In the time that it takes you to read this page, approximately 60 children under five will die. Every hour, about 1140 young children die; most of them from malnutrition and preventable diseases. Annually, it is about 10 million lives. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the rate of under five mortality is 172 per 1000 live births. In industrialized countries, the rate is 6 per 1000. While many in the West ...

INTRODUCTION Supplementation of Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3FA) in athletes is related to the anti-inflammatory and/or antioxidant effect and consequently its action on all the processes of tissue restoration and adaptation to physical stress. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the Omega-3 Index (O3Ix) response, in red blood cells, to supplemental EPA + DHA intake in the form of high purity and stable compositio...

We present tight binding molecular dynamics simulations of C60 collisions on the reconstructed diamond(111) surface, carried out with an O(N) method and with cells containing 1140 atoms. The results of our simulations are in very good agreement with experiments performed under the same impact conditions. Furthermore our calculations provide a detailed characterization of the microscopic process...

Results: The response rate was 89% (n=1140). One thousand and sixty four teachers (93.3%) responded to the knowledge part of the questionnaire. The study showed that the school teachers in Bahrain are deficient in diabetic knowledge. The mean knowledge score was 5.34. Married teachers, primary school teachers and female teachers had better knowledge than other teachers. Also, knowledge was rela...

A case of lethal overdose by heroin ingestion is presented. The concentrations of drugs were measured several hours after death. Heroin, 06-monoacetylmorphine, and morphine were identified and quantitated in blood, urine, and gastrointestinal contents by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography. Concentrations of heroin, 06-monoacetylmorphine, and morphine...

The purpose of this survey is to prove that the fixed point results for various multiplicative contractions are in fact equivalent to the corresponding fixed point results in (standard) metric spaces. For example, such are recent results established by He et al. (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2014:48, 2014), Mongkolkeha and Sintunavarat (J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 8:1134-1140, 2015) and Abdou (J. Nonli...

Variation among complete cytb sequences (1140 bp) of Aphanius mesopotamicus Coad, 2009 was compared with closely related species, to investigate the validity of this taxon as a newly-described tooth-carp based on morphological characteristics. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian likelihood trees supported the monophyly of A. mesopotamicus and its sister group relationship to A. sophiae. Some 10-16 ...
