J Adv Pract Oncol 2012;3:191–193 Malnutrition is evident in 30% to 90% of patients with cancer at some point during their disease course (Molina, Yang, Cassivi, Schild, & Adjei, 2008; Nitenberg & Raynard, 2000; Read et al., 2005). Significant weight loss (> 10% of body weight) increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in individuals with cancer (Bozzetti, 2009; Dewys et al., 1980; Nitenberg...

Prevention and/or protection against chemical carcinogens by phytochemicals present in extensively consumed glucosinolate-containing cruciferous vegetables is of great of interest, as they provide a safe and cost effective means of combating cancer. Extensive epidemiological studies revealed repeatedly an inverse relationship between cruciferous vegetable consumption and the incidence of cancer...

Investors frequently hold equity in tax-exempt savings vehicles such as pension plans, despite the prediction of the standard model that they hold only bonds. We provide a new explanation for this empirical puzzle based on differences between pensions and taxable assets in the tax treatment of capital losses. We show how limits on refundability of losses on taxable equities leads to diversity o...

I. A Brief History of Optimization Research: The history of optimization of realvalued non-linear functions (including linear ones), unconstrained or constrained, goes back to Gottfried Leibniz, Isaac Newton, Leonhard Euler and Joseph Lagrange. However, those mathematicians often assumed differentiability of the optimand as well as constraint functions. Moreover, they often dealt with the equal...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to repress gene expression in mammalian species by forming Watson-Crick (WC) base-pairing to the 3′ UTR regions of the target mRNA transcripts (Friedman et al. [2009]). The binding primarily occurs at the 2-7 nucleotide (nt) positions from the 5′ end of the miRNA, which is termed as the “seed" and the binding as the “seed match" (Lewis et al. [2003]). MicroRNA regul...

Eski Roma ve Doğu’nun kültürel mirasından yararlanarak; sanat, bilim, felsefe mimarlıkta eskiyle olan bağlarını yeniden inşa ederek Rönesans’ı yaşayan Avrupalılar, aynı zamanda diğer halklar üzerinde bir üstünlük duygusu hissetmeye başladılar. Zamanla bu üstünlüğün kökenini Hıristiyan oluşlarına, “Avrupalılık”a Antik Yunan atalarına bağladılar. Avrupamerkezci yazarların da bazıları edindikleri ...
