[The ketogenic diet: an underappreciated therapeutic option?].
2011
Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions in Western countries and is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite the constant recommendations of health care organizations regarding the importance of weight control, this goal often fails. Although there is a common agreement about the concept that exercise and diet are two key factors for the control of body weight, the ideal amount and type of exercise and also the ideal diet for weight control are still under debate. A widely accepted nutritional regime is the Mediterranean diet that has evident health benefits although less attention has been paid to see if the effects are due to other lifestyle factors which may contribute t…
Associations of nutrition and body composition with cardiovascular disease risk factors in soldiers during a 6-month deployment
2020
Objectives This observational follow-up study investigated the associations of nutrition and body composition with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, including pro-inflammatory biomarkers, in soldiers during a 6-month deployment. Material and Methods Thirty-five male soldiers were assessed at months 0, 3 and 6, and their parameters, i.e., M±SD, were as follows: age 30.0±8.7 years, height 179±6 cm, and BMI 24.2±2.5 kg/m 2 . Three-day food diaries were used for monitoring macronutrient intake. Body composition was estimated using bioimpedance. Fasting blood samples for lipids and pro-inflammatory biomarkers were collected, and blood pressure measurements were performed. Results Carboh…
Aperiodic Diffract: Study of diffraction gratings
2014
In this work we introduce a virtual laboratory, APERIODIC DIFFRACT, developed in Matlab GUI (Graphical User Interface) as an informatics tool for teaching the diffractive properties of aperiodic gratings. This GUI allows the student to generate aperiodic sequences by iterating and lets to study the spectra for different iterating orders.<br /><br />
Hard diffraction in photoproduction with Pythia 8
2019
We present a new framework for modeling hard diffractive events in photoproduction, implemented in the general purpose event generator Pythia 8. The model is an extension of the model for hard diffraction with dynamical gap survival in pp and ppbar collisions proposed in 2015, now also allowing for other beam types. It thus relies on several existing ideas: the Ingelman-Schlein approach, the framework for multiparton interactions and the recently developed framework for photoproduction in gamma p, gamma gamma, ep and $e^+e^-$ collisions. The model proposes an explanation for the observed factorization breaking in photoproduced diffractive dijet events at HERA, showing an overall good agreem…
Well-posed nonlinear problems in integrated circuits modeling
1991
In this paper we study the problem (E) + (BC) + (IC) (see below) which represents a model for integrated circuits. We assume that the distributed parametersr(x) andc(x) are nonconstant, dielectric leakages depend on thex-coordinate as well as the voltage level, while the interconnecting multiport is nonlinear and possibly multivalued.
Evaluating the Effects of Sediment Transport on Pipe Flow Resistance
2021
In this paper, the applicability of a theoretical flow resistance law to sediment-laden flow in pipes is tested. At first, the incomplete self-similarity (ISS) theory is applied to deduce the velocity profile and the corresponding flow resistance law. Then the available database of measurements carried out by clear water and sediment-laden flows with sediments having a quasi-uniform sediment size and three different values of the mean particle diameter Dm (0.88 mm, 0.41 mm and 0.30 mm) are used to calibrate the Γ parameter of the power-velocity profile. The fitting of the measured local velocity to the power distribution demonstrates that (i) for clear flow the exponent δ can be estimated b…
On the Problem of Well-Posedness for the Radon Transform
1981
In this note, we first discuss some continuity and discontinuity properties of the inverse Radon transform (R.t.). Any such property gives a positive (or negative) answer to the question, whether under certain contitions the problem of inverting the R.t. is well-posed.
Relatively Orthocomplemented Skew Nearlattices in Rickart Rings
2015
AbstractA class of (right) Rickart rings, called strong, is isolated. In particular, every Rickart *-ring is strong. It is shown in the paper that every strong Rickart ring R admits a binary operation which turns R into a right normal band having an upper bound property with respect to its natural order ≤; such bands are known as right normal skew nearlattices. The poset (R, ≤) is relatively orthocomplemented; in particular, every initial segment in it is orthomodular.The order ≤ is actually a version of the so called right-star order. The one-sided star orders are well-investigated for matrices and recently have been generalized to bounded linear Hilbert space operators and to abstract Ric…
Programming languages for data-Intensive HPC applications: A systematic mapping study
2020
This work is a result of activities from COST Action 10406 High -Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications (cHiPSet), funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology. FCT, Portugal for grants: NOVA LINCS Research Laboratory Ref. UID/ CEC/ 04516/ 2019); INESC-ID Ref. UID/CEC/50021/2019; BioISI Ref. UID/MULTI/04046/2103; LASIGE Research Unit Ref. UID/CEC/00408/ 2019. A major challenge in modelling and simulation is the need to combine expertise in both software technologies and a given scientific domain. When High-Performance Computing (HPC) is required to solve a scientific problem, software development becomes a problematic issue. Considering the complexity…
Using corpus tools to analyse learner language in a UK EAP context
2014
This study analyses the language of successful spoken requests used by Chinese intermediate level English for Academic Purposes (EAP) students in Discourse Completion Tasks (DCTs) at a UK higher education institution. Using corpus tools, the authors examined the frequent words, chunks and moves in request data and compared this to general reference corpora. Findings suggest that successful spoken requests often made use of high frequency modals and chunks. The data also demonstrated that the use of appropriate request moves were often associated with success, even if the language used contained linguistic errors. The findings have important implications for how spoken requests are taught in…
