Motivation: Across biology, we are seeing rapid developments in scale of data production without a corresponding increase in data analysis capabilities.

Results: Here, we present Aether (http://aether.kosticlab.org), an intuitive, easy-to-use, cost-effective and scalable framework that uses linear programming to optimally bid on and deploy combinations of underutilized cloud computing resources. Our approach simultaneously minimizes the cost of data analysis and provides an easy transition from users' existing HPC pipelines.

Availability And Implementation: Data utilized are available at https://pubs.broadinstitute.org/diabimmune and with EBI SRA accession ERP005989. Source code is available at (https://github.com/kosticlab/aether). Examples, documentation and a tutorial are available at http://aether.kosticlab.org.

Supplementary Information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Exploring Nutrient-Adequate Sustainable Diet Scenarios That Are Plant-Based but Animal-Optimized.

Nutrients

January 2025

Nederlandse Zuivel Organisatie (NZO), 2596 BC The Hague, The Netherlands.

: Transitions toward more sustainable food systems may become rather polarized, particularly in the plant-based vs. animal-based debate. These discussions, however, are often based on environmental impact data from individual products or product groups and do not consider that the products together should form a nutrient-adequate diet that is also affordable.

Physical Activity (PA) provides numerous biological and psychological benefits, especially for cancer patients. PA mitigates treatment side effects, influences hormones, inflammation, adiposity, and immune function, and reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue. This study evaluates the impact of PA on these positive outcomes.

Background: FAO/WHO introduced food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) to promote healthy dietary habits. To translate the FBDG, optimized food-based recommendations (FBR) can be developed using linear programming (LP) to address problem nutrients. Despite the importance of local-specific FBR for anemia prevention, no study has reported the effect of nutrition education which promoted FBR in adolescent girls.

In estimating the average treatment effect in observational studies, the influence of confounders should be appropriately addressed. To this end, the propensity score is widely used. If the propensity scores are known for all the subjects, bias due to confounders can be adjusted by using the inverse probability weighting (IPW) by the propensity score.
