Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increased in parallel with central obesity and its prevalence is anticipated to increase as the obesity epidemic remains unabated. NAFLD is now the most common cause of chronic liver disease in developed countries and is defined as excessive lipid accumulation in the liver, i.e.,...
BACKGROUND: Little is known about α-tocopherol’s bioavailability
as a constituent of food or its dependence on a subject’s age.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the α-tocopherol bioavailability from food,
we used collard greens grown in deuterated water (²H collard
greens) as a source of deuterium-labeled (²H) α-tocopherol consumed
by younger and older...
The convolution inequality h ∗ h(ξ) ≤ B|ξ|θh(ξ) defined on Rⁿ
arises from a probabilistic representation of solutions of the n-dimensional
Navier-Stokes equations, n ≥ 2. Using a chaining argument, we establish
in all dimensions n ≥ 1 the nonexistence of strictly positive fully supported
solutions of this inequality for...
Ocean Wave Energy Converters (OWECs) operating on
the water surface are subject to storms and other extreme
events. In particular, high and steep waves, especially
breaking waves, are likely the most dangerous to OWECs. A
method for quantifying the breaking severity of waves is
presented and applied to wave data...
A broad definition of forestry would include the study of trees and forests and their use by people. Modern, "science-based" forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked for specialists who could address questions on wood supply and extraction both at home and in their colonies. The threat of...
A broad definition of forestry would include the study of trees, forests, and the habitat they provide as well as their use by people. Modern, "science-based" forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked for specialists who could address questions on wood supply and extraction both at home and...
