OBJECTIVES To evaluate the difference of iodine nutritional status between rural and urban residents under the universal salt iodisation policy. SETTING A multistage cluster sampling technique was employed in the present cross-sectional study. In total, 3300 rural and 3300 urban households were selected where the investigation was conducted. PARTICIPANTS A total of 8553 rural and 8909 urban...

This data article contains information on the distribution of household incomes in the five most populous European countries as surveyed in 2012, with data released in 2014 and published here aggregated and so further anonymized in 2015. The underlying source data is the already anonymized EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EUSILC) Microdata. The data include the annual household in...

We have examined the effects of 11 substitutions of active centre gorge residues of human acetylcholinesterase (HuAChE) on the rates of phosphonylation by 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl methyl-phosphonofluoridate (soman) and the aging of the resulting conjugates. The rates of phosphonylation were reduced to as little as one-seventieth, mainly in mutants of the hydrogen-bond network (Glu-202, Glu-450, Ty...

The pyriform silk of the attachment disc a spider was studied using infrared-visible vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. can attach dragline and radial lines to many kinds substrates in nature (concrete, alloy, metal, glass, plant branches, leaves, etc.) with disc. adhesion bear spider's own weight, resist wind on its orb web. From our SFG spectroscopy study, NH group argin...

Designing high-efficiency photocatalyst for photocatalytic water splitting is a considerable challenge. Herein, new Mn3O4/g-C3N4 p-n heterostructure prepared by an in-situ growth method. The introduction of Mn3O4 can enhance light absorption ability g-C3N4. exhibits outstanding activity hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiency ~2700 ?mol g?1h?1 at ? > 420 nm. For the separate reactions H2 a...

This paper presents the design of a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for fifth-generation (5G) smartphone that will work in dual-band. The proposed this operates at 2 frequency ranges, i.e., (3300-3600) MHz (4800-5000) MHz. consists four antennas are placed perpendicular to edge system makes it different from traditional 5G antennas. area each on side frames is (3.9×17 mm), hen...

OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence of neutropenic complications in patients receiving chemotherapy for advanced-stage non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), to predict which patients are at high risk for neutropenic complications and to develop an economic model for subsequent testing to assess the potential cost-effectiveness of prophylactic treatment with recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimul...
