OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential influence of dietary Se intake on mortality among Chinese populations. DESIGN We prospectively evaluated all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality risks associated with dietary Se intake in participants of the Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS) and the Shanghai Men's Health study (SMHS). Dietary Se intake was assessed by validated FFQ during in-person interv...

a subgroup $h$ is said to be $s$-permutable in a group $g$‎, ‎if‎ ‎$hp=ph$ holds for every sylow subgroup $p$ of $g$‎. ‎if there exists a‎ ‎subgroup $b$ of $g$ such that $hb=g$ and $h$ permutes with every‎ ‎sylow subgroup of $b$‎, ‎then $h$ is said to be $ss$-quasinormal in‎ ‎$g$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we say that $h$ is a weakly $ss$-quasinormal‎ ‎subgroup of $g$‎, ‎if there is a normal subgroup ...

In this chapter the results of kinetic studies of the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation using monodentate phosphoramidite ligands are described. Together with the data obtained by a number of other techniques a mechanism for the Rhcatalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation with MonoPhosTM is proposed. The formation of the catalyst precursor results in a mixture of diastereomeric Rh-complexes w...

a result of dixon‎, ‎evans and smith shows that if $g$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group whose proper subgroups are (finite rank)-by-abelian‎, ‎then $g$ itself has this property‎, ‎i.e‎. ‎the commutator subgroup of $g$ has finite rank‎. ‎it is proved here that if $g$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group whose proper subgroups have minimax commutator subgroup‎, ‎then also the commutator s...

AIM To evaluate the accuracy of spherical equivalent (SE) estimates of a double-pass system and to compare it with retinoscopy, subjective refraction and a table-mounted autorefractor. METHODS Non-cycloplegic refraction was performed on 125 eyes of 65 healthy adults (age 23.5±3.0 years) from October 2010 to January 2011 using retinoscopy, subjective refraction, autorefraction (Auto kerato-ref...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate and compare the effects of organic and inorganic selenium (Se) sources on broiler male birds (Ross 308). Uniform broiler male chicks divided in to five groups with six replicates were fed with either normal feed (without supplemental Se, negative control), 0.25 ppm of inorganic Se, 0.5 ppm of inorganic Se, 0.25 ppm of inorganic Se + 0.25 ppm of organic ...

in this article we introduce the notion of n-capable groups. it is shown that every group g admits a uniquely determined subgroup (〖z^n)〗^* (g) which is a characteristic subgroup and lies in the n-centre subgroup of the group g. this is the smallest subgroup of g whose factor group is n-capable. moreover, some properties of n-central extension will be studied.

OBJECTIVES To understand the variations of selenium (Se) concentration relative to changes in occupational exposure to coal dust, taking into account age and changes in smoking habits in miners surveyed twice, in 1990 and 1994. To better understand the relation of Se concentration with glutathione peroxidase activities (GSH-Px) in these miners. METHODS In 1994, blood samples were obtained fro...
