It has been suggested that dietary composition plays a role in NAFLD pathogenesis; thus, changing dietary patterns may constitute a therapeutic resource even in the absence of weight reduction. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristic of suitable dietary pattern i...

Differential 2.2μm (K-band) luminosity functions are presented for a complete sample of 1570 nearby (Vgsr ≤ 3000 km/s, where Vgsr is the velocity measured with respect to the Galactic standard of rest), bright (K ≤ 10 mag), galaxies segregated by visible morphology. The K-band luminosity function for late-type spirals follows a power law that rises towards low luminosities whereas the K-band lu...

Data warehouse systems integrate data from heterogeneous sources. These sources are autonomous in nature and change independently of a data warehouse. Owing to changes in data sources, the content and the schema of a data warehouse may need to be changed for accurate decision making. Slowly changing dimensions and temporal data warehouses are the available solutions to manage changes in the con...
