Background: Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a recently discovered NAD precursor vitamin with a unique biosynthetic pathway. Although the presence of NR in cowmilk has been known for more than a decade, the concentration of NR with respect to the other NAD precursors was unknown. Objective:We aimed to determine NAD precursor vitamin concentration in raw samples of milk from individual cows and fro...

Reactive N (Nr) releases are closely linked with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the simultaneous evaluation of them can help to develop overall effective mitigation options. In this study, we evaluated the characteristics of the Nr and GHG releases from staple food (rice, flour and corn-based fodder) production in China (2001-2010) and explored their mitigation potential. Results showed th...

This paper reports a new procedure for specifying monochromatic nonradiating ~NR! current distributions ~NR sources! and the electric and magnetic fields they produce ~NR fields!. Vector spherical harmonics and a Fourier–Bessel series are used to derive a new vector spherical-wave expansion for continuous NR fields confined within a spherical volume. The analysis yields complete orthogonal sets...

Knowledge of how executive functions relate to preferred hearing aid (HA) processing is sparse and seemingly inconsistent with related knowledge for speech recognition outcomes. This study thus aimed to find out if (1) performance on a measure of reading span (RS) is related to preferred binaural noise reduction (NR) strength, (2) similar relations exist for two different, non-verbal measures o...

BACKGROUND Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a recently discovered NAD(+) precursor vitamin with a unique biosynthetic pathway. Although the presence of NR in cow milk has been known for more than a decade, the concentration of NR with respect to the other NAD(+) precursors was unknown. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine NAD(+) precursor vitamin concentration in raw samples of milk from individual c...

Background: Protective immune responses induced in the majority of people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis enable them to control TB infection. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate CD56 and CD16 positive peripheral blood mononu-clear cells (PBMCs) and leukocyte subsets from multi-drug resistant pulmonary tuber-culosis (MDR-TB), and compare them with nonresistant (NR) TB p...
