OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether screening for anxiety and depression, an emerging risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D), adds clinically meaningful information beyond current T2D risk assessment tools. DESIGN Prospective cohort. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING The 45 and Up Study is a large-scale prospective cohort of men and women aged 45 years and over, randomly sampled from the genera...

Using computer algorithms we establish that the Ramsey number R(3,K10− e) is equal to 37, which solves the smallest open case for Ramsey numbers of this type. We also obtain new upper bounds for the cases of R(3,Kk − e) for 11 ≤ k ≤ 16, and show by construction a new lower bound 55 ≤ R(3,K13 − e). The new upper bounds on R(3,Kk − e) are obtained by using the values and lower bounds on e(3,Kl − ...

Background: Studying medicine is quite challenging as medical students have to work hours and which leads continuous psychological stress a result decrease in sleep duration quality. This study aims determine the prevalence well relationship of academic pattern sleeping problems among students.
 Subjects Methods: In this cross-sectional study,128 non-obese (18 -23 years old, BMI=18.5-24.9)...

Demands are increasing for micro axis-symmetric aspherical lenses to be installed in various optical devices. The micro glass lenses are generally molded by glass press process with micro aspheric ceramic molding dies or molds made of tungsten carbide or silicon carbide. These dies and molds are mostly ground with micro diamond wheels, but require additional finishing process as the size of the...

The K1 and K10 associated genodermatoses are characterized by clinical symptoms of mild to severe redness, blistering and hypertrophy of the skin. In this paper, we set out to computationally investigate the structural and functional effects of missense mutations on the 2B domain of K1/K10 heterodimer and its consequences in disease phenotype. We modeled the structure of the K1/K10 heterodimer ...

Cemented carbides, including coated cemented carbides, account for 75% of the cutting tools market because of their features such as high hardness, toughness, and the responsiveness to iron, through the use of tungsten carbide for their main hard phases and cobalt for their bonding metals. The consumption of tungsten continues to increase as the amount of carbide tool production increases with ...

This paper studies the security of a recently-proposed image encryption scheme based on chaos, and points out the following problems: 1) there exist a number of invalid keys and weak keys, and some keys are partially equivalent for the encryption/decryption processes; 2) given one chosen plain-image, a sub-key K10 can be guessed with a smaller computational complexity than that of the simple br...

This paper describes the tool life prediction model with end milling EN31 tool steel using P30 Tungsten uncoated carbide tool. The data set from the Taguchi method design is taken. For discussion the effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on tool life of P30 are considered. This paper suggests a novel technique for the tool wear measurement based on machine vision. Tool images are...

Keratin 10 (K10) is a type I keratin that is expressed in post-mitotic suprabasal keratinocytes of the skin. Based on cell culture experiments and transgenic mouse studies, it has been proposed that K10 suppresses cell proliferation and tumor formation in the skin. Furthermore, the ability of K10 to suppress cell proliferation was mapped to its unique N- and C-terminal protein domains. In the p...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether human endogenous retrovirus K10 is associated with autoimmune rheumatic disease. DESIGN A novel multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) system was developed to investigate HERV-K10 mRNA expression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS 40 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 17 with osteoarthritis, and 27 healthy individuals wer...
