Menu labeling of prepared meals away from home is a policy designed to help consumers make healthier food choices. In this paper, we use a field experiment to analyze if a restaurant benefits from introducing a healthy labeled meal on its menu by experiencing an overall increase in sales. We cannot reject the hypothesis that sales are the same before and after the introduction of a healthy labeled

Various aspects of the strong interaction are considered. Correlation effects in the hadronization process in a string model are studied. A discrete approximation scheme to the perturbative QCD cascade in e⁺ e^- annihilation is formulated. The model, Discrete QCD, predicts a rather low phase space density of "effectlve gluons". This is related to the properties of the runnin

Insulin resistance is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes, an increasingly common disorder. The cause of insulin resistance is supposedly failures in the processes used by insulin to signal to the interior of its target cells. These failing steps are still unknown, most probably because of incomplete knowledge of how the insulin signals are transmitted. Since insulin resistance is strongly linked to obe

Let {Xt} be a Lévy process which is reflected at 0 and K>0. The reflected process {VtK} is constructed as VtK = V0K + Xt + Lt0 - LtK where{Lt0} and {LtK} are the local times at 0 and K, respectively. We consider the loss rate lK, defined by lK=E KL1K where E K is the expectation under the stationary measure K. The main result of the paper is the identification of lK in terms of K and the character

The authors sought to non-invasively defect changes in atrial fibrillation rhythm during autonomic provocative maneuvers. Digital Holter from 23 patients with chronic AF before and after active postural change were subjected to routine editing, and then underwent QRS and T wave subtraction, leaving pure atrial fibrillatory records. Spectral analysis by autoregressive method was performed on this r

We have proposed an echo localization estimator which theoretically gives infinite resolution in the axial direction in ultrasonic B-mode images during 1) echo structure tracking and 2) distance measurements of distinct echoes. The performance of the estimator was evaluated using a HDI5000 (Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, WA, USA) with a 35 mm 5-12 MHz linear array transducer. The resulting pixe

A suturing including knot tying is one of the more difficult operations to learn in telesurgical systems. Apprentice surgeons commonly suffer from suture breakage or knot failure. The difficulty, generally, comes from the absence of feedback of interaction force cues in a medical device (e.g., a needle and a thread) . Even if there is haptic feedback to the operator, the operator may have a diffic

The trend within fluid industry is towards continuous production, leading to an increasing demand for new and improved methods that allow real-time monitoring of quality parameters and fast process control. The consistency and viscosity can be described by fluid rheology and are frequently used as quality control parameters. Rheological properties can be correlated with product microstructure, the

Nonlinear and Hybrid Systems in Automotive Control will enable researchers, control engineers and automotive engineers to understand the engine and whole-vehicle models necessary for control. A new generation of control strategies has become necessary because of the increasingly rigorous requirements of vehicle and engine control systems for accuracy, ride comfort, safety, complexity, functionalit
