Previous studies suggest that rapidly exchanging zinc pools (EZP), thought to supply the zinc required by tissues, are smaller and turn over more rapidly in individuals with lower zinc intakes. We studied the effects of low dietary zinc (4.6 mg/d) on EZP mass and turnover in seven healthy men confined during a 20-wk clinical study. Supplements of 9.1 mg zinc were given during the 5-wk baseline ...

Accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs approaching the Chandrasekhar mass may provide a substantial fraction of Type Ia supernovae. The hydrodynamics of nuclear burning in these models remains uncertain, but all current models are characterized by an initial period of slow, nearly laminar Ñame propagation at a well-known conductive speed. For cold white dwarfs and slow accretion, the density at t...

This paper explains an implementation model for a new method for Production Leveling designed for batch production system. The main structure of this model is grounded on three constructs: traditional framework for Operations Planning, Lean Manufacturing concepts for Production Leveling and case study guidelines. By combining the first and second construct, a framework for Production Leveling h...
