Exploring Nutritional Impact on Alzheimer's Mortality: An Explainable AI Approach [PDF]
arXivThis article uses machine learning (ML) and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques to investigate the relationship between nutritional status and mortality rates associated with Alzheimers disease (AD). The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) database is employed for analysis.

Icosahedra boron chain and sheets: new boron allotropic structures [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The icosahedra boron chain and three icosahedra sheets (with {\alpha}, {\delta}4, and {\delta}6 symmetries), constructed by the icosahedra B12, have been obtained as new members of boron family using a highly efficient molecular dynamics scheme based on a transferable and reliable semi-empirical Hamiltonian.

Mathematical modelling of the vitamin C clock reaction [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Chemical clock reactions are characterised by a relatively long induction period followed by a rapid `switchover' during which the concentration of a \emph{clock chemical} rises rapidly. In addition to their interest in chemistry education, these reactions are relevant to industrial and biochemical applications. A substrate-depletive, non-autocatalytic

Exploring Smartphone-based Spectrophotometry for Nutrient Identification and Quantification [PDF]
arXivImbalanced nutrition is a global health issue with significant downstream effects. Current methods of assessing nutrient levels face several limitations, with accessibility being a major concern. In this paper, we take a step towards accessibly measuring nutrient status within the body. We explore the potential of smartphone-based spectrophotometry for

Chronic stress may disrupt covariant fluctuations of vitamin D and cortisol plasma levels in pregnant sheep during the last trimester: a preliminary report [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Psychosocial stress during pregnancy is a known contributor to preterm birth, but also has been increasingly appreciated as an in utero insult acting long-term on prenatal and postnatal neurodevelopmental trajectories. These events impact many information molecules, including both vitamin D and cortisol.

Modelling vitamin D food fortification among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia [PDF]
arXivBackground: Low vitamin D intake and high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration < 50 nmol/L) among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples highlight a need for public health strategies to improve vitamin D status.

A Comparison of Nebulized Vitamin B12 Versus Oral Vitamin B12 Supplementation [PDF]
, 2013 Vitamin B12 is important for various processes in the human body including DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, energy production, fatty acid synthesis, and for the conversion of homocysteine into methionine.

C. elegans MRP-5 Exports Vitamin B12 from Mother to Offspring to Support Embryonic Development
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Vitamin B12 functions as a cofactor for methionine synthase to produce the anabolic methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase to catabolize the short-chain fatty acid propionate.

Quantifying vitamin D intake among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia [PDF]
arXivBackground/Objective: Vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration <50 nmol/L) is prevalent among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia. Alternative to sun exposure (the primary source of vitamin D), vitamin D can also be obtained from food (e.g., fish, eggs, and meat) and supplements.
