Understanding the justifications for food policies through political theory: a method for public policy analysis by Thomas, O

“…These include: the vending machine ban in schools in France; the front-of-pack labelling law in Chile; the various taxes and tariffs on sugar in a number of Pacific Island countries; the sugar-related information campaigns in New York City; and finally, the new restrictions on the placement of high-in fat, salt and sugar foods in supermarkets in the UK. Following the development of a revised method of <em>engaged philosophy</em>, I analysed these different case studies through the political theories of Perfectionism, Liberalism and Communitarianism. …”

Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 98

“…</p> <p>Since the pre-salt discoveries in Brazil – which are underway to reach their first production milestone – were first announced in 2007, a new wave of diverse potential opportunities has emerged. …”

Production risk and technical efficiency of Thai Koi (Anabas testudineus Bloch) farming in some selected areas of Bangladesh by Sarker, Md. Al Amin

“…The estimated risk functions showed that the zeolite and pesticide are risk-reducing, while labor, feed, fingerlings and salt appeared to be riskincreasing inputs. Results of the inefficiency model indicated that labor and pond area significantly reduced the TIE. …”

Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…The syntheses and characterisation of the hydrido- ((<b>1-Dipp</b>)EH) and phosphaketenyl-tetrelenes ((1-Dipp)E(PCO)) via salt metathesis are reported, and the photochemistry of (<b>1-Dipp</b>)Ge(PCO) subsequently explored. …”

PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…This is actually the opposite of what is happening: institutions are smothering the initiative of the few entrepreneurs and social activists and bringing everything to a halt, thereby dampening dynamism, blocking social transformation and encumbering the system overall. …”

Characterisation of transport and thermodynamic properties for various binary electrolytes by Hou, T

“…During the operation of a battery, an applied current introduces a concentration profile of salt within the electrolyte, whose shape is controlled by transport and thermodynamic properties of its constituent species. …”

Surface engineering to manipulate solar energy for thermal management by Fei, Jipeng

“…Herein, we functionalized Ti3C2 MXene material as a broadband and high efficiency photothermal converter, which combines with a stable hierarchical porous organic membrane to realize ~50 ℃ surface temperature, 92.1% solar-to-steam efficiency under 1 Sun illumination, and 97.5% salt rejection rate, leading to efficient water harvesting/purification/desalination. …”
