A classical problem describing the collective motion of cells, is movement driven by consumption/depletion a nutrient. Here we analyze one simplest such model written as coupled Partial Differential Equation/Ordinary Equation system which scale so to get limit usually observed pattern. In this cell density concentrated moving Dirac mass and nutrient undergoes discontinuity. We first carry out a...

BACKGROUND Fuzzy logic, a mathematical approach, defines the percentage of desirability for recommended amount of food groups and describes the range of intakes, from deficiency to excess. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to find the best fuzzy dietary pattern that constraints energy and nutrients by the iterative algorithm. MATERIALS AND METHODS An index is derived that reflects...

The present study was conducted at ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru, India during 2018-2019 to quantify resource use efficiency in 11 genotypes of gladiolus propagated through cormels based on growth, biomass partitioning and nutrient removal pattern. Growth yield parameters differed significantly among genotypes. leaf number higher Arka Shobha (9.67) Manorama (9.00) than other (6.33-8.67). spike length Na...

The Mediterranean dietary pattern, through a healthy profile of fat intake, low proportion of carbohydrate, low glycemic index, high content of dietary fiber, antioxidant compounds, and anti-inflammatory effects, reduces the risk of certain pathologies, such as cancer or Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Nutritional adequacy is the comparison between the nutrient requirement and the intake of a cer...

Amid an increasing number of reports in the literature concerning epithelial barrier enhancement by various nutrient compounds, there has never been a study performing side-by-side comparisons of these agents in a single epithelial model. We compare five nutrient compounds (previously reported in various epithelial models to enhance barrier function) regarding their ability to increase transepi...

OBJECTIVE To examine the cross-sectional relationship between nutrient status and psychometric and imaging indices of brain health in dementia-free elders. METHODS Thirty plasma biomarkers of diet were assayed in the Oregon Brain Aging Study cohort (n = 104). Principal component analysis constructed nutrient biomarker patterns (NBPs) and regression models assessed the relationship of these wi...
