Ultra-processed foods, plant and animal source, and all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality in older adults in the United States: results from the Cardiovascular Health Study
Background: Ultra processed food (UPF) consumption is associated with adverse health outcomes. Plant- and animal-sourced UPF have a unique nutritional composition to improve palatability which may impact health, but evidence is limited. The objective of this study aimed to investigate the …

Evaluation of Methods to Determine Usual Ultra-Processed Food Intake Using 24-Hour Dietary Recalls
Ultra-processed foods (UPF), defined by their extensive industrial processing and poor nutritional quality, likely pose significant health risks and dominate modern diets. Reducing UPF consumption could lead to better health outcomes. Definitions of food processing levels in classification systems …

Dietary assessment, ultra-processed food consumption, and adiposity in four countries of South Asia
… on the link between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mortality is growing. However, much of this evidence is from Western countries with little known from non-Western countries such as those in South Asia, where the burden of NCDs like type 2 …

Using Recovery Biomarkers to Evaluate Dietary Compliance in Young Adults Provided Controlled Diets High in Ultra-Processed Foods and Free from Ultra-Processed Foods
Today, ultra-processed foods (UPFs) make up over half of the daily caloric intake in the United States.1 Ultra-processed foods are manufactured using ingredients that have undergone significant processing and rarely contain entire, unaltered foods.8 Diets high in UPFs have been linked to adverse …

Development of a converter for grid-tied and isolated operation of an interior permanent magnet synchronous generator, coupled to a twin-shaft gas turbine
… ampere (MTPA) control and unity power factor (UPF) control are compared for performance. The UPF and MTPA control result in the lowest and second lowest DC-link utilisation respectively when compared to NTA control. This is due to a negative d-axis current component as opposed to a zero d-axis …

Treatment of blue crab processing wastewater using Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) and air stripping technologies
… wastewater, UASB performance appeared similar to UPF and UBF reactor performances reported by Diz and Boardman (1994). When treating unamended wastewater at a 0.25 day⁻¹ F/M ratio, a UASB reactor’s effluent soluble COD fluctuated and increased to above 6,000 mg/L. Batch toxicity assays indicated …
