Strategies for replacing saturated fat in meat products: A review
This paper aims to provide a better understanding of how to replace saturated fat in meat products due to concerns about its high amounts as health consciousness improves and consumers look for changes. In particular, we focused on various approaches and technologies to replace saturated fat in meat products. A systematic literature review was conducted using Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus based on existing papers. The use of vegetable oils in meat products, oleogel and emulsion gel technologies, as well as application of protein substitutes were reviewed. The results show that the mentioned methods are potentially effective techniques for reducing the saturated fat content of meat products. As research on new approaches to fat substitutes continues to attract interest, we would like to highlight the research needs for the development of healthy meat products in the long term.This paper aims to provide a better understanding of how to replace saturated fat in meat products due to concerns about its high amounts as health consciousness improves and consumers look for changes.

Microalgae as alternative proteins for the sustainable food industry: A review
This paper reviews the nutritional properties and consumer perceptions of microalgae foods through various recent studies on alternative protein sources. Food choices, including meat consumption, are a common concern for humanity. Thus, we focused on whether microalgae foods have a sufficient value as a protein source and what nutritional benefits they have. Based on existing papers, we conducted a systematic review using Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus to comprehensively investigate and summarize the nutritional characteristics of microalgae, sustainable diets, and awareness of microalgae as an alternative protein source. Research has shown that microalgae have been consumed by humans as a protein source since ancient times, and contain enough protein to be used as an alternative protein source. They also have many other nutritional benefits, such as vitamins. We have found that consumers are increasingly interested in alternative protein sources, and the more they learn about microalgae, the more accepting they become. These results may suggest a need for further research to improve microalgae as an alternative protein source in the long run and develop them into a variety of foods
Non-Classical Response from Quench-Cooled Solid Helium Confined in Porous Gold
We have investigated the non-classical response of solid 4He confined in
porous gold set to torsional oscillation. When solid helium is grown rapidly,
nearly 7% of the solid helium appears to be decoupled from the oscillation
below about 200 mK. Dissipation appears at temperatures where the decoupling
shows maximum variation. In contrast, the decoupling is substantially reduced
in slowly grown solid helium. The dynamic response of solid helium was also
studied by imposing a sudden increase in the amplitude of oscillation. Extended
relaxation in the resonant period shift, suggesting the emergence of the
pinning of low energy excitations, was observed below the onset temperature of
the non-classical response. The motion of a dislocation or a glassy solid is
restricted in the entangled narrow pores and is not likely responsible for the
period shift and long relaxation
Community Group-Based Models of Medication Delivery: Applicability to Cardiovascular Diseases.
The rising global burden of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has put a strain on healthcare systems globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries, which have seen disproportionate mortality rates due to non-communicable diseases. These deaths are in part due to challenges with medication adherence, which are compounded by lack of access to medication and weak community support systems. This paper aims to propose a potential solution using models of service delivery in HIV/AIDS, given the many similarities between NCD and HIV/AIDS. Models that have been particularly effective in HIV/AIDS are the community-based peer-support medication delivery groups: medication adherence clubs and community antiretroviral therapy (ART) groups. The positive outcomes from these models, including improved medication adherence and patient satisfaction, provide evidence for their potential success when applied to non-communicable diseases, particularly hypertension and cardiovascular disease
Charge and Orbital Ordering and Spin State Transition Driven by Structural Distortion in YBaCo_2O_5
We have investigated electronic structures of antiferromagnetic YBaCo_2O_5
using the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) + U method. The charge and
orbital ordered insulating ground state is correctly obtained with the strong
on-site Coulomb interaction. Co^{2+} and Co^{3+} ions are found to be in the
high spin (HS) and intermediate spin (IS) state, respectively. It is considered
that the tetragonal to orthorhombic structural transition is responsible for
the ordering phenomena and the spin states of Co ions. The large contribution
of the orbital moment to the total magnetic moment indicates that the
spin-orbit coupling is also important in YBaCo_2O_5.Comment: 4 pages including 4 figures, Submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
SPH Simulations of Galactic Gaseous Disk with Bar: Distribution and Kinematic Structure of Molecular Clouds toward the Galactic Center
We have performed Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations to study
the response of molecular clouds in the Galactic disk to a rotating bar and
their subsequent evolution in the Galactic Center (GC) region. The Galactic
potential in our models is contributed by three axisymmetric components
(massive halo, exponential disk, compact bulge) and a non-axisymmetric bar.
These components are assumed to be invariant in time in the frame corotating
with the bar. Some noticeable features such as an elliptical outer ring, spiral
arms, a gas-depletion region, and a central concentration have been developed
due to the influence of the bar. The rotating bar induces non-circular motions
of the SPH particles, but hydrodynamic collisions tend to suppress the random
components of the velocity. The velocity field of the SPH particles is
consistent with the kinematics of molecular clouds observed in HCN (1-0)
transition; these clouds are thought to be very dense clouds. However, the l-v
diagram of the clouds traced by CO is quite different from that of our SPH
simulation, being more similar to that obtained from simulations using
collisionless particles. The diagram of a mixture of collisional and
collisionless particles gives better reproduction of the kinematic structures
of the GC clouds observed in the CO line. The fact that the kinematics of HCN
clouds can be reproduced by the SPH particles suggests that the dense clouds in
the GC are formed via cloud collisions induced by rotating bar.Comment: 31 pages, 10 pigures, accepted for publication in Ap
A superfluid hydrodynamic model for the enhanced moments of inertia of molecules in liquid 4He
We present a superfluid hydrodynamic model for the increase in moment of
inertia, , of molecules rotating in liquid He. The static
inhomogeneous He density around each molecule (calculated using the Orsay-Paris
liquid He density functional) is assumed to adiabatically follow the
rotation of the molecule. We find that the values created by the
viscousless and irrotational flow are in good agreement with the observed
increases for several molecules [ OCS, (HCN), HCCCN, and HCCCH ]. For
HCN and HCCH, our model substantially overestimates . This is likely
to result from a (partial) breakdown of the adiabatic following approximation.Comment: 4 pages, 1 eps figure, corrected version of published paper. Erratum

Area spectra versus entropy spectra in black holes in topologically massive gravity
We consider the area and entropy spectra of black holes in topologically
massive gravity with gravitational Chern-Simons term. The examples we consider
are the BTZ black hole and the warped AdS black hole. For the non-rotating BTZ
black hole, the area and entropy spectra are equally spaced and independent of
the coupling constant \v of the Chern-Simons term. For the rotating BTZ black
hole case, the spectra of the inner and outer horizon areas are not equally
spaced in general and dependent of the coupling constant \v. However the
entropy spectrum is equally spaced and independent of the coupling constant
\v. For the warped AdS black holes for by using the quasinormal modes
obtained without imposing the boundary condition at radial infinity we find
again that the entropy spectrum is equally spaced and independent of the
coupling constant \v, while the spectra of the inner and outer horizon areas
are not equally spaced and dependent of the coupling constant \v. Our result
implies that the entropy spectrum has a universal behavior regardless of the
presence of the gravitational Chern-Simons term, and therefore it implies that
the entropy is more `fundamental' than the horizon area.Comment: 16 page
