Purpose: Magnesium (Mg) is a key factor in blood pressure regulation. However, only in recent years, magnesium dietary intake has been studied in relation to hypertension, with equivocal conclusions. Further no comparisons have previously been made between the UK general population and primary hypertensives, the UK RNI and the USARDA. Methods: Twenty-five hypertensives (HT) (mean age 63.4 y) an...

Young mussel beds on soft sediments can display large-scale regular spatial patterns. This phenomenon can be explained relatively simply by a reaction-diffusion-advection (RDA) model of the interaction between algae and mussel, which includes the diffusive spread of mussel and the advection of algae. We present a detailed analysis of pattern formation in this RDA model. We derived the condition...

A large portion of scientific results is based on analysing and processing research data. In order for an eScience experiment to be reproducible, we need to able to identify precisely the data set which was used in a study. Considering evolving data sources this can be a challenge, as studies often use subsets which have been extracted from a potentially large parent data set. Exporting and sto...

Representational difference analysis (RDA), a technique for the isolation of differences between highly similar complex genomes, was employed for isolation of species-specific markers. These markers can be easily adapted for a high throughput PCR-based assay in which multiple specimens can be simultaneously identified based on the presence/absence of amplification products. One of the important...

MANETs (Mobile ad hoc networks) are overloaded with their heavy usage choking traffic. Recent studies have been attempting to find feasibility of routes in these networks. Most proposed schemes failed consider the network traffic or MANET requirements. routing done by RPs (Routing Protocols) would perform better when they adhere QoS (Quality Service) application As a result, must satisfy numero...

One hundred and seventeen consecutive patients with refractory dysmyelopoietic anemia (RDA) were followed and studied over 6 yr. All RDA cases had at least two marrow cell lines involved with dysplasia and usually all three. Morphologically, the series could be divided into 55 cases that had primarily "erythroid" hyperplasia and 62 cases with primarily "myeloid" dysplasia. There was a significa...
