Vitamin C (ascorbate) and glutathione (GSH) are the two most concentrated non-enzymatic antioxidants in the human brain. Double editing with (DEW) MEGA-PRESS at 4T was designed in this study to measure both antioxidants in the same amount of time previously required to measure one. In the occipital lobe of four human subjects, resolved ascorbate (Asc) and GSH resonances were detected repeatedly...

Rapid urbanization in developing countries has been observed to be relatively high in the last two decades, especially in the Asian and African regions. Although many researchers have made efforts to improve the understanding of the urbanization trends of various cities in Asia and Africa, the absence of platforms where local stakeholders can visualize and obtain processed urbanization data for...

Wearable electronics are often used for estimating the energy expenditure of user based on heart rate measurement. While is a good predictor calorie consumption at high intensities, it less precise low intensity levels, which translates into inaccurate results when daily net expenditure. In this study, measurement was augmented with heat flux (HF) measurement, form direct calorimetry. A physica...

This paper reports on the integration of the higher-order theorem proving environment Tps [Andrews et al., 1996] into the mathematical assistant mega [Benzm uller et al., 1997]. Tps can be called from mega either as a black box or as an interactive system. In black box mode, the user has control over the parameters which control proof search inTps; in interactive mode, all features of theTps-s...

A "mega-journal" is a new type of scientific journal that publishes freely accessible articles, which have been peer reviewed for scientific trustworthiness, but leaves it to the readers to decide which articles are of interest and importance to them. In the wake of the phenomenal success of PLOS ONE, several other publishers have recently started mega-journals. This article presents the evolut...

For a number of years, these extraordinary wildfires have been increasing i...

CONTEXT Excessive calorie intake and subsequent obesity increases the risk of developing chronic disease and decreases life expectancy. In rodent models, calorie restriction with adequate nutrient intake decreases the risk of developing chronic disease and extends maximum life span. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the physiological and clinical implications of calorie restriction with adequate nutrient...
