ROSMOSE: A Web-based Optimization Tool to Aid Decision-making for the Design and Operation of Industrial and Urban Energy Systems

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos, Cédric Terrier, Michel Lopez

Energy efficiency is crucial for the sustainable operation of all industrial and urban sectors. However, practicing engineers have seldom access to open-source tools that can readily evaluate and compare scenarios in terms of energy consumption, cost, and ...

The Effects of Time-Restricted Eating versus Standard Dietary Advice on Weight, Metabolic Health and the Consumption of Processed Food: A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial in Community-Based Adults

Felix Naef, Nicholas Edward Phillips

Weight loss is key to controlling the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components, i.e., central obesity, hypertension, prediabetes and dyslipidaemia. The goals of our study were two-fold. First, we characterised the relationships b ...

Shooting shots: Estimating alcoholic drink sizes in real life using event-level reports and annotations of close-up pictures

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Thanh Trung Phan

Introduction and Aims Drinks consumed in real life are diverse, in terms of beverage type, container size and alcohol by volume. To date, most ecological momentary assessment studies have assessed drinking amounts with 'standard' drinks, although their eve ...

Capturing drinking and nightlife behaviours and their social and physical context with a smartphone application - investigation of users' experience and reactivity

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Darshan Santani

Background: Many addictive behaviours are influenced by the context in which they occur, but methods for simultaneously capturing the characteristics of a behaviour and its context are scarce. This study describes a smartphone application developed to docu ...

Understanding Eating And Drinking In Context From Crowdsourced Data

Thanh Trung Phan

With the increasing rate of urbanization, understanding food and beverage consumption, including alcohol drinking behaviour with its consequences, is relevant in such a megacity in the future. Especially, investigation of alcohol drinking is necessary for ...

After how many drinks does someone experience acute consequences-determining thresholds for binge drinking based on two event-level studies: Optimal thresholds for binge drinking

Background and Aims: The threshold of 4+/5+ drinks per occasion has been used for decades in alcohol research to distinguish between non risky versus risky episodic drinking. However, no study has assessed the validity of this threshold using event level d ...

Detecting overlapping spatial clusters of high sugar-sweetened beverage intake and high body mass index in a general population: a cross-sectional study

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder, Beatrice Bacchilega

Background: Evidence suggests that sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake frequency is positively associated with the risk of obesity and diabetes. We aimed to identify populations and areas in high need for interventions to reduce SSB consumption using a f ...

Selective detection of Al3+ and citric acid with a fluorescent amphiphile

Kay Severin, Ziya Köstereli

An amphiphilic fluorescent dye with a disulfonated BODIPY head group and a heptadecyl side chain is described. In buffered aqueous solution, the amphiphile can form aggregates with a critical micelle concentration of similar to 20 mu M. The aggregation of ...

Effect of accelerated carbonation on AOD stainless steel slag for its valorisation as a CO2-sequestering construction material

Muhammad Salman, Ruben Anton Snellings

Non-stabilized Argon Oxygen Decarburisation (AODNS) slag in powdered form was examined for its carbon dioxide sequestration capacity and for its potential utilisation in the fabrication of high value building materials. The curing of the sample was carried ...

Electrochemical Pseudo-Titration of Water-Soluble Antioxidants

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Alice Adei Neequaye

An amperometric test for the antioxidant power (AOP) of biological and food samples is presented. The gist of the method is to measure by linear sweep voltammetry the anodic current produced during the oxidation of the labile species present in the sample ...

Modelling occupants’ personal characteristics for thermal comfort prediction

Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi

Based on results from a field survey campaign conducted in Switzerand, we show that occupants’ variations in clothing choices, which are relatively unconstrained, are best described by the daily mean outdoor temperature and that major clothing adjustments ...
