We therefore aim to describe the dietary GI and GL of participants of the 2007 Australian National Children's Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (2007ANCNPAS), and to identify the main foods contributing to their GL. Children, aged 2–16 years, who provided two 24 h recalls in the 2007ANCNPAS were included. A final dataset of 4184 participants was analysed. GI of each food item was assigned using a previously published method. GL was calculated, and food groups contributing to the GL were described by age group and sex. The weighted mean dietary GI and GL of the participants were 54 (sd 5) and 136 (sd 44), respectively. Among the nutrients examined, Ca had the highest inverse relationship with GI (P < 0·001), while percentage energy from starch was most positively associated with GI. The association between fibre density and GI was modest, and percentage energy from sugar had an inverse relationship with GI. Daily dietary GL contributed by energy-dense and/or nutrient-poor (EDNP) items in subjects aged 14–16 years was more than doubled that of subjects aged 2–3 years. To conclude, Australian children and adolescents were having a high-GI dietary pattern characterised by high-starchy food intake and low Ca intake. A significant proportion of their dietary GL was from EDNP foods. Efforts to reduce dietary GI and GL in children and adolescents should focus on energy-dense starchy foods.

We examined the association between dietary salt and body weight status.DesignWe used data on urinary Na excretion as an indicator of dietary salt and BMI standard deviation score (BMI-SDS) and percentage body fat (%BF) of children and adolescents participating in the DONALD (Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed) Study.SettingDortmund, Germany.SubjectsChildren and adolescents (n 364) who had at least two 24 h urine samples and two dietary records in the observational period between 2003 and 2009 were considered in our data analysis.ResultsRepeated-measures regression models revealed that urinary Na was positively associated with BMI-SDS (+0·202 SDS/g Na excretion at baseline; P < 0·001) and %BF (+1·303 %BF/g Na excretion at baseline; P < 0·01) at baseline in boys and girls. These associations remained significant after adjustment for SCB consumption and total energy intake. Furthermore, there was a positive trend between baseline Na excretion and the individual change in %BF in the study period (+0·364 increase in %BF/g Na excretion at baseline), which was confirmed after inclusion of SCB consumption or total energy intake. There was no significant association between the change in Na excretion and the concurrent change of either BMI-SDS or %BF in any model.ConclusionsOur results suggest that a high intake of processed salty foods could have a negative impact on body weight status in children and adolescents independently from their consumption of SCB.

Objective: The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between prepubertal glucocorticoid status and early or late pubertal markers, independent of adrenarchal and nutritional status. Design and Participants: Prospective cohort study of healthy Caucasian children (n = 111, 56 boys) who provided both 24-h urine samples and weighed dietary records 1 and 2 yr before the start of pubertal growth spurt [age at take-off (ATO)]. Measurements: Major urinary glucocorticoid and androgen metabolites determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis were summed to assess daily overall cortisol (ΣC21) and adrenal androgen secretion; urinary free cortisol and cortisone measured by RIA were summed (UFF+UFE) as an indicator of potentially bioactive free glucocorticoids. Main Outcomes: The main outcomes included ATO, age at peak height velocity, age at menarche/voice break, ages at Tanner stage 2 for breast (girls) and genital (boys) development, and pubic hair. Results: In girls ΣC21, but not UFF+UFE, was associated with pubertal markers after adjusting for overall adrenal androgen, urinary nitrogen, and body fat. Girls with higher ΣC21 (fourth quartile) reached ATO 0.7 yr (P = 0.01) and menarche 0.9 yr later (P = 0.006) than girls with lower ΣC21 (first quartile). The ΣC21 tended to be also positively associated with age at Tanner stage 2 for breast (P = 0.1), Tanner stage 2 for pubic hair (P = 0.1), and age at peak height velocity (P = 0.06). In boys, neither the ΣC21 nor UFF+UFE was related to pubertal timing. Conclusion: An individually higher prepubertal glucocorticoid secretion level, even in physiological range, appears to delay early and late pubertal timing of healthy girls, particularly their onset of pubertal growth spurt and menarche.

Analyses included 219 DOrtmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed Study participants with sufficient height measurements to estimate ATO who provided 3 d weighed dietary records at baseline, i.e. 2 and 3 years before ATO (mean age 6·9 (sd 1·2) years). Mean energy intakes and amounts of foods/drinks consumed at baseline were derived from the records. ED (kJ/g) was calculated based on (1) all foods and drinks (ED_all), (2) foods and energy-containing drinks (ED_energy), (3) foods and milk as a drink, but no other beverages (ED_milk) and (4) foods only, solid or liquid (ED_food). Using multiple regression analyses, the association between the ED variables and ATO was investigated. Furthermore, Z-scores of BMI and fat mass index (FMI) at ATO were considered as outcomes to reflect body fatness at puberty onset. The results showed that ED at baseline was not associated with ATO, regardless of the ED method used. For example, mean ATO in the lowest v. highest tertile of ED_food was 9·3 (95 % CI 9·0, 9·5) v. 9·4 (95 % CI 9·1, 9·7) years, Ptrend = 0·8 (adjusted for sex, maternal age, birth weight, dietary protein, dietary fibre, baseline BMI Z-score). Similarly, ED was not independently associated with BMI or FMI Z-score at ATO (Ptrend = 0·3–0·9). In conclusion, dietary ED in childhood did not influence timing or body fatness at ATO in this cohort of healthy, free-living children. AU - Günther, Anke L. B. AU - Stahl, Lisa J.

Data on food consumption and supplement intake were collected using an FFQ, which had been designed for the specific study population. Information on parental educational level and equivalent income was derived from questionnaires. Logistic regression modelling was used to analyse the effect of parental education, equivalent income and region on food intake, after adjusting for potential confounders.SettingGermany.SubjectsA total of 3435 children aged 9–12 years.ResultsSubstantial regional differences in food intake were observed between eastern and western Germany. Intakes of bread, butter, eggs, pasta, vegetables/salad and fruit showed a significant direct relationship with the level of parental education after adjusting for potential confounders, whereas intakes of margarine, meat products, pizza, desserts and soft drinks were inversely associated with parental education. Equivalent income had a weaker influence on the child's food intake.ConclusionsNutritional education programmes for school-age children should therefore account for regional differences and parental education.

In our view, its main advantages are the following: It is completely web based. It combines all technologies, data, software agents and human agents involved in the monitoring and customer interaction process. It can be used for messages written in any natural language. Although the prototype of SCM is designed for classifying and processing messages about mobile-phone related problems in social networks, SCM can easily be adapted to other text types such as discussion board posts, blogs or emails. Unlike comparable systems, SCM uses linguistic technologies to classify messages and recognize paraphrases of product names. For two reasons, product name paraphrasing plays a major role in SCM: First, product names typically have many, sometimes hundreds or thousands of intralingual paraphrases. Secondly, product names have interlingual paraphrases: The same products are often called or spelt differently in different countries and/or languages. By mapping product name variants to an international canonical form, SCM allows for answering questions like Which statements are made about this mobile phone in which languages/in which social networks/in which countries/...? The SCM product name paraphrasing engine is designed in such a way that standard variants are assigned automatically, regular variants are assigned semiautomatically and idiosyncratic variants can be added manually. With this and similar features we try to realize our philosophy of simplicity, modularity and flexibility: Whatever can be done automatically is done automatically. But manual intervention is always possible and easy and it does not conflict in any way with the automatic functions of SCM.

Over a period of one year, we gathered German stock analyst reports in order to determine market trends. Our goal is to provide business statistics over time to illustrate market trends for a user-selected company. We therefore recognize named entities within the very short stock analyst reports such as organization names (e.g. BASF, BMW, Ericsson), analyst houses (e.g. Gartner, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs), ratings (e.g. buy, sell, hold, underperform, recommended list) and price estimations by using lexicalized finite-state graphs, so-called local grammars. Then, company names and their acronyms respectively have to be cross-checked against data the analysts provide. Finally, all extracted values are compared and presented into charts with different views depending on the evaluation criteria (e.g. by time line). Thanks to this approach it will be easier and even more comfortable in the future to pay attention to analysts’ buy/sell signals without reading all their reports.

Until now, contact center agents still read these messages and forward them to the persons in charge of customer’s in the company. But with the introduction of Web 2.0 and social networking clients are more likely to communicate with the companies via Facebook and Twitter instead of filling data in contact forms or sending e-mail requests. In order to maintain an active communication with international clients via social media, the multilingual consumer contacts have to be categorized and then automatically assigned to the corresponding business processes (e.g. technicalservice, shipping, marketing, and accounting). This allows the company to follow general trends in customer opinions on the Internet, but also record two-sided communication for customer relationship management.

For this reason, it is assumed that social networks will evolve into a common communication channel – not only between individuals but also between customers and companies. However, social networking has not yet been integrated into customer interaction management (CIM) tools. In general, a CIM application is used by the agents in a contact centre while communicating with the customers. Such systems handle communication across multiple different channels, such as e-mail, telephone, Instant Messaging, letter etc. What we do now is to integrate social networking into CIM applications by adding another communication channel. This allows the company to follow general trends in customer opinions on the Internet, but also record two-sided communication for customer service management and the company’s response will be delivered through the customer’s preferred social networking site.

The electropolishing process led to passive films mainly composed of Ti-oxyhydroxide. The surface showed nanoscopic etching pits with a depths of about 2 nm and a diameter of about 20 nm. The interfacial binding mechanism of the phosphonic acid group to the oxyhydroxide surface and the ordering of the monolayer were spectroscopically analysed by means of infrared reflection absorption FTIR-spectroscopy with (PM-IRRAS) and without (IRRAS) photoelastic modulation. The comparison of IRRAS and PM-IRRAS data of the long chain octadecylphosphonic acid monolayer proved that the binding mechanism of the phosphonic acid group to the oxyhydroxide surface is based on a mono-or bidentate bond, which is not stable in the presence of high water activities. An alkyl chain length of 17 CH2 groups is required for the formation of self-assembled monolayers, which are stable in aqueous environments. These long chain aliphatic organophosphonic acid monolayers were shown to inhibit anodic and cathodic surface reactions. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. AU - Maxisch, M.

To ensure high quality and to avoid misunderstandings, the requirements have to be validated. Because of the ambiguity of natural language and the resulting absence of an automatic mechanism, this has to be done manually. Such manual validation techniques are timeconsuming, error-prone, and repetitive because hundreds or thousands of requirements must be checked. With an automatic validation the requirements engineering process can be faster and can produce requirements of higher quality. To realize an automatism, we propose a controlled natural language (CNL) for the documentation of requirements. On basis of the CNL, a concept for an automatic requirements validation is developed for the identification of inconsistencies and incomplete requirements. Additionally, automated correction operations for such defective requirements are presented. The approach improves the quality of the requirements and therefore the quality of the whole development process.
