Recent studies demonstrated that interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) plays an important role in metabolic effects. To investigate whether IL1RN polymorphisms are associated with obesity, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL1RN gene [rs4251961 (-828, T> C) and rs315952 (Ser133Ser)] were analyzed in 122 overweigh/obese and 123 control subjects. Overweigh/obese subjects were...

The influence of dipping in hot salt solution on water absorption in nylon6 composites with dispersed aluminum powders was investigated. Dipping in hot salt solution (3mass%NaCl in distilled water) for 10 s at 373K increased the overweight of composite samples, whereas the addition of aluminum with dispersed powders (A1-addition) from zero to 40 vol%Al decreased the overweigh of the sample. Bas...

This paper introduces how green marketing influences the sustainable development of garment industry. It analyses the cost and profit to implement green marketing, both in a short term and in the long run. In a short term the cost may increase. However, in the long run, the income will overweigh the cost. There’re five reasons: reduced cost, expanding export by broking down green barriers, esta...

Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD), defined in 2017, is a vestibular disorder characterized by chronic that exacerbated upright posture and exposure to complex visual stimuli. This review focused on recent neuroimaging studies explored the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PPPD three conditions predated it. The emerging picture local activity functional connectivity multimod...

In many settings, individuals are confronted with decision problems that involve information relevant to their self-image. This paper uses an experiment to explore whether the selfrelevance of information influences information processing. The experiment implements two information processing tasks that are identical from a theoretical perspective, but differ in the type of information provided:...

Iterative and incremental development seems to be a viable approach providing several benefits in interorganizational distributed software development. This paper presents initial results from an interview study on the usage of iterative and incremental development in interorganizational distributed software development projects. We describe identified practices, such as delivery synchronizatio...
