Article Abstract

Objective: To compare the difference between self-reported and calculated daily energy requirements of adults within different body mass index (BMI) categories.

Methods: Adults (n = 978) self-reported daily energy requirements, demographic information, and height, weight, age, and physical activity level (PAL) to calculate total energy expenditure.

Results: The main effects of BMI, gender, PAL, and dieting status on the difference between self-reported and calculated energy requirements for weight maintenance were significant (P < .05); age, race/ethnicity, level of education, and being in a health-related field had no effect. Individuals across all BMI categories underestimated their energy requirements, but obese individuals underestimated to the greatest degree. Males, current dieters, and those who reported a low-active or active PAL underestimated to the greatest extent in each category.

Conclusions And Implications: There is a lack of basic nutrition knowledge about personal energy needs in individuals across all BMI categories regardless of age, race/ethnicity, level of education, or work/training in a health-related field.

Resonant three-photon ionization spectroscopy has been used to study the late 4d and 5d transition metal carbides RuC, RhC, OsC, IrC, and PtC. These species, like most diatomic transition metals with open nd subshells, exhibit an exceptionally high density of states near the ground separated atom limit. Spin-orbit and nonadiabatic interactions provide a means for the molecules to rapidly dissociate as soon as the bond dissociation energy (BDE) is exceeded.

Rational Design and Applications of Ultrasmall Gold Nanoparticles.

Top Curr Chem (Cham)

Center for Advanced Materials Research, Research Institute of Sciences and Engineering, University of Sharjah, 27272, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.

Controlling the size of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been critical in diagnostics, biomolecular sensing, targeted therapy, wastewater treatment, catalysis, and sensing applications. Ultrasmall AuNPs (uAuNPs), with sizes Ranging from 2 to 5 nm, and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), with sizes less than 2 nm, are often dealt with interchangeably in the literature, making it challenging to review them separately. Although they are grouped in our discussion, their chemical and physical properties differ significantly, partly due to their electronic properties.

Constructing heterogeneous dual-site catalysts is anticipated for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, compared to the adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), the triggering oxide pathway mechanism (OPM) for catalysts poses challenges due to elusive structural evolution and low intrinsic activity. Herein, considering the distinct adsorption propensity of heterogeneous Ni-Fe sites toward differential intermediates (OH-O), the PO-induced deep reconstruction triggers a dual-site Ni-Fe discrepant oxide pathway mechanism (DOPM) for R-PO-NiCoFeOOH.

Osteoporosis is a common condition, and treatment can reduce the risk of fracture and extend healthy life expectancy, but most cases go undiagnosed and untreated. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis, is costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, with limited availability in low-resource settings and small clinics, so it is not suitable for screening for potential osteoporosis. To address this problem, in recent years, some studies have attempted to screen for osteoporosis by estimating DXA bone mineral density (BMD) from chest radiographs (CR), which are frequently used in daily clinical practice, by applying deep learning technology.
