Prospective studies on the association of green tea with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence were scarce. This study examined whether green tea can reduce CHD incidence and have a beneficial effect on CHD-related risk markers in middle-aged and older Chinese population. We included 19,471 participants who were free of CHD, stroke or cancer at baseline from September 2008 to June 2010...

Green tea is a commonly consumed beverage in China. Epidemiological and animal data suggest tea and tea polyphenols may be preventive against various cancers, including breast cancer. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) catalyzes catechol estrogens and tea polyphenols. The COMT rs4680 AA genotype leads to lower COMT activity, which may affect the relationship between green tea consumption and b...

Our objective was to determine whether the consumption of green tea, coffee, or black tea influences the incidence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older people. We conducted a population-based prospective study with Japanese residents aged >60 years from Nakajima, Japan (the Nakajima Project). Participants received an evaluation of cognitive function and blood tests. The cons...

BACKGROUND There is still conflicting evidence that green tea may protect against coronary atherosclerosis therefore the present study investigated the association between green tea consumption and arteriographically determined coronary atherosclerosis in a Chinese population. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population consisted of 520 consecutive patients (379 men and 141 women) who underwent ...

With the predominance of mobile devices, rising energy costs, and an awareness of green practices,power consumption has become a major concern for design engineers. When power consumption is analyzed, it breaks down into two main components: static or leakage power, which occurs naturally when components are idle and powered on; and dynamic power, which is the power consumed when components are...

Wireless networking allows users to access information and services regardless of location and physical infrastructure. It is a fast growing technology due to its availability of wireless devices, flexibility, ease of installation and configuration. With this rapid expansion of information and Communication Technology (ICT), the consumption of energy is also increasing. In the early age of wire...

this paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (wsn). the proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. the mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. the mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor nodes. h...

background food and nutrient are known as main environmental risk factor of esophageal cancer. we investigated food items consumption pattern of people who live in high risk area in golestan province. materials and methods we investigated food consumption pattern of more than 30 years old gonbad and kalale's people who recruited in golestan cohort study. assessment carried out with validated 11...

Cloud computing provides the opportunity to migrate virtual machines to “follow-the-green” data centres. That is, to migrate virtual machines between green data centres on the basis of clean energy availability, to mitigate the environmental impact of carbon footprint emissions and energy consumption. The virtual machine migration problem can be modelled to maximize the utility of computing res...
