CONTEXT Brain Iron Deposits (IDs) are associated with neurodegenerative diseases and impaired cognitive function in later life, but their cause is unknown. Animal studies have found evidence of relationships between dietary iron, calorie and cholesterol intake and brain iron accumulation. OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between iron, calorie, and cholesterol intake, blood indicator...

Context: Brain Iron Deposits (IDs) are associated with neurodegenerative diseases and impaired cognitive function in later life, but their cause is unknown. Animal studies have found evidence of relationships between dietary iron, calorie and cholesterol intake and brain iron accumulation.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) arebecoming increasingly popular, and very useful in militaryapplications and environmental monitoring. However,security is a major challenge for WSNs because they areusually setup in unprotected environments. Our goal in thisstudy is to simulate an Intrusion Detection System (IDS)that monitors the WSN and report intrusions accurately andeffectively. We have thus...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of psychological therapies for people with intellectual disabilities (IDs) through a systematic review and meta-analysis of the current literature. A comprehensive literature search identified 143 intervention studies. Twenty-two trials were eligible for review, and 14 of these were subsequently included in the meta-analysis. Many studies did n...

Biodegradation tests according to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development standard 301F (manometric respirometry test) with technical iminodisuccinate (IDS) revealed ready biodegradability for all stereoisomers of IDS. The IDS-degrading strain Agrobacterium tumefaciens BY6 was isolated from activated sludge. The strain was able to grow on each IDS isomer as well as on Fe(2+)-, Mg(...

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) still prevail as an important line of defense in modern computing environments. Cloud environment characteristics such resource sharing, extensive connectivity, and agility deploying new applications pose security risks that are increasingly exploited. New technologies like container platforms require IDS to evolve effectively detect intrusive activities these ...

BACKGROUND Depression with fewer symptoms than required for a DSM-IV diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) has consistently been found to be associated with functional impairment. In this study, we aim to define clinically significant depression below the DSM-IV threshold for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) by means of functional impairment. METHODS Data used are from 2157 respondents ...
