The next-generation magnetic recoil spectrometer (MRSnext) is being designed to replace the current MRS at the National Ignition Facility and OMEGA for measurements of the neutron spectrum from an inertial confinement fusion implosion. The MRSnext will provide a far-superior performance and faster data turnaround than the current MRS systems, i.e.

Objective: To examine associations between changes in per capita county-level restaurant advertising spending over time and changes in objectively measured body mass index (BMI) for adult patients.
Objective: To compare the nutritional quality of children's combination meals offered at large US chain restaurants characterised by three versions - default (advertised), minimum (lower-energy) and maximum (higher-energy).
Design: We identified default children's meals (n 92) from online restaurant menus, then constructed minimum and maximum versions using realistic additions, substitutions and/or portion size changes for existing menu items. Nutrition data were obtained from the MenuStat database.
Article Synopsis
- The USDA's SNAP program is a crucial support system for low-income Americans, aiding around 40 million people each month, with a significant portion being children.
- The review outlines a framework that highlights how SNAP impacts public health by influencing food security, diet quality, and health outcomes for participants.
- It also discusses key policy areas for improvement, focusing on food production and distribution, benefit allocation, and eligibility/enrollment, while suggesting evidence-based changes and emphasizing the need for further research.
Background: Early care and education (ECE) settings represent an important point of intervention for childhood obesity prevention efforts. The objective of this paper was to compare ECE licensing regulations for each Canadian province/territory to evidence-based, obesity prevention standards.
Methods: Two authors reviewed existing ECE regulations for each province/territory and examined whether the regulatory text supported standards for nutrition (n = 11), physical activity (n = 5) and screen time (n = 4).
