Is Plant-Based Cardioprotection Evidence-Based?

Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2014
Using natural products to reduce cardiovascular disease(CVD) risk is a topic of great interest to patients and healthcare providers. One such family of products is plant sterols orin saturated form, plant stanols, both of which are encom-passed by the term ‘phytosterols.’ Plant sterols and stanols arenaturally sourced in vegetable oils, cereals, nuts ...

The research base of community-based rehabilitation

Disability and Rehabilitation, 1999
This paper provides an overview of the current research on community-based rehabilitation (CBR) which can be found in the public domain. A brief background to the concept of CBR is given, and it is shown how much of this published research reflects the fundamental principles of CBR service delivery, technology transfer, community involvement, and ...

Gender-based and couple-based taxation [PDF]

International Tax and Public Finance, 2013
In this paper, I explore the optimal taxation of singles and couples in an economy with bargaining couples. The government is concerned with the redistribution of income from individuals with high utility to individuals with low utility, recognizing that some individuals live in couple households where resources are unevenly distributed.

Ant-based and swarm-based clustering

Swarm Intelligence, 2007
Clustering with swarm-based algorithms is emerging as an alternative to more conventional clustering methods, such as hierarchical clustering and k-means. Ant-based clustering stands out as the most widely used group of swarm-based clustering algorithms.

“Evidence-based” or “logic-based” medicine?

Osteoporosis International, 2010
Low trauma fractures are the cardinal manifestation of osteoporosis. Their occurrence supersedes bone mineral density in deciding whether specific therapy is warranted. We therefore disagree with the notion that a densitometric threshold for treatment should be applied to patients over age 50 who suffer low trauma distal radius fracture.

Exponential base change based on symmetry

ACM Inroads, 2011
This article examines the recurrence obtained for Catalan numbers based on their description of the number of unique binary search tree structures possible with n distinct keys. The straightforward recurrence obtained, when transformed into a recursive method, obtains the solution in 3 n

On context-based naming in information bases

Proceedings of CoopIS 97: 2nd IFCIS Conference on Cooperative Information Systems, 2002
In information bases following semantic and object-oriented data models logical names are used for the external identification of objects. Yet the naming schemes employed are not "natural" enough and several problems often arise: logical names can be ambiguous, excessively long, unrelated to or unable to follow the changes of the environment of named ...

Identity-based encryption based on DHIES

Proceedings of the 5th ACM Symposium on Information, Computer and Communications Security, 2010
Most traditional public key cryptosystems are constructed upon algebraically rich structures, which makes their key pairs combinable, i.e., the combination of some private keys and their corresponding public keys could form a new key pair. Exploring such combinable property, this paper proposes a novel Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) scheme based on ...

Querying concept-based knowledge bases

2005
Much of the research on terminological reasoning aims at characterizing concept languages (also called terminological languages) with respect to both expressive power and computational complexity of computing subsumption. On the other hand, little attention has been paid to studying concept languages as query languages, i.e.
