OBJECTIVE The hypothesis of carotenoid having a preventive role in diabetes is suggested by their antioxidant properties. In this report, we investigated the relationship between baseline total plasma carotenoid levels and 9-year onset of dysglycemia (impaired fasting glucose or type 2 diabetes) in a healthy elderly population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Epidemiology of Vascular Ageing S...

We apply the Padé technique to find rational approximations to h±(q1, q2) = ∞ ∑ k=1 q 1 1± q 2 , 0 < q1, q2 < 1, q1 ∈ Q, q2 = 1/p2, p2 ∈ N \ {1}. A separate section is dedicated to the special case qi = q ri , ri ∈ N, q = 1/p, p ∈ N \ {1}. In this construction we make use of little q-Jacobi polynomials. Our rational approximations are good enough to prove the irrationality of h(q1, q2) and give...

We show that for every fixed A > 0 and θ > 0 there is a θ = θ(A, θ) > 0 with the following property. Let n be odd and sufficiently large, and let Q1 = Q2 := n 1/2(log n)−θ and Q3 := (log n) θ. Then for all q3 ≤ Q3, all reduced residues a3 mod q3, almost all q2 ≤ Q2, all admissible residues a2 mod q2, almost all q1 ≤ Q1 and all admissible residues a1 mod q1, there exists a representation n = p1+...

Posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression by mRNA-binding proteins is critical for neuronal development and function. hnRNP-Q1 is an mRNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA processing events, including translational repression. hnRNP-Q1 is highly expressed in brain tissue, suggesting a function in regulating genes critical for neuronal development. In this study, we have identified Gro...

In [3], Keisler proves that if Q1 is a nonstandard model of the complete theory Th(Q) of (Q;+;×; 0; 1) and C1 is the algebraic closure of Q1, then (C1; Q1) is elementarily equivalent to (C;Q) where C is the algebraic closure of Q. But if Q r 1 is the real closure of Q1 and Qr the real closure of Q, then it is observed in [1] that (Q r 1; Q1) ≡(Qr ;Q). Victor Harnik asked the following question:...

By using RNA-immunoprecipitation assay following next-generation sequencing, a group of cell cycle-related genes targeted by hnRNP Q1 were identified, including Aurora-A kinase. Overexpressed hnRNP Q1 can upregulate Aurora-A protein, but not alter the mRNA level, through enhancing the translational efficiency of Aurora-A mRNA, either in a cap-dependent or -independent manner, by interacting wit...

TFIID is a multiprotein complex consisting of the TATA box binding protein and multiple tightly associated proteins (TAFIIs) that are required for transcription by selected activators. We previously reported cloning and partial characterization of human TAFII130 (hTAFII130). The central domain of hTAFII130 contains four glutamine-rich regions, designated Q1 to Q4, that are involved in interacti...

(1) Let P, Q be subsets of E2 T, p1, p2, q1 be points of E2 T, f be a map from I into (E2 T) P, and s1 be a real number. Suppose that P is an arc from p1 to p2 and q1 ∈ P and q1 ∈ Q and f (s1) = q1 and f is a homeomorphism and f (0) = p1 and f (1) = p2 and 0 ≤ s1 and s1 ≤ 1 and for every real number t such that 0 ≤ t and t < s1 holds f (t) / ∈ Q. Let g be a map from I into (E2 T) P and s2 be a ...
