BACKGROUND Limited data are available on smoking-related mortality in low-income countries, where both chronic disease burden and prevalence of smoking are increasing. METHODS Using data on 20,033 individuals in the Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS) in Bangladesh, we prospectively evaluated the association between tobacco smoking and all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular di...

p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) is a histone acetyltransferase that plays an important role in the remodeling of chromatin and the regulation of gene expression. It has been shown to catalyze preferentially acetylation of the epsilon-amino group of lysine 14 in histone H3. In this study, the kinetic mechanism of PCAF was evaluated with a 20-amino acid peptide substrate derived from the amino ...

BACKGROUND Diarrhea control programs require evidences on factors which influence the caregiver's treatment of illness. Thus, understanding the caregiver's perception of the causes and management of diarrhea is very essential to plan effective prevention and control measures. This study aimed to explore their perceptions towards the causes and management of childhood diarrhea in Assosa district...

OBJECTIVES: Targeting physical activity (PA) is a mainstay in obesity treatment, but its BMI benefits are poorly quantified. We studied longterm predictive PA-BMI relationships in overweight/obese children presenting to primary care. METHODS: Three-year follow-up of 182 overweight/obese 5to 10-yearolds recruited from 45 Melbourne general practices. Predictor: 7-day accelerometry (counts per min...

Stone-type duality theorems, which relate algebraic and relational/topological models, are important tools in logic because — in addition to elegant abstraction — they strengthen soundness and completeness to a categorical equivalence, yielding a framework through which both algebraic and topological methods can be brought to bear on a logic. We give a systematic treatment of Stone-type duality...

Let A = {ao, ... , ae-d, B = {bO, ••• , be-d be two finite sequences of length £. Their nonperiodic autocorrelation function N A,B (s) is defined as: £-1-8 £-1-8 NA,B(S) = L aiai+s + L bibi+s' S = 0, ... , £ 1, i=O i=O where x* is the complex conjugate of x. If NA,B(S) = ° for S = 1, ... , £-1 then A, B is called a complementary pair. If, furthermore, ai, bi E {-I, I}, i = 0, ... , £-1, or, ai,...
