Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 10: Cancer Treatment and Nutritional Deficiencies
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Increasing cancer incidence and improved survival rates have seen the number of cancer survivors increase exponentially throughout the last few decades. As a consequence of this, cancer survivors may experience a number ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 1: Zinc Deficiency and Depression
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Zinc deficiency has multiple effects, including neurological and somatic symptoms. Zinc deficiency can lead to depression, increased anxiety, irritability, emotional instability, and induced deficits in social behavior. Clinical ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 2: Zinc Deficiency
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Zinc is an essential trace element for humans and plays a critical role both as a structural component of proteins and as a cofactor in about 300 enzymes. Zinc deficiency was, for example, reported to affect the immune ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 3: Zinc: What Is Its Role in Lung Cancer?
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Recently, zinc emerged as an important signaling molecule, activating intracellular pathways and regulating cell fate, although our knowledge remains incomplete. Zinc is required in many enzymatic and metabolic pathways, ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 4: Iron Nutrition, Oxidative Stress, and Pathogen Defense
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Adaptation is a challenge that plants have to undergo in order to survive in difficult environments. Nutrient deficiency, stress, and microorganism attack are abiotic and biotic factors that frequently impair plant wellness, ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 5: An Integrated Approach to Iron Deficiency Anemia
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Iron deficiency is a common nutritional disorder in developing countries and contributes significantly to reduced work productivity and economic output as well as to increased morbidity and mortality. There are well-established ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 6: Anemia During Pregnancy
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Anemia during pregnancy is a considerable health problem, with around two-fifths of pregnant women worldwide being anemic. Many gynecological and infectious diseases are predisposing factors for anemia during pregnancy. ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 7: Malaria, Schistosomiasis, and Related Anemia
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Parasitic infections (e.g., malaria and helminthiases) have a huge impact on public health in endemic areas. Moreover, parasitic infestations are prominent causes of anemia in the tropics and subtropics, further perpetuated ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 8: Redox Homeostasis in Neural Plasticity and the Aged Brain
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Currently, humans can easily live for 60 years and more. This increase in life expectancy produces myriad changes in our bodies that diminish the individual’s physical and mental capacities and affect as well the functional ... -
Nutritional Deficiency. Chapter 9: Vitamin D Deficiency
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Previously, known actions of vitamin D were confined to skeletal health, but accumulating evidence has consistently suggested that vitamin D has pleomorphic roles in overall human physiology. Hence, no other micronutrient ... -
Object localization using a biosonar beam
(The Royal Society, 2015)Determining the location of a sound source is crucial for survival. Both predators and prey usually produce sound while moving, revealing valuable information about their presence and location. Animals have thus evolved ... -
Omura’s whales off northwest Madagascar
(2015)The Omura’s whale (Balaenoptera omurai)was describedas a new species in 2003 and then soon after as an ancient lineage basal to a Bryde’s/sei whale clade. Currently known only from whaling and stranding specimens primarily ... -
On alternative wavelet reconstruction formula: a case study of approximate wavelets
(The Royal Society, 2014)The application of the continuous wavelet transform to the study of a wide class of physical processes with oscillatory dynamics is restricted by large central frequencies owing to the admissibility condition. We propose ... -
On the convergence and accuracy of the cardiovascular intrinsic frequencymethod
(2015)In this paper, we analyse the convergence, accuracy and stability of the intrinsic frequency (IF) method. The IF method is a descendant of the sparse time frequency representation methods. These methods are designed for ... -
On the Helmert blocking technique
(2015)The Helmert-blocking technique is a common approach to adjust large geodetic networks like Europeans and Brazilians. The technique is based upon a division of the network into partial networks called blocks. This way, the ... -
On themodularity of certain functions from the Gromov–Witten theory of elliptic orbifolds
(2015)In this paper, we study modularity of several functions which naturally arose in a recent paper of Lau and Zhou on open Gromov–Witten potentials of elliptic orbifolds. They derived a number of examples of indefinite theta ... -
Only accessible information is useful
(2015)Information theory is gaining popularity as a tool to characterize performance of biological systems. However, information is commonly quantified without reference to whether or how a system could extract and use it as a ... -
Open Access
(2012)In this concise introduction, Peter Suber tells us what open access is and is not, how it benefits authors and readers of research, how we pay for it, how it avoids copyright problems, how it has moved from the periphery ... -
Open Data Structures: An Introduction
(Au Press, 2013)Offered as an introduction to the field of data structures and algorithms, Open Data Structures covers the implementation and analysis of data structures for sequences (lists), queues, priority queues, unordered dictionaries, ... -
Open Data Structures: An Introduction
(Au Press, Athabasca University, 2013)Chapter 1. Introduction. Chapter 2. Array-Based Lists. Chapter 3. Linked Lists. Chapter 4. Skiplists. Chapter 5. Hash Tables. Chapter 6. Binary Trees. Chapter 7. Random Binary Search Trees. Chapter 8. Scapegoat Trees. ...
