Obesity is linked to increased risk of colon cancer, currently the third most common cancer. Consequently rising levels of obesity worldwide are likely to significantly impact on obesityrelated colon cancers in the decades to come. Understanding the molecular mechanisms whereby obesity increases colon cancer risk is thus a focus for research to inform strategies to prevent the increasing trend ...

The reaction between O atoms and CO molecules on Pd 111 was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy STM . CO was dosed on the 2 2 O-covered surface at temperatures between 100 and 190 K, and the structure changes were monitored by STM. CO adsorption causes compression of the 2 2 O overlayer into islands of the 2 1 O structure, followed by reaction of the O atoms to give CO2. The 2 2 O ove...

Freedman [Adv. in Appl. Math. 40 (2008) 180–193; Ann. Appl. Stat. 2 (2008) 176–196] critiqued ordinary least squares regression adjustment of estimated treatment effects in randomized experiments, using Neyman’s model for randomization inference. Contrary to conventional wisdom, he argued that adjustment can lead to worsened asymptotic precision, invalid measures of precision, and small-sample ...

Using Spanish-English bilingual Latino-Americans, this study tested whether priming Latino or American cultural representations facilitated the accessibility of the Spanish meaning or English meaning of Spanish-English homographs. Seventy-four participants were randomly assigned to a Latino prime, American prime, or no prime condition. After being primed, subjects performed an English lexical d...

Background: Numerous cross-sectional epidemiological studies on the incidence of workplace epicondylitis have generally, but not always, revealed a higher risk ailment in relation with strenuous manual tasks. Methods: A study was conducted Lahore. The data acquired from chefs who worked different restaurants. research used Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation as its survey method (PRTEE). Part...

The best entertainment for the younger generation now is given in the form of Social Networking sites. The Online Social Networks (OSN) mainly helps an individual to connect with their friends, family and the society online in order to gather and share new experiences with others. Nowa-days, the OSNs are facing the problem of the people posting the indecent messages on any individual's wall whi...

We present a brief report on the factorization of RSA-180, currently smallest unfactored RSA number. We show that the numbers of similar size could be factored in a reasonable time at home using open source factoring software running on a few Intel Core i7 PCs.

The 180 models collected in this paper are produced by sampling and wrapping point sets on tubes. The surfaces are represented as triangulated 2-manifolds and available as stlfiles from the author’s web site at www.cs.duke.edu/ edels. Each tube is obtained by thickening a circle or a smooth torus knot, and for some we use the degrees of freedom in the thickening process to encode meaningful inf...

In applications of NMR in inhomogeneous fields, sequences based on the Carr-PurcellMeiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence play a central role. The standard CPMG sequence consists of an initial 90° excitation pulse, followed by a long string of 180° refocusing pulses. This creates a series of echoes that decay with characteristic relaxation time T2eff. Here we present a modified sequence, the Split-180° s...
