BACKGROUND Breakfast eating habits are a dietary pattern marker and appear to be a useful predictor of a healthy lifestyle. Many studies have reported the unhealthy effects of skipping breakfast. However, there are few studies on the association between skipping breakfast and mortality. In the present study, we examined the association between skipping breakfast and mortality from cancer, circu...

The purpose of this study was to further explore the association between bullying victimization and breakfast skipping in children and adolescents. Compared to the previous study, we have used a larger and representative sample of middle and high school students, examined the effect of gender, different forms (physical, verbal, theft/vandalism and cyber) and severity of bullying on breakfast ea...

We describe three case studies illustrating the use of ACL2s to prove the correctness of optimized reactive systems using skipping refinement. Reasoning about reactive systems using refinement involves defining an abstract, high-level specification system and a concrete, low-level implementation system. Next, one shows that the behaviors of the implementation system are allowed by the specifica...

Duchenne muscular dystophy (DMD) is a severe muscle wasting disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. By utilizing antisense oligonucleotides, splicing of the dystrophin transcript can be altered so that exons harbouring a mutation are excluded from the mature mRNA. Although this approach has been shown to be effective to restore partially functional dystrophin protein, the level of d...

Background: Antisense-mediated exon skipping is currently one of the most promising therapeutic approaches for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Using antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) targeting specific exons the DMD reading frame is restored and partially functional dystrophins are produced. Following proof of concept in cultured muscle cells from patients with various deletions and point mu...

Researches are carried out with different methods to reduce the emissions emitted by conventional fuel engines. In addition using alternative fuels, especially ethanol, in gasoline engines, injection, and combustion controls applied various strategies. this study, effects of cycle skipping strategies on were analyzed through a numerical model single-cylinder naturally aspirated spark ignition (...

Rope skipping is an effective way of training. In this study, we concentrated on the rope skipping exercise of using the equipment without a rope which is called “air jump rope”. We have developed a system for recognizing the rotational motion of the rope skipping exercise. The system analyses a motion of jumping rope using the moving image processing using the IR camera of Microsoft Kinect. By...

A bstract We clarify general mathematical and physical properties of pole-skipping points. For this purpose, we analyse scalar vector fields in hyperbolic space. This setup is chosen because it simple enough to allow us obtain analytical expressions for the Green’s function check everything explicitly, while contains all essential features classify points three types (type-I, II, III). Type-I T...
