Over the last decade there has been a renewed interest in understanding the entrainment process in turbulent shear flows [5]. Even though there are differences between the way different shear flows (such as jets, wakes, boundary layers and shearfree flows) develop [14], the origin of these differences is not clear. Here, employing experimental data from an axisymmetric turbulent jet and a turbu...

STUDIES of the influence of diet on body metabolism have dealt with dietary composition for the most part. Recent evidence has suggested, however, that the daily pattern of ingestion of the diet also may play a significant role in the regulation of overall body metabolism. The manner in which the organism handles ingested foodstuffs is dependent, along with other factors, on whether the diet is...

Given a set of n points S in the plane, a triangulation T of S is a maximal set of non-crossing segments with endpoints in S. We present an algorithm that computes the number of triangulations on a given set of n points in time n(11+o(1)) √ , significantly improving the previous best running time of O(2nn2) by Alvarez and Seidel [SoCG 2013]. Our main tool is identifying separators of size O( √ ...

The flux of glucose carbon to total body fatty acids was measured in unanesthetized mice either after fasting or 50-80 min after they nibbled a small test meal containing 120 mg of glucose (fasted-refed). Flux was calculated from plasma [(14)C]glucose specific activity curves and from total body (14)C-labeled fatty acid 30 min after intravenous injection of tracer [(14)C]glucose. Mobilization o...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the linguistic validation of the Wisconsin Smoking Withdrawal Scale (WSWS) was to produce a translated version in Malay language which was "conceptually equivalent" to the original U.S. English version for use in clinical practice and research. METHODS A seven-member translation committee conducted the translation process using the following methodology: production o...
