Lifestyle is a subset of secondary human requirements that can shift with the times or person's desire to alter himself. Consuming unhealthy meals have significant impact on blood sugar levels, such as fast food, soft drinks, and other forms one lifestyle modifications. Fiber-rich, low-glycemic-index, sodium-free snack bars for diabetics should be manufactured from natural components. Diabetic ...

Predicting the time at which the integral over a stochastic process reaches a target level is a value of interest in many applications. Often, such computations have to be made at low cost, in real time. As an intuitive example that captures many features of this problem class, we choose progress bars, a ubiquitous element of computer user interfaces. These predictors are usually based on simpl...

Secular evolution and fueling is driven by bars in spiral galaxies, and the related dynamical processes are reviewed. It is shown that gravity torques dominate over viscous torques, and produce gas infall to the center. In this infall, the bar wave accepts the angular momentum, which produces its destruction. In the end, a central mass concentration is build, which also contributes to this dest...

The pressing need for psychiatric services within the nation's jails and prisons is well documented. A study sponsored by the American Medical Association in 1973 reported that only 13 percent of the nation's jails had psychiatric services for mentally ill inmates. I This lack is even more disturbing when psychiatric morbidity rates of jailed persons is noted. Rates vary, depending on the natur...

ristina Hidalgo Carcedo, Alberto Luini, Daniela Corda, and colleagues (Consorzio Mario Negri Sud, Santa Maria Imbaro, Italy) suggest that Golgi membranes are chopped up by a protein called BARS before mitosis can occur. Their cell culture studies contrast, however, with results from genetic knock-out experiments. BARS is closely related to the CtBP family of transcriptional repressors needed fo...

In normal vision, three contrast patches containing black and white bars are aligned more precisely when the bars are collinear across the patches [Popple, A., Polat, U., & Bonneh, Y. (2001). Collinear effects on 3-Gabor alignment as a function of spacing, orientation and detectability. Spatial Vision, 14(2), 139-150]. Normally, offsets between the bars in successive patches make the configurat...

In the heavy-quark limit, two heavy quarks in a doubly baryon or tetraquark are bound by their color-Coulomb potential into compact diquark. The hadrons related approximate heavy-quark--diquark symmetry of QCD to obtained replacing diquark antiquark. Effective field theories can be used expand masses singly and inverse powers masses. coefficients expansions for tetraquarks determined from those...

A plane-wave model accounting for cross-relaxation, upconversion, ground-state depletion, and gain saturation in continuous-wave laser systems is applied to side-pumped Tm:YAG double-clad planar waveguides. The temperature profile due to high-power pumping, and the delivery and absorption efficiencies of proximity-coupled diode bars, are also calculated. The theoretical performance is found to ...

The most widely used knee mechanisms for through-knee amputees can be characterized as three principal types of design. These types are metal side bars with heavy duty joints, conventional knee mechanisms for above-knee amputees and special polycentric linkage mechanisms for through-knee amputees. An investigation in Sweden in 1979 showed that over 50% of the fittings were using the special pol...
