Objective: To determine whether an angled-bottle feeding system is more effective than a straight-bottle feeding system in facilitating the medically recommended semiupright infant posture and to determine whether an angled bottle promotes improved ergonomic alignment and comfort for the feeder.
Study Design: On two consecutive days, 23 pairs of parent-infant teams, seated in an ergonomic chair, were videotaped at the same time of day, during which infants were fed by their parents with either an angled or a straight bottle (presented in balanced order) fitted with the infants' regular nipple. Infants were given their regular type and amount of formula.
Results: The angled bottle provided a higher level of satisfaction compared with the straight bottle. Less gastric discomfort occurred with the angled bottle versus the straight bottle when each was compared with the bottle used at home. In addition, feeders assumed ergonomically sound positions.
Conclusion: This study indicates that an angled bottle is preferable to a straight bottle because it encourages more physiologic positioning of the infant, improves the comfort level of the feeder, improves ergonomic feeding performance, and decreases the need for burping.

A significant challenge in membrane production is the need for affordable materials that provide high efficiency for their designated applications. Employing recycled materials in membrane manufacturing is viewed as a promising solution to tackle this challenge. In this work, a superwettable polyethylene terephthalate membrane modified with cobalt zeolitic imidazolate framework (PET/Co ZIF) is prepared for the first time from recycled plastic mineral water bottles and used to extract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous samples followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV).

We describe the design and performance of a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer (MBES) for high-energy electron spectroscopy. Our design features a 2 m long electron drift tube and electrostatic retardation lens, achieving sub-electronvolt (eV) electron kinetic energy resolution for high energy (several hundred eV) electrons with a close to 4π collection solid angle. A segmented anode electron detector enables the simultaneous collection of photoelectron spectra in high resolution and high collection efficiency modes.

Aim: This study aimed to determine whether the Kumagai method could be followed by watching an instructional video and to compare the feeding actions of specialists and the general population.
Materials And Methods: Eleven adults from diverse backgrounds were recruited and asked to feed a baby doll using a bottle feeder with a long nipple, and their actions were recorded. Then, they watched a 2.
A generalized method is proposed for the manipulation of Bloch surface waves (BSWs) with multiple designed phases. This method is based on perfectly matched Bragg diffraction with a wide range of available diffraction angles and can be used beyond the paraxial limit to realize nonparaxial accelerating BSW beams. When combined with the caustic method, multiple accelerating beams with pre-engineered trajectories have been successfully generated, including power-law, circular, elliptic, and bottle beams.
