OBJECTIVE To examine the seroprevalence, correlates, and characteristics of undetected coeliac disease in a large adult population sample in Cambridge, UK. METHODS The Cambridge General Practice Health Study invited individuals from 12 general practices, aged 45-76 years, to attend for a health survey that included a bone density measurement, between 1990 and 1995. A total of 7550 participant...

Context: Stroke has several consequences on survivors' daily life even for those who experience short-lasting neurological symptoms with no functional disability. Depression and anxiety are common psychological disorders occurring after a stroke. They affect long-term outcomes and quality of life but they are difficult to diagnose because of the neurobiological consequences of brain lesions. Cu...

Nocker and Camper reported that DNA from dead bacterial cells (Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium) treated with ethidium monoazide (EMA) is lost during the DNA extraction procedure (2). This was concluded from the missing or less intense DNA band on an agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide in comparison to the intensities of bands in untreated samples. Acco...

this paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (ema) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (ceed) problems in thermal power plants. the ema is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. existence of two seeking operators in ema provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. in order to show the capabilities ...

As the aviation industry evolves toward nextgeneration fly-by-wire vehicles, hydraulic and electrohydrostatic actuators (EHA) are replaced with their electro-mechanical counterparts. By eliminating fluid leakage problems while reducing weight and enhancing vehicle control, the feasibility of electromechanical actuators (EMA) in avionic applications has been established. However, due to the inhe...

Park), spark@jn Various electromagnetic based actuation (EMA) methods have been proposed for the actuation of microrobots. The advantage of EMA is that it can generate a wireless driving force for the microrobot, and this i...

In July and August 2014, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) organised two public consultations concerning European pharmacovigilance. These two consultations reveal a number of EMA proposals that are counterproductive to the objective of improving transparency over pharmacovigilance data. The EMA's proposals offer pharmaceutical companies an opportunity to participate in public hearings held b...

The paper investigates the relation between the parameters of an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model and its equivalent moving average (EMA) model. On the basis of this relation, a new method is proposed for determining the ARMA model parameters from the coefficients of a finite-order EMA model. This method is a three-step approach: in the first step, a simple recursion relating the EMA ...

2,2-Bis[4-(2-methacryloxyethoxy)phenyl] propane (bisEMA; CAS 24448-20-2) is an epoxy methacrylate that was developed as a substitute for another epoxy methacrylate, 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropoxy) phenyl]propane (bis-GMA; CAS 1565-94-2), used in dental composite resins. In the 2012 Finnish Product Register of Chemicals, bis-EMA appears in some anaerobic glues and in one gelcoat. Som...
