Infant and Young Child Feeding in the Developed and Developing Countries by Enos, Mirembe Masereka, Clement, Munguiko, Alex, Tumusiime, Linda Grace, Alanyo

“…In this chapter we have included sections on appropriate infant feeding; including how to initiate breastfeeding in the first hour of birth, how to exclusively breastfeed infants until 6 months of age, how to complement breastfeed- ing after 6 months of infant’s age as well as continuing to breastfeed until 24 months of age and even beyond. Furthermore, we have included a description of how mothers who are unable to breastfeed can feed their infants on expressed breastmilk or replace breastmilk with appropriate homemade or commercial formula. …”

Study on the rheological properties of nano-SiO2 composite modified basalt mineral fiber asphalt mortar by Haiwei Gao, Nanxiang Zheng, Xiang Zhang, Zhihui Li, Zhuohong Cong

“…The high-temperature stability of fiber asphalt mastic improves with increasing fiber dosage, but the improvement becomes negligible beyond a 2.6% dosage. The interfacial bonding layer formed by asphalt on the fiber surface enhances the high-temperature performance and stress dissipation at low temperatures, thereby improving low-temperature cracking resistance.…”

Families Living with Blood-Borne Viruses: The Case for Extending the Concept of “Serodiscordance” by Asha Persson, Christy E. Newman, Myra Hamilton, Joanne Bryant, Jack Wallace, kylie valentine

“…It is rarely applied to wider relationships, including family networks beyond the couple. Despite evidence in the literature that families are affected by blood-borne viruses in multiple social, emotional, financial, and generational ways, the concept of serodiscordance does not capture these broader dynamics. …”
