OBJECTIVE The present study examined the associations between adult food insecurity (FI) and percentage body fat (%BF) and BMI, stratified by height (HT). DESIGN, SETTING AND SUBJECTS %BF, HT and BMI of 2117 men and 1909 women in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2002 were analysed in relation to adult food security status using multiple regression procedures. RESULT...

Let $(R,m)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring, $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module of dimension $d$, and let $I$ be an ideal of definition for $M$. In this paper, we extend cite[Corollary 10(4)]{P} and also we show that if $M$ is a Cohen-Macaulay $R$-module and $d=2$, then $lambda(frac{widetilde{I^nM}}{Jwidetilde{I^{n-1}M}})$ does not depend on $J$ for all $ngeq 1$, where $J$ is a minimal ...

We study the viscous dissipation in pipe flows long channels with porous or semipermeable walls, taking into account both bulk of channel and pores. give simple closed-form expressions for terms axially varying flow rate $Q(x)$ pressure $p(x)$, generalizing well-known expression $\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \.{}\fi{}}{W}=Q\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}p=R{Q}^{2}$ ca...

the purpose of this paper is to obtain necessary and suffcient conditionsfor existence approximate fixed point on geraghty-contraction. in this paper,denitions of approximate -pair fixed point for two maps tα , sα and theirdiameters are given in a metric space.

BACKGROUND Frailty is a state of increased vulnerability to adverse outcomes. The frailty index (FI), defined by the deficit accumulation approach, is a sensitive instrument to measure levels of frailty, and therefore important for longitudinal studies of aging. AIMS To develop an FI in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA), and to examine the predictive validity of this FI for 19-yea...

Background: The relationship between fi broblasts, myofi broblasts, and smooth muscle cells within the airway wall remains poorly understood. Objective: The cellular characteristics of primary bronchial fi broblasts from patients with asthma were investigated by evaluating the expression of 3 proteins: α–smooth muscle actin (SMA), fi bronectin containing extra type III domain A (EDAcFN), and sm...

We give a full description of the Poisson structures on finitary incidence algebra $FI(P,R)$ an arbitrary poset $P$ over commutative unital ring $R$.

High multivitamin gestational diets (HV, 10-fold AIN-93G levels) increase body weight (BW) and food intake (FI) in rat offspring weaned to a recommended multivitamin (RV), but not to a HV diet. We hypothesized that high vitamin A (HA) alone, similar to HV, in post-weaning diets would prevent these effects of the HV maternal diet consistent with gene expression in FI and reward pathways. Male of...
