and Applied Analysis 3 Letting λ = iω 1 (ω 1 > 0) be a root of (11), then we have m 1 ω 1 sin τ 1 ω 1 = p 2 ω 2 1 − n 0 , m 1 ω 1 cos τ 1 ω 1 = ω 3 1 − n 1 ω 1 . (12)

Obesity and homocysteine (tHcy) are important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Plasma omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 FAs) and omega-6 fatty acids (ω-6 FAs) are essential fatty acids with diverse biological effects in human health and disease. We have investigated the relation of plasma ω-3 FAs and ω-6 FAs levels with other cardiovascular risk factors including tHcy in severe obese subj...

Over the last century, intakes of omega-6 (ω-6) fatty acids in Western diets have dramatically increased, while omega-3 (ω-3) intakes have fallen. Resulting ω-6/ω-3 intake ratios have risen to nutritionally undesirable levels, generally 10 to 15, compared to a possible optimal ratio near 2.3. We report results of the first large-scale, nationwide study of fatty acids in U.S. organic and convent...

Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease of motor neurons that has no cure or effective treatment. Any approach that could sustain minor motor function during terminal stages would improve quality of life. Objective We examined the impact of omega-3 (Ω-3) and Ω-6, on motor neuron function in mice expressing mutant human superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1), which domi...

Objective In countries with traditionally low fish consumption such as Australia, foods enriched with ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 LCPUFA) may play a role in meeting ω-3 LCPUFA intakes for optimal health. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of replacing bread, egg, milk, and yogurt with ω-3 LCPUFA enrichment of these foods on total ω-3 LCPUFA intake in Australian c...

Runtime enforcement is a powerful technique to ensure that a program will respect a given security policy. We extend previous works on this topic in several directions. Firstly, we propose a generic notion of enforcement monitors based on a memory device and finite sets of control states and enforcement operations. Moreover, we specify their enforcement abilities w.r.t. the general safety-progr...

For a nonempty closed set Ω ⊂ AN with 2 ≤ #A < ∞, we consider 3 complexity functions of k = 0, 1, 2, · · · : (1) (block complexity) p Ω (k) := #Ω|{0,1,··· ,k−1}, (2) (maximal pattern complexity) pΩ(k) := supS⊂N, #S=k #Ω|S , (3) (minimal pattern complexity) p∗Ω(k) := infS⊂N, #S=k #Ω|S , where # denotes the number of elements in a set, and Ω|S is the restriction of Ω to S ⊂ N. If pΩ(k) = p∗Ω(k) (...

To the Editor: I agree with Kuratko that there is a need for tailored food frequency questionnaires (FFQ), particularly for nutrients that have limited food sources, such as long chain ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC ω-3 PUFA). Fish are the best food source of LC ω-3 PUFA, and oily fish such as sardines and Atlantic salmon contain approximately 10 times more LC ω-3 PUFA than lean fish, such...
