Fabrication of hierarchically porous carbon materials (HPCs) with high surface area and pore volume has always been pursued. However, the currently effective template methods and acid/base activation strategies suffer from the drawbacks of either high costs or tedious steps. Herein, HPCs with 3D macro-mesopores and short-range meso-micropores were fabricated via an easy and sustainable two-step...

We have searched for X-ray jets in the recent Chandra observations of three Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasars at redshift z ≈ 6. All 3 quasars were detected in X-rays in these relatively short observations. SDSS1030+0524 is not consistent with a point source, and may be a gravitationally lensed system. We find a possible jet-like feature 23 from the quasar SDSS 1306+0356. We can explain t...

Background and Purpose Cost-effectiveness analyses of stroke management are hampered by paucity of economic data. We made an update of the direct and indirect costs of stroke in Sweden (population, 8.5 million). Methods Direct costs (ie, the costs for hospital and outpatient care and social services) were estimated on the basis of two prospective population-based studies of stroke and of two na...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between calcium intake and dairy product consumption with overweight and obesity in young adults. METHODS The sample used in this study consisted of 1306 young adults, ages 19-38 years, who participated in the 1995-1996 young adult survey. Analysis was performed with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for ethnicity-gender groups separately. RESULTS No signi...

The inability of insulin to suppress hepatic glucose production (HGP) is a key defect found in type 2 diabetes. Insulin inhibits HGP through both direct and indirect means, the latter of which include inhibition of glucagon secretion, reduction in plasma nonesterified fatty acid level, decrease in the load of gluconeogenic substrates reaching the liver, and change in neural signaling to the liv...

De Ley, J. (State University, Ghent, Belgium), and S. Friedman. Similarity of Xanthomonas and Pseudomonas deoxyribonucleic acid. J. Bacteriol. 89:1306-1309. 1965.-Pronounced deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hybridization was detected with the DNA-agar method within the group of Xanthomonas and between Xanthomonas and Pseudomonas. Sheared, denatured C(14)-DNA from X. pelargonii hybridized 80 to 100% ...

Ten annual cohorts of men suffering from their first myocardial infarction have been followed up to a maximum period of 10.5 years. One thousand and twenty-three male patients of 1306 were smokers. Three months after the infarction 55% had stopped smoking and 45% continued smoking. These two groups were then compared and followed with regard to non-fatal reinfarctions and deaths. Preinfarction ...
