Models of hydration and nutrition require environmental data.

Public Health Nutr

Cooperative Studies Program, Department of Veterans Affairs, West Haven, CT, USA.

Published: April 2020

Objective: To recognize the causality of environmental factors (i.e. temperature, humidity and sun exposure) on nutritional variables, specifically body water balance and water-seeking behaviour.

Design: Author perspective.

Setting: Global.

Participants: Not applicable.

Results: A free-standing code supplement is provided to facilitate investigators in accessing meteorological data for incorporation into analyses related to nutrition and hydration.

Conclusions: Analytical models related to human hydration should account for the environment de rigueur.

Extending the MST Model to Large Biomolecular Systems: Parametrization of the ddCOSMO-MST Continuum Solvation Model.

J Comput Chem

January 2025

Continuum solvation models such as the polarizable continuum model and the conductor-like screening model are widely used in quantum chemistry, but their application to large biosystems is hampered by their computational cost. Here, we report the parametrization of the Miertus-Scrocco-Tomasi (MST) model for the prediction of hydration free energies of neutral and ionic molecules based on the domain decomposition formulation of COSMO (ddCOSMO), which allows a drastic reduction of the computational cost by several orders of magnitude. We also introduce several novelties in MST, like a new definition of atom types based on hybridization and an automatic setup of the cavity for charged regions.

Magnesium slag is a by-product of the magnesium industry. As an auxiliary cementitious material incorporated into concrete, it can make full use of waste resources and has a certain potential for hydration and carbonation. To improve the mechanical properties of the concrete, the influence mechanism and strengthening mechanism of the carbon curing method on mechanical properties of magnesium slag concrete were investigated.

Temperature-induced cracks during the construction of large concrete structures, such as water gates and bridges, caused by hydration heat, pose a serious threat to structural safety and reliability. To address this, various countries have developed temperature control standards and guidelines for mass concrete structures, providing design direction and evaluation criteria. China and the United States (U.

Background: Accurate body fat distribution assessment is essential for managing cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. Although several methods are available for segmental fat analysis, few studies have examined the validity of affordable methods such as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) against the reference method, Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). This study aimed to assess the validity of BIA as compared to DXA for segmental fat mass assessment, and to develop anthropometric multivariate regression models that offer a cost-effective alternative for health professionals in clinical and public health settings.
