From 1979 through 1984, a randomized epidemiologies] survey in Belgium assessed the dietary intake of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium using 24-hour food records checked by trained dietitians. Dietary cation intake levels were correlated with blood pressure both hi the total group (4167 men and 3891 women) and hi the group not taking antihypertensive medication (3814 men and 3329 women...

Crosswinds will lead to large-scale flow separation in the nacelle inlets, which seriously affects flight safety of aircraft; there is an urgent need develop control measures. As a plasma method, application surface dielectric barrier discharge field inlet great significance for improving intake quality. Based on characteristic law baseline field, effect experiments with NS-DBD, and influence a...

The benchmark active controls technology and wind tunnel test program at NASA Langley Research Center was started with the objective to investigate the nonlinear, unsteady aerodynamics and active flutter suppression of wings in transonic flow. The paper will present the flutter suppression control law design process, numerical nonlinear simulation and wind tunnel test results for the NACA 0012 ...

BACKGROUND An inverse association between protein intake and blood pressure has been reported in Western countries. However, the evidence is limited for Asians, whose protein sources are different from those in Western populations. OBJECTIVES The objective was to examine the association between protein intake and blood pressure in Japanese adults. METHODS We conducted a population-based, cr...

Aspirin is used for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention by millions of patients on a daily basis. Previous studies suggested that aspirin intake at bedtime reduces blood pressure compared with intake on awakening. This has never been studied in patients with CVD. Moreover, platelet reactivity and CVD incidence is highest during morning hours. Bedtime aspirin intake may attenuate morning pla...

Polynuclear or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are known to be one of the most dangerous hydrocarbons due to their carcinogenic potential. Some PAH have been measured and regulated in the atmosphere to quantify the air quality. However, in order to better understand the presence of these compounds in the atmosphere, it is also important to study the PAH sources. In this paper, the partic...
