The phytochemical constituents which comprise many edible berry fruits have increasingly been linked to modulation of biomarkers associated with conditions of diabetes, overweight/obesity, and cardiovascular disease (CVD), all components of metabolic syndrome. While many wild berries have long been valued in traditional medicine as health protective, it is only recently that the ability of berr...

In the presence of spin-orbit coupling and inversion symmetry of the lateral confinement potential a single electron does not exhibit matrix Berry phases in quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots. In such a system we investigate whether many-body correlation effects can lead to finite matrix Berry phases. We find that the transformation properties of many-electron wavefunctions under ...

The rare genetically determined disease now known as Hurler's syndrome, characterized by dwarfism, grotesque skeletal deformity, limitation of joint movement, deafness, hepatosplenomegaly, cardiac abnormality, characteristic facies, and perhaps clouding of the cornea and mental retardation (McKusick, 1960), was first described by Hunter (1917). For some years, the substance that accumulates in ...

Cells in intermediate and deeper layers of the pigeon optic tectum respond best when a textured background pattern is moved in the opposite direction to a moving test spot. Complete inhibition occurs when the background moves in the same direction as the test stimulus. Most noteworthy is the invariance of this relationship over a wide range of test spot directions. These cells represent a highe...

We derive a nonparametric test for constant beta over a fixed time interval from high-frequency observations of a bivariate Itô semimartingale. Beta is defined as the ratio of the spot continuous covariation between an asset and a risk factor and the spot continuous variation of the latter. The test is based on the asymptotic behavior of the covariation between the risk factor and an estimate o...

Ellagitannins from red raspberries (Rubus idaeus) and cloudberries (Rubus chamaemorus) were isolated by using column chromatography and preparative HPLC. The berry phenolic isolates consisted of 80% (cloudberry) and of 60% (raspberry) of ellagitannins, with raspberries also containing anthocyanins. The main ellagitannins of both raspberries and cloudberries were identified by ESI-MS to consist ...
