Obesity is a multifactor, chronic metabolic disease involving an excessive build-up of adipose tissue in the body. The severity of obesity is measured with the Body Mass Index (BMI). A BMI within the range of 25-29.9 kg/m indicates overweight, while a BMI exceeding 30 kg/m indicates obesity. The higher the BMI, the greater the disease risk for obesity-related comorbidities. Currently more than ...

The research, based on an interdisciplinary literature review, highlights the strategic choices, various profiles and salient factors of electronic procurement (eprocurement). The authors identify some factors which are important when adopting a strategic, rather than a tactical e-procurement perspective. The article proposes a broad framework for assessing the e-procurement performance relatio...

Rapamycin is a canonical allosteric inhibitor of the mammalian tarpet of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase with immunosuppressive and proapoptotic activities. We found that in vitro rapamycin also regulates the proteasome, which is an essential intracellular protease of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Rapamycin inhibits proteinase and selected peptidase activities of the catalytic core proteasome at lo...

BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is one of the most common and lethal cancers in the world. The incidence of prostate cancer has been increasing in recent years. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with prostate cancer screening behaviors among men over 50 in Fasa, Iran, based on the PRECEDE model. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 400 men over 50 were studied in Fa...

Human activities have more than doubled inputs of nitrogen (N) to terrestrial ecosystems worldwide (1). Until recently, most of this increase was focused in the developed regions of the world. With fertilizer consumption (2), fossil-fuel emissions (3), and biomass burning (4) rapidly increasing in less developed regions, sources and distribution of anthropogenic N now occur globally (5), as doe...

V = U ⊕ U ′, for some other subspace U ′ ⊂ V , by Theorem 3.21. Consider T restricted to U ′. This is a map T : U ′ →W , which is injective, since U ′∩ker(T ) = {0}. And note that injective maps, in general, preserve linear independence: if we have a linearly independent set {~x1, . . . , ~xn} ∈ X in a vector space X, a linear map of vector spaces A : X → Y , and a linear combination 0 = λ1A~x1...
