in order to increase their technical efficiencies.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45371989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having the intrinsic property of sensing the surface properties, SPR have already received tremendous attention in the field of biomedical, Nano sensors, photovoltaics etc. Scientific data have also revealed that it is also highly characterized by the structure, type and dimension of the host nanoparticles, which eventually can lead us to a systematic correlation between different physical attributes of the host nanoparticles and SPR. In this work, we try to make a simplistic approach of correlating size, shape of gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) with their corresponding peak wavelength. It has also been attempted to bring the concentrations in the same frame. The computed results and the observed results are compared and matching up to a considerable extent has been shown in this work. It is envisioned that this small-scale correlation will help in giving a first insight towards characterization of Au and AgNPs just based only on SPR peak.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47362002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper considers the problem of estimating distributed parameters representing properties of material that change over the spatial domain. In this case the parameters are represented by non-smooth functions. Moreover, the data may be affected by noise containing outliers that cannot be easily removed. In all these cases a great improvement in the solution can be obtained by solving a minimization problem in the $p$ norm where 0 p < < ∞ . When the norm $p=2$ is used, then the regularized nonlinear least squares problem can be efficiently solved by the Iterative Gauss Newton (IRGN) method as reported in [1,2] and references therein. The case 1 p < < ∞ is efficiently treated by the Iterative Reweighted Algorithm IRLS proposed in [3] for linear problems. We propose here a direct extension of such algorithm to the solution of non linear problems where 0 p < < ∞ . The non linear least squares and possibly non convex problem is substituted by a sequence of weighted least squares approximations which efficiently solve the non linear identification problem. The algorithm, named NL-LM-IRLS, is presented as an extension of the IRLS applied to the non linear minimization problem. Some preliminary results on one dimension identification problems are reported confirming the validity of this approach. In section 2 we explain the details of the iterative method and report the numerical experiments in section 3. ( ) ( ) 0 0 r F q y = − for k=0 , 1 , ..... r0 = F(q(0)) y for k = 0, 2,...

Where should we go after dying? Who am I? When did the universe begin? How big is it? Will it end? Does the universe operate according to some laws or randomly? These and many other similar questions have been explored since very ancient times by many people including scientists, philosophers, religionists, and many theories have been proposed [1-3]. Today, the consensus among scientists, astronomers and cosmologists is the Big Bang Theory also known as the Big-Bang Cosmological Model (BBCM) [3,4]. The basics of the Big Bang theory are simple. In short, the Big Bang hypothesis states that all the current and past matter in the Universe came into existence at the same time, roughly 15 billion years ago. At this time, all matter was compacted into a very small ball with infinite density and intense heat called a Singularity. Suddenly, the Singularity began expanding, and the universe as we know it began [4]. This model has been confronted to a variety of observations that allow one to reconstruct its expansion history, its thermal history and the structuration of matter. Hence, what we refer to as the BBCM today is radically different from what one may have had in mind a century ago. Even the latest version of BBCM still suffers a lot of challenges [5]. Many paradoxes are related to the use of this model [6]. Burago pointed out that at least two obvious questions exist in the Big-Bang model [7]. The first question remained as to how the matter and energy were in this superdense elementary particle? It is considered incorrect to ask, what was around this particle before the explosion and whether the universe does expand? Because space and time in the universe also arose as a result of the Big Bang. It is assumed that protons, neutrons, positrons, electrons and other longlived elementary particles formed 15 billion years ago and have reached our days unchanged. The second question arose from the insolvency of ideas about the explosion of a kind of “cosmic egg”, which was the explosion of the largest nuclear bomb. This point of view boils down to the assertion that “space” exploded, and not a material object. At the same time, the authors of this idea do not bother explaining what they think is a “space” and what can explode in an empty space? Therefore, many people are still working on the improvement of the Big-Bang model or the construction of other totally new cosmological models [3].","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45601690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Natural mycotoxin contaminations of the most important plant grains and commodities have been reported during the recent decade. In 2013 more than 90% of wheat samples collected at harvest time in Ardabil province was contaminated to deoxynivalenol, with the average amount of 1.7μgg -1 . Wheat, barley, maize, and rice were tested for zearalenone contamination but generally, contaminations were below than 200μgkg -1 . Fumonisin contamination was reported in many research and maize is one of the most contaminated cereals to fumonisin, in some maize samples 10μgg -1 of this carcinogenic compound was detected. Aflatoxins, the most thoroughly studied and the best understood of mycotoxins have occurred in foodstuffs commonly all over the world. Tree nuts, particularly pistachio nuts, are highly susceptible to contamination by aflatoxins, 32% of the 122 isolates of A. flavus isolates from pistachios, produce more than 2μgkg -1 aflatoxins, also aflatoxin contamination also was detected in fig, almond, and hazelnut. Cereals could also be contaminated to aflatoxins and sometimes 100% of samples were contaminated to aflatoxins. AFB1 was detected in 43.6% of maize samples, in which only 22.5% were contaminated to higher than MRL level. Barley, grape, raisin, and coffee are the major commodity that could contaminate to ochratoxin A; heavy contamination of raisin was reported in damaged raisin sample in Iran.
