The relationship between high school open-campus policies or lunch food source and student dietary behaviors: a systematic review

Abstract Background The school food environment significantly influences students’ dietary habits. Adolescents consume approximately one-third to one-half of their meals at school, rendering this a critical context for interventions to improve the food environment. The off-campus...

Volatile depletion in rocky planets as a chemical fingerprint of hybrid accretion

Volatile depletion in rocky planets records their formation history. Earth and Mars grew through different hybrid pathways of pebble and planetesimal accretion, providing a new way to interpret the diversity of rocky planets beyond the Solar System.

Modularization Barriers and Barrier Breakers in Capital Projects

Abstract Modularization is an execution strategy that transfers work from the project site to an offsite location for improved project performance. It is expected to have significant growth and wide acceptance, leading to enhanced productivity and competitiveness of capital proje...
