BACKGROUND: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) and linear growth stunting affect many rural agrarian children in the developing world and contribute to the persistently high rates of stunting that are observed worldwide. Effective interventions to consistently ameliorate EED are lacking. OBJECTIVE: We tested whether a bundle of safe and affordable interventions would decrease EED and stunt...

The species of Pimpinella, one the largest genera family Apiaceae, are traditionally cultivated for medicinal purposes. In this study, high-throughput double digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing technology (ddRAD-seq) was used to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight Pimpinella from Iran. After double-digestion with enzymes HpyCH4IV and HinfI, a total 334,702,966...

1. Experiments are described in which it was observed that the yield of protein that can be synthesized by pepsin from a given peptic digest is highest when the hydrolyzing action of the pepsin is stopped as soon as all the protein has disappeared from the solution; and that the longer the digest is permitted to contain active enzyme the more the yield diminishes. 2. Exposure of the digest to a...

Age-standardized rates (ASRs; using 1985 Japanese standard population) for Breast cancer mortality for 1960–2000 are shown for Japan, the USA, the UK, France and Italy (Fig. 1). Over this period, ASRs of breast cancer among women from the USA, the UK, France and Italy decreased following the peak around 1990. ASRs for Japanese women were much lower than those observed among women in the USA, th...

HTTP Digest is known to be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, even when run inside TLS, if the same passwords are used for authentication in some other context without TLS. This is a general problem that affects not just HTTP digest but also other IETF protocols. However, for a class of strong algorithms the attack is avoidable. This document defines version 2 of the HTTP Digest AKA algor...
