OBJECTIVE Animal and cross-sectional epidemiological studies suggest a link between air pollution and diabetes, whereas the limited prospective data show mixed results. We studied the association between long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and incidence of diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We followed 57,053 participants of the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort in the...

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is one such treatment that reconstructs neo-bone tissue by using a barrier membrane to prevent the invasion of soft tissue and to create a space for guiding new bone growth into the bone defect. Herein, we report a novel functionally graded bilayer membrane (FGBM) for GBR application. To fabricate the novel membrane, the composites of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)...

the potential energy hyper surfaces (fes) of the unimolecular rearrangements of a) nitromethane itei totrans acknitromethane b) nitrometharie (/) to methyl nitrite (3) and c) naromethane decomposition tomethyl and nitrogen dioxide were searched using the ab !nth° mp2 method. split valence 6-310(d.p) basisset was used for geometry optimizations, frequency and 1rc computations along each reaction...

The characteristics of an oppositely placed double potential barrier photodetector structure were investigated under longitudinal illumination. functional abilities the silicon n+-p-n+ studied choice impurity concentration in n+- and p- regions provided difference heights barriers near-surface, rear, directed their conjoining high-resistance p-base. widths depletion these varied with a step cha...

an experimental study of the phase inversion behavior of liquid-liquid dispersion has been conducted in a spray extraction column for systems of toluene / water, n-hexane/water, ccl4/water, toluene /water + glycerol (25 % wt), toluene + ccl4 (25 % wt) / water and toluene / acetic acid (5 % wt)/water. the effects of physical properties, mass transfer and column geometry on phase inversion have b...

No-till management is a proven practice for increasing soil organic matter in many environments. By matter, no-till may increase N mineralization, potentially reducing crop demand fertilizer relative to inversion tillage. In this study, we hypothesized that, tillage (moldboard plowing), long-term would: i) total stocks, ii) mineralized during the growing season, iii) grain yield and uptake, iv)...

Pericentric inversion of the human Y chromosome has been reported infrequently but it is known to be an inherited anomaly. Several individuals with such an inversion had concomitant karyotypic irregularities, amongst which trisomy 21, gonosome mosaicism, and the 47,XXY karyotype were common (Sparkes, Muller, and Veomett, 1970). This led to speculation that inversion of the Y chromosome signalle...

background: psychological and behavioral domains are important in coping with type ii diabetes. this study was conducted to assess supportive and coping obstacles in living with type ii diabetes among patients who visited hospitals affiliated to tehran university of medical sciences (tums). methods: this was a cross-sectional study with 600 subjects who participated in the study. data collectio...

This concern also applies to filter components and housings. Pall recognizes the importance of proper material selection, cleanliness standards, housing surface preparation, and specialized manufacturing processes with regard to product quality. Our knowledge allowed us to introduce practices that have become industry standards. All Pall Gaskleen filter assemblies are packaged in special double...
