Evidence has emerged across the past few decades that the lifetime risk of developing morbidities like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease may be influenced by exposures that occur in utero and in childhood. Developmental abnormalities are known to occur at various stages in fetal growth. Epidemiological and mechanistic studies have sought to delineate developmental processes and
We present a deterministic algorithm that given any directed graph on n vertices computes the parity of its number of Hamiltonian cycles in O(1.619n) time and polynomial space. For bipartite graphs, we give a 1.5npoly(n) expected time algorithm. Our algorithms are based on a new combinatorial formula for the number of Hamiltonian cycles modulo a positive integer.
Objective The development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) confers a high risk of mortality in primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) patients, but the sensitivity and specificity of proposed lymphoma predictors are insufficient for practical use. The performance of lymphoid organisation in the form of germinal centre (GC)-like lesions was evaluated in labial salivary gland biopsies taken at pSS diagnosi
Empirical research about late sexual debut and its consequences is limited, and further research is needed.
The onset of formulating strategies and policies regarding the bioeconomy can be, at least partly, attributed to the publication of the bioeconomy policy agenda by the OECD in 2009. The aim of this study is to analyse selected national strategies and policies regarding the development of a bioeconomy and to clarify similarities and differences between them. The article presents a comparative overv
Background: HTLV-1 is endemic in Guinea-Bissau, and the highest prevalence in the adult population (5.2%) was observed in a rural area, Caio, in 1990. HIV-1 and HIV-2 are both prevalent in this area as well. Cross-sectional associations have been reported for HTLV-1 with HIV infection, but the trends in prevalence of HTLV-1 and HIV associations are largely unknown, especially in Sub Saharan Africa
The aim of this paper is to find out if the returns to immigrants’ schooling are lower than the returns to natives’ schooling. In addition the paper tries to establish whether immigrants who invest in different amounts of Swedish education also differ in their returns to schooling. For immigrants arriving in Sweden as adults, the returns to schooling are on average one log point lower than for nat
Background: Meat intake may be related to weight gain because of its high energy and fat content. Some observational studies have shown that meat consumption is positively associated with weight gain, but intervention studies have shown mixed results. Objective: Our objective was to assess the association between consumption of total meat, red meat, poultry, and processed meat and weight gain afte
The Sound Environment Center at Lund university is an interdisciplinary center created to coordinate research on sound and soundscape issues and is known to be the first of its kind worldwide. Ranging from acoustics to medicine, psychology, and cognitive sciences, as well as humanities like musicology and linguistics, soundscape research adresses many interdependent areas and touches upon health a
Abstract in French Le monologue théâtral par l’auteur italien Alessandro Baricco, Novecento, publié en 1994 a fait l’objet de deux adaptations: en 1998 Giuseppe Tornatore a réalisé un film en langue originale anglaise, The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean; en 2008, Baricco lui-même, en collaboration avec le dessinateur Giorgio Cavazzano et le scénariste Tito Faraci, signe l’adaptation en bandes
Three new copper(II) complexes, [Cu(L)(Cl)]ClO4 (1), [Cu(L)(Br)]ClO4 (2) and [Cu(L)(I)]ClO4 (3), have been prepared from a tetradentate symmetrical Schiff base, N,N'-bis-(1-pyridin-2-yl-ethylidene)-propane-1,3-diamine (L), and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Extended supra-molecular networks were generated through differ
Hemicelluloses could be used to replace fossil-based materials in several high-value-added products. Today, vast amounts of hemicelluloses are discharged from pulp mills all over the world as waste, but these could be isolated by membrane filtration, and utilized in various applications. In this study, the hemicellulose galactoglucomannan was isolated from process water from a thermomechanical pul
