Liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors show a homogenous quadratic pattern in the number of pixels, size, and dimensions. However, their modulation transfer function (MTF) has a non-isotropic effect in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions on the screen from the shape and pattern of arrangement of pixels. Moreover, the MTF of the human eye differs in spatial frequency response directivity among individuals. In this study, the high-brightness LCD monitor detectability was physically simulated and visually examined throughout the system, including the imaging system. Furthermore, the influence of anisotropy of the LCD monitor was evaluated. The MTF of the LCD monitor was measured by acquiring a bar pattern using a digital camera with sufficiently small pixels in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions and by performing interpolation processing through waveform reproduction and frequency analysis. The detectability of the LCD monitor was verified throughout the system, including the imaging system. Radiographs of the rectangular wave chart (0.5-10 LP/mm) were obtained in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal (45°) directions to assess the perceivable limit of the human eye (LP/mm). The spatial resolution of the LCD monitor in the diagonal direction was higher than that in the vertical or horizontal direction, which was in good agreement with the results of the profile analysis and visual evaluation.

In Santiago, Chile, 315,000 liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors are discarded annually. Of this amount, the formal sector of refurbishment and recycling manages only 5 %, creating the conditions for the emergence of informal management systems. This study provides the first comprehensive environmental and circularity assessment of monitor treatment across multiple impact categories, identifying trade-offs associated with formal and informal operations.

Metaproteomics is a valuable approach to characterize the biological functions involved in the gut microbiota (GM) response to dietary interventions. Ketogenic diets (KDs) are very effective in controlling seizure severity and frequency in drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) and in the weight loss management in obese/overweight individuals. This case study provides proof of concept for the suitability of metaproteomics to monitor changes in taxonomic and functional GM features in an individual on a short-term very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD, 4 weeks), followed by a low-calorie diet (LCD).

Most vision labs have had to replace the formerly dominant CRT screens with LCDs and several studies have investigated whether changing the display type leads to changes in perceptual phenomena, since fundamental properties of the stimulation, e.g., the transition time between frames, differ between these different display technologies.

Introduction: Obesity is a growing public health issue, especially among young adults, with long-term management strategies still under debate. This prospective study compares the effects of caloric restriction and isocaloric diets with different macronutrient distributions on body composition and anthropometric parameters in obese women during a 12-week weight loss program, aiming to identify the most effective dietary strategies for managing obesity-related health outcomes.
Methods: A certified clinical nutritionist assigned specific diets over a 12-week period to 150 participants, distributed as follows: hypocaloric diets-low-energy diet (LED, 31 subjects) and very low-energy diet (VLED, 13 subjects); isocaloric diets with macronutrient distribution-low-carbohydrate diet (LCD, 48 subjects), ketogenic diet (KD, 23 subjects), and high-protein diet (HPD, 24 subjects); and isocaloric diet without macronutrient distribution-time-restricted eating (TRE, 11 subjects).
