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. …”

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. …”

High cycle fatigue characterisation and modelling of 316L stainless steel processed by laser powder bed fusion by Zhang, Meng

“…Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that uses high power lasers to selectively melt metal powders in a layerwise manner. It introduces unique process-structure-property relationships, understanding of which is essential for producing structural parts with consistent acceptable properties. …”

Mechanism of an arched basilar membrane in mammalian cochlea by Chan, Wei Xuan

“…The present ultrasonic bonding method using a thin film of thermoplastic-elastomeric composite is a simple process which provides better flow control by restricting melted thermoplastic with elastomer. The theoretical analysis of the energy absorption and distribution in the thin film composite provides a guideline for selection of thermoplastic and elastomer as well as estimation of the power required for ultrasonic bonding of the film composite. …”
