Associations of anthropogenic activity and tributaries with the physicochemical, nutrient and microbial composition of the Ganga (Ganges) River, India.

The Ganga River (known internationally as the Ganges) is one of the world's most prominent rivers, running from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal and supporting the livelihoods of > 40 % of India's 1.4 billion population. The Ganga River is regionally and globally important, supporting agriculture and industry, yet faces potentially detrimental water quality challenges arising from runoff and discharge from increasing urbanization, industry and agriculture.

Impact of out-of-home nutrition labelling on people with eating disorders: a systematic review and meta-synthesis.

Objectives: Mandatory nutrition labels for out-of-home food consumption have been introduced in several countries to curb rising obesity levels. However, concerns have been raised about the potential negative impacts of such policies on individuals with eating disorders. This review aimed to summarise the literature on the impact of out-of-home nutrition labels on individuals with eating disorders or disordered eating.

Attentional Processing Biases in Young People With Binging and Purging Behavior.

Objective: Binging and purging are transdiagnostic features of eating disorders (EDs). Attentional biases (ABs) toward food and body shape cues and negative affect (NA) are associated with ED psychopathology. These ABs might also be present in people with subthreshold ED not meeting full diagnostic criteria.

Oxytocin Amplifies Negative Response to Ambiguity in Adolescent Females With and Without Eating Disorders.

Objective: Eating disorders (ED) typically emerge in adolescence, a critical period for brain development and peer bonding. Interpersonal difficulties-particularly social anxiety-frequently co-occur with ED. Oxytocin is a neuropeptide that modulates social cognition and linked to prosocial effects.

Building epsilon near zero materials from layered uniaxial metamaterials.

Recently, there has been an explosion of activity in the fields of optics and photonics with the advent of fabrication techniques which enable the design of metamaterials which possess properties not encountered in the natural world. In this work, we are concerned with zero permittivity materials and a new scheme to design metamaterials for which all components of the dielectric tensor are approximately zero. Our approach involves the alternate layering of many, very thin, slices of two constituent metamaterials, a uniaxial layered medium and a uniaxial nanowire array.
