In this article, we deal with the nonlocal elliptic problems of the Kirchhoff type involving the Hardy potential and critical nonlinearity on a bounded domain in R 3 . Under an appropriate condition on the nonhomogeneous term and using variational methods, we obtain two distinct solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To investigate food and nutrient intakes in 9-month-old infants. Design: Cross-sectional survey, including 24-hour dietary recalls of infants food and nutrient intakes, as reported by parents. Material and methods: 378 infants (9 months old completed, singleton, born at term in the district of Tlemcen, birth weight a 2,500 grams) were randomly recruited at the time of vaccination against measles, from the 9 immunization's centers in the district of Tlemcen, between 29/11/2007 and 14/10/2008, after parents signed consent. Diet was assessed using a structured 24-hour food recall. Data collection and statistical analyses were performed using Nutri-survey 2007 and SPSS statistics 17.0. In the absence of national guidelines, nutrient intakes were compared with dietary recommended nutritional intakes (RNI) or the Dietary Refe-rence Intakes (DRIs). Results: Globally, all mean macronutrient nutrient intakes, met dietary recommended nutritional intakes. However, daily intakes of some micronutrients (folie acid, vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and especially iron) were below recommendations. Thus, consi-dering a 10% bioavailability level, 38.1 % of the subjeets had iron intakes less than the recommended nutrient intake and 80% lessthan RNI X 0.77. Conclusions: Daily intakes of micronutrients, especially iron, must be improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Delamination of 2D coordination polymers (2D-CPs). • Role of interstitial solvent molecules in the delamination of 2D-CPs. • Non-assisted delamination with solvents. • Bath versus tip sonication and their influence on the final flake formation. • Influence of the sonication time in the final delamination product. Two novel cadmium-based 2D coordination polymers have been synthesized and characterized. Experimental results evidence that the best delamination processes occurs when weak interactions dominate the cohesion between layers and solvent molecules are occluded within the crystalline network. In this case, the delamination of the crystals occurs spontaneously in water. On top of that, and thanks to the high stability of the resulting (flake) colloidal dispersions, we have completed a detailed study of the sonication assisted delamination impact by: I) comparison of two different sonication approaches (bath vs. tip sonication) and II) optimization of final flake morphology and yield by controlling solvent and sonication time. Our results definitely pave the way for the fabrication and implementation of 2D coordination polymers using ultrasound. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
