BACKGROUND Alternate day fasting (ADF; ad libitum "feed day", alternated with 25% energy intake "fast day"), is effective for weight loss and cardio-protection in obese individuals. Whether these effects occur in normal weight and overweight individuals remains unknown. This study examined the effect of ADF on body weight and coronary heart disease risk in non-obese subjects. METHODS Thirty-t...

The relation between alternate-day fasting (ADF) and cardioprotection remains uncertain. In the present study, we examined the ability of modified ADF, with a low-fat (LF) vs high-fat (HF) background diet, to modulate adipose tissue physiology in a way that may protect against coronary heart disease. In a 4-week study, male C57BL/6 mice were randomized to 1 of 3 groups: (1) ADF-85%-LF (85% ener...

11 to report this threat to Ms Tarasoff directly. However, the psychologist did tell his supervising psychiatrist, who reported the matter to the campus police, who interviewed Mr Poddar, but let him go. After the murder, the girl’s parents sued the psychologist (or, rather, his employer) for “failure to warn”, in that no warning was conveyed to their daughter. The trial Court held that no such...

continue to build very similar nests just as 'closed-ended' song learners that learn songs only in their first year of life do not subsequently change their songs. Where this is the case, one should expect nests of the same species to be very similar with as much variation within a bird as among birds. Although young weaver birds take longer and build less effective nests than do experienced bi...

An understanding of skin diseases, especially the common ones, is indispensable for the military doctor. In addition to describing the more common skin disorders that may be seen by military doctors, we present some of the history of dermatology in conflicts ove...

E. coli 0157:H7 is an emerging food-borne pathogen implicated in several outbreaks. Fecal shedding of the pathogen constitutes the mode of entry into the human food chain. We compared the influence of dietary acid-detergent fiber (ADF) concentration on fecal shedding of the pathogen and meat production efficiency of lambs. Fourteen growingfinishing Suffolk ram lambs averaging 28 1.3 kg in body ...

Easy missions is an approach to machine learning that seeks to synthesize solutions for complex tasks from those for simpler ones. ISLES (Incrementally Staged Learning from Easier Subtasks) [1] is a genetic programming (GP) technique that achieves this by using identified goals and fitness functions for subproblems of the overall problem. Solutions evolved for these subproblems are then reused ...
