Banding textures are commonly observed in mineral crystals for example in sphalerites in Mississippi Valley-type deposit. Cellular Nonlinear Network (CNN) has been developed in the literature for characterizing complexity especially for reaction-diffusion dynamic systems. These include models describing periodic precipitation incorporating nucleation and banding pattern formation in minerals. B...

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is very prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, but the role of sexual transmission has not been well characterized. HHV-8 seroprevalence and correlates were evaluated in a cohort of female prostitutes in Mombasa, Kenya. Between February 1993 and January 2000, stored plasma samples taken from 736 women were tested, by whole-virus ELISA assay, for the presence of H...

This study assessed the effect of combination microencapsulated sodium butyrate (SB) and phytase (PH) on performance, intestinal integrity, bone development broilers. The experiment comprised 736 chicks distributed in a completely randomised design 2 × factorial scheme (with without inclusion SB with PH at recommended dose superdosing) totalling four treatments eight repetitions 23 birds each....

Factors related to eight respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms have been studied in a sample of 12 736 men and women aged 37 to 67 living in England, Scotland and Wales. The prevalence of each of these symptoms was independently associated with increasing age, with lower social class, with living in wales, and with exposure at work to fumes or to dust, especially in mines or quarries. Prevale...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to identify the correlation between adequate water intake and the prevalence of metabolic/heart diseases. METHODS We analyzed the data from the 2012 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. All participants were divided into Group Above Adequate Intake (n = 736) and Group Below Adequate Intake (n = 4,819) according to water intake. The thres...

OBJECTIVE To nutritionally analyse mean energy intake (EI) from different 3 d intervals within a 7 d recording period and to evaluate the seasonal effect on energy and nutrient intake. DESIGN Cross-sectional study of dietary intake collected with 7 d food diaries. SETTING Aberdeen, north-east Scotland, UK, between 2002 and 2004. SUBJECTS Participants from two long-term trials were pooled....

BACKGROUND During haemodialysis, anticoagulants are required to prevent clotting in the extracorporeal circuit. Low-molecular weight heparins (LMWH) are frequently used because of the ease of a single injection at the start of dialysis. Disadvantages of LMWH include the lack of a reliable bedside assay for measuring their anticoagulant effect. METHODS We investigated a bedside test for LMWH a...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect on pregnancy outcome of either inseminating heifers twice (at 48 and 72 hours after withdrawal of a controlled internal drug release insert (CIDR) containing progesterone) or once (56 hours after CIDR withdrawal) following a seven-day CIDR synchronisation protocol. Dairy heifers (n=267) from five farms, with an age range of 388-736 days, w...
