Nutritional strategies for skeletal and cardiovascular health: hard bones, soft arteries, rather than vice versa
The focus of this paper is to explore better strategies for optimising bone strength and reducing risk of fracture, while at the same time decreasing risk of cardiovascular disease. The majority of Americans do not consume the current recommended dietary allowance for calcium, and the lifetime risk of osteoporosis is about 50%. However, traditional mononutrient calcium supplements may not be id...
متن کاملp-FEMs in biomechanics: Bones and Arteries
The p-version of the finite element method (p-FEM) is extended to problems in the field of biomechanics: the mechanical response of bones and arteries. These problems are extremely challenging, partly because the constitutive models governing these materials are very complex and have not been investigated by sufficiently rigorous methods. Furthermore, these biological structures have a complex ...
متن کامل(weak) Calibration is Computationally Hard
Consider a weather forecaster that predicts the probability of rain. The forecaster is said to be calibrated if every time she predicts a certain probability of rain, the empirical average of rainy vs. non-rainy days approaches this forecasted probability. This very natural property of forecasting was introduced by [Daw82] and has found numerous applications since [FV97, FV98, KLS99, Fos99, FL9...
متن کاملHard Life with Weak Binders
We introduce weak binders, a lightweight construct to deal withfresh names in nominal calculi. Weak binders do not define the scopeof names as precisely as the standard ν-binders, yet they enjoy strongsemantic properties. We provide them with a denotational seman-tics, an equational theory, and a trace inclusion preorder. Further-more, we present a trace-preserving mappi...
متن کاملSoft bone - hard arteries: a link?
Chronic kidney disease is characterized by mineral and various bone disorders associated with extraosseous and cardiovascular calcifications. Experimental studies and clinical observations in the general population and in chronic kidney disease patients show an inverse relationship between the extent of cardiovascular calcifications and bone mineral density or bone metabolic activity. Arterial ...
