Anthropometric predictive equations for estimating body composition

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2015
Background: Precise and accurate measurements of body composition are useful in achieving a greater understanding of human energy metabolism in physiology and in different clinical conditions, such as, cardiovascular disease and overall mortality.

(WP 2010-09) Does Money Matter? An Empirical Investigation [PDF]

, 2010
This paper uses a simultaneous-equations model of the new consensus macroeconomic model to examine whether the inclusion of the money stock in the aggregate demand function improves the statistical fit of the model.

Fast, Accurate and Robust Adaptive Finite Difference Methods for Fractional Diffusion Equations: The Size of the Timesteps does Matter

, 2014
The computation time required by standard finite difference methods with fixed timesteps for solving fractional diffusion equations is usually very large because the number of operations required to find the solution scales as the square of the number of

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

Some Prediction Equations in Poultry Breeding

Poultry Science, 1967
Abstract THE heritability of family means expresses the regression of the true mean of the family over its observed mean, thus to be used in differentiating between families of different sizes when practicing family selection. If we put the values of the genetic correlations between individuals in the families (r) as 1/2 and 1/4 for full- and half ...

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Single droplet experimentation on spray drying:evaporation of sessile droplets deposited on a flat surface [PDF]

, 2010
: Individually dispensed droplets were dried on a flat surface to mimic the drying of single droplets during spray drying. A robust dispensing process is presented that generates small droplets (dp>150 µm).

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Development of a new equation and validation of earlier resting energy expenditure predicting equations in adults living in Tehran [PDF]

Health Promotion Perspectives
Background: Predictive equations have been considered as a practical approach for estimating resting energy expenditure (REE) across multiple populations, but their accuracy for each community remains to be determined.
