“…Daily calcium intake during pregnancy is recommended at 1000 mg/day, increasing to 1200 mg/day in the last trimester (Table 1), with Vitamin D also consumed along with calcium to allow for the adaptive homeostatic mechanisms for gestation and lactation to occur [6,37]. In western diets, milk and milk products are the primary sources of calcium; with cereals, fruits, and vegetables making a lesser contribution.…”

Trace elements are important for human health and development. The body requires specific micronutrients to function, with aberrant changes associated with a variety of negative health outcomes. Despite this evidence, the status and function of micronutrients during pregnancy are relatively unknown and more information is required to ensure that women receive optimal intakes for foetal development. Changes in trace element status have been associated with pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pre-eclampsia (PE), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and preterm birth. Measuring micronutrients with methodologies such as elemental metabolomics, which involves the simultaneous quantification and characterisation of multiple elements, could provide insight into gestational disorders. Identifying unique and subtle micronutrient changes may highlight associated proteins that are affected underpinning the pathophysiology of these complications, leading to new means of disease diagnosis. This review will provide a comprehensive summary of micronutrient status during pregnancy, and their associations with gestational disorders. Furthermore, it will also comment on the potential use of elemental metabolomics as a technique for disease characterisation and prediction.

“…Here, we use Tracker video analysis software to explore the vertical motion of the Yang-na seed and to test an underlying theory. Tracker is a free and open source software and can be downloaded at www.opensourcephysics.org [10]. It is widely used for analysing the movement of objects in a recorded video, especially for Physics education.…”

Unraveling the vertical motion of Dipterocarpus alatus seed using Tracker

et al. 2020

We perform analytical and experimental investigation of the vertical motion of Dipterocarpus alatus seed, locally called Yang-na in Thailand. In this work, we assume the drag forces exerting on the Yang-na seeds depend only on the velocity. We derive equations of motion (EoMs) to physically parametrize the vertical motion of the seed and analytically solve to obtain the exact solutions. Interestingly, we observe that our predicted solutions are in agreement with the experimental data. More precisely, the entire trajectory of the falling seed of Yang-na can be described by our predicted solutions. We also determine terminal velocity of the seeds. Remarkably, this work reasonably proves that seed dispersal characteristics of Yang-na is inherently straight downward. Finally, we believe that our achievement will be valuable to the large community of STEM/STEAM education to promote an understanding in the topic integrating mathematics, physics, biology, art and technology.Our framework constitutes learning model to improve the ability of creative thinking, analytical thinking and problem solving skills on the concept of forces and motion applicable from high school to college levels.
