TL;DR: In this article, a series of binary magnesium-based alloys have been prepared with Gd concentrations between 0.22 and 4.65 wt. These alloys were processed by hot rolling in order to refine the microstructure and examine the recrystallisation behaviour.

TL;DR: A 'state of the science' overview of evidence regarding environmental influences on nutrition and physical activity behaviors is provided and a research agenda is proposed to progress understanding of the influences of the environment on population nutrition andPhysical activity behaviors.
Abstract: Research interest in the influence of environmental factors on nutrition and physical activity behaviors has surged internationally in recent years. This is evident from a rapidly expanding literature and facilitated by advances in methodological and analytical approaches to assessing multiple levels of influence on health behaviors. However, a number of conceptual challenges complicate research endeavours in this field. The purpose of this paper is to provide a 'state of the science' overview of evidence regarding environmental influences on nutrition and physical activity behaviors. We focus particularly on a number of key conceptual and methodological issues, including: a consideration of how the environment is defined; the selection and operationalization of environmental exposures; and the importance of integrating existing understanding of individual influences on behavior with the emerging data on the role of the environment. We draw on examples from the published literature including our own research studies to illustrate these issues. We conclude by proposing a research agenda to progress understanding of the influences of the environment on population nutrition and physical activity behaviors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Australian Learning and Teaching Council's criteria for effective teaching in higher education have been compared with the dimensions derived from robust research and psychometric processes and observed the criteria of effective teaching to have evolved.
Abstract: The criteria of effective teaching in higher education are understood to comprise particular skills and practices applied within particular contexts. Drawing on the literature and using Australia's understanding of effective teaching, this paper examines the notion of effective teaching. The paper specifically compares dimensions derived from robust research and psychometric processes with the Australian Learning and Teaching Council's criteria for effective teaching and observes the criteria of effective teaching in higher education to have evolved. While the paper suggests some areas in which future considerations of the notion of effective teaching might usefully focus, it also argues that context is critical and that it is subject to continuous and multiple changes imposed by forces from within and outside universities. The paper maintains that our collective understanding of competent, professional and effective teaching must continually evolve in order that it accurately reflects and continually responds to the contexts in which learning and teaching is undertaken. The paper also calls for an ongoing agenda that continuously investigates and articulates the meaning of effective teaching in a changed, and changing, context.

TL;DR: Several key influences varied by SES, including food-related values such as health consciousness, and a lack of time due to family commitments, as well as perceived high cost of healthy eating and lack ofTime due to work commitments, which were more salient among higher SES women.
