BACKGROUND Genetically engineered "Golden Rice" contains up to 35 microg beta-carotene per gram of rice. It is important to determine the vitamin A equivalency of Golden Rice beta-carotene to project the potential effect of this biofortified grain in rice-consuming populations that commonly exhibit low vitamin A status. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the vitamin A value of intrinsic...

Since at least the time of the Ancient Greeks, scholars have argued about whether the golden section-a number approximately equal to 0.618-holds the key to the secret of beauty. Empirical investigations of the aesthetic properties of the golden section date back to the very origins of scientific psychology itself, the first duties being conducted by Fechner in the 1860s. In this paper historica...

Two main concerns for patients are establishment vertical dimension new position occlusal plane. divine proportio...

We propose a generalization of the golden section based on division in mean and extreme ratio. The associated integer sequences have many interesting properties. 1. GENERALIZED GOLDEN RATIOS There have been many generalizations of the number known as golden ratio or golden section, φ = 1+ √ 5 2 . Examples are G.A. Moore’s golden numbers [10] and S. Bradley’s nearly golden sections [5] (see also...

"Golden Hour" of neonatal life is defined as the first hour of post-natal life in both preterm and term neonates. This concept in neonatology has been adopted from adult trauma where the initial first hour of trauma management is considered as golden hour. The "Golden hour" concept includes practicing all the evidence based intervention for term and preterm neonates, in the initial sixty minute...

Tomato golden mosaic virus (TGMV) and bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) are closely related geminiviruses with bipartite genomes. The A and B DNA components of each virus have cis-acting sequences necessary for replication, and their A components encode trans-acting factors are required for this process. We showed that virus-specific interactions between the cis- and trans-acting functions are re...

The generalization that anthropoid primates produce dilute milks that are low in protein and energy is based primarily on data from large monkeys of the families Cebidae and Cercopithecidae, as well as humans. The marmosets and tamarins (Callitrichidae) are not only much smaller in body size, but also typically raise multiple offspring during a relatively brief lactation. We hypothesized that s...
