OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyse the association between resting heart rate (RHR) and type 2 diabetes and hypertension in Korean adults. METHODS A total of 5124 participants, who participated in the exercise programme at the National Health Promotion Center between 2007 and 2010 (male=904, female=4220) were analysed in this study. Anthropometrics, body mass index (BMI), bloo...

We give new formulas for the asymptotics of the number of spanning trees of a large graph. A special case answers a question of McKay [Europ. J. Combin. 4 149–160] for regular graphs. The general answer involves a quantity for infinite graphs that we call ‘tree entropy’, which we show is a logarithm of a normalized determinant of the graph Laplacian for infinite graphs. Tree entropy is also exp...

The variation in base composition at the three codon sites in relation to gene expressivity, the latter estimated by the Codon Adaptation Index, has been studied in a sample of 1371 Escherichia coli genes. Correlation and regression analyses show that increasing expression levels are accompanied by higher frequencies of base G at first, of base A at second and of base C at third codon positions...
