BACKGROUND trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) in mothers during pregnancy and in their infants at birth. METHODS Fatty acid composition of erythrocyte phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosp...

Announcements at railway stations are a major information source for passengers. In order to ensure high intelligibility, the traditional solution is to use recorded prompts with “slot filling” of variable data. If a data type (e.g. train name) changes new recordings have to be made. Even with careful design the quality of the system will gradually deteriorate due to change of the voice of the ...

Studies were conducted to assess the response of hot pepper cultivars for yield and quality in the local soil and climatic conditions of the US Virgin Islands. Seven cultivars namely `Ring of Fire’, `Compadre’, `Camino Real’, `Jalapeno M’, `Caribbean Red’, `Hungarian Yellow Hot Wax’, and `Aguila Real’ were tested in the field.Significant differences were observed in cultivars for marketable fru...

In his article "A Female Adolescent Bystander's Diary and the Jewish Hungarian Holocaust" Gergely Kunt analyzes the unpublished diary manuscript of Margit Molnár, a Hungarian Roman Catholic adolescent girl born in 1927 who kept a diary between 1941 and 1949. Kunt's analysis shows how Molnár viewed Jews, the persecution of Jews, and the anti-Jewish terror in Budapest. As the diary documents, Mol...

The structure of the Hungarian agriculture should be changed before the EU accession. The new structure should fill the requirements of the EU and beside this it should produce competitive products. Unconventional products (mushroom, fish, honey etc.) have a lot of advantages: they can be produced in small farms, their trade is mainly free of regulations and their market is almost unlimited. Th...

Languages with primarily delimitative function of word stress commonly make use of accentual phrases (APs) in their intonational phonology (e.g. Tamil or French). Slovak and Hungarian are genetically unrelated but geographically close languages with word-initial lexical stress. In this paper we compared the stylised f0 of single accent groups (AGs) with the f0 level pattern of the entire intona...

Via a variety of measurements, 64 Hungarian native speakers in the 12th grade learning English as a foreign language in Slovakia were tested in a cross-sectional correlational study in order to determine the relationship between the ability to process complex syntax and foreign language reading comprehension. The test instruments involved a standardized reading comprehension test in English, an...

Neural architecture is a purely numeric framework, which fits the data as a continuous function. However, lacking of logic flow (e.g. if, for, while), traditional algorithms (e.g. Hungarian algorithm, A∗ searching, decision tress algorithm) could not be embedded into this paradigm, which limits the theories and applications. In this paper, we reform the calculus graph as a dynamic process, whic...

Heritabilities and genetic correlations between weaning weight (WW) and average daily gain (ADG) for the Hungarian Merino, Ile de France, Charollais, German Mutton Merino, German Blackheaded, Texel, Fleisch Merino and Suffolk were studied. The selection of replacements is based on the two traits. The amount of records provided by the Hungarian Sheep Breeder’s Association and by the Hungarian Ag...
