The two-phase issue in the O(n) non-linear σ-model: a Monte-Carlo study Our paper [1] has motivated a comment [2] by A. Patrascioiu and E. Seiler which we reply in this note. The remarks in [2] concern three statements that the authors select from our paper: i) " The results for O(8) support the asymptotic freedom scenario ". The authors in [2] argue that at small˜β ≡ β/8 the O(8) is expected t...

There are no translations available. The inviolable assumption that obesity is simply a thermodynamic problem of calories in/calories out is being dissembled by the science linking environmental t oxins to obesity and diabetes. Exposure to environmental toxins in the absence of increased caloric intake induces weight gain and insulin resistance. Stated simply, toxins are an invisible, unappreci...

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a critical folate-metabolising enzyme which requires riboflavin as its co-factor. A common polymorphism (677C T) in the MTHFR gene results in reduced MTHFR activity in vivo which in turn leads to impaired folate metabolism and elevated homocysteine concentrations. Homozygosity for this polymorphism (TT genotype) is associated with an increased risk...
