Calcium intake in the Mediterranean region

2014

A deficiency in calcium intake, is considered an important risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. Since the human body cannot produce calcium, individuals are recommended to maintain an adequate daily intake. The aim of the “Calcium Intake in the Mediterranean Region” Study is to evaluate the mean calcium intake in men and women between 40 and 80 residing in various areas of the Mediterranean basin. Enrolled subjects have been asked to fill out a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate the mean daily calcium intake from food, principle risk factors for osteoporosis were registered. A dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has also been carried out to evaluate bone mineral de…

Layout and performance of RPC used in the Argo-YBJ experiment

2006

The layout of the RPCs, used in the Argo-YBJ experiment to image with a high space-time granularity the atmospheric shower, is described in this paper. The detector has been assembled to provide both digital and analog informations in order to cover a wide particle density range with a time accuracy of 1 ns. The experimental results obtained operating the chambers in streamer mode at sea level with a standard gas mixture are presented. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
