Fruit and vegetable intake and overall cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).

BACKGROUND: It is widely believed that cancer can be prevented by high intake of fruits and vegetables. However, inconsistent results from many studies have not been able to conclusively establish an inverse association between fruit and vegetable intake and overall cancer risk. METHODS: We conducted a prospective analysis of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fjärrvärme är ett centraliserat uppvärmningssystem där varmt vatten distribueras i ett rörnätverk och används främst till byggnadsuppvärmning och för att värma varmvatten. Fjärrvärme finns i alla länder på norra halvklotet men har störst marknadsandel i Norden och Baltikum. I Sverige används fjärrvärme för att värma c:a 60% av all byggnadsyta. Två stora fördelar med fjäRenewable energy sources dominated the world energy supply until the beginning of the 20th century, when fossil energy became the dominant energy source worldwide. Today, fossil fuels contribute to over 80% of world energy supply. But there are two major reasons why fossil energy use has to stop. First, fossil energy is limited and will not last forever. Second, emissions of carbon dioxide change

ADP receptor P2Y(13) induce apoptosis in pancreatic beta-cells.

Pancreatic beta-cell loss represents a key factor in the pathogenesis of diabetes. Since the influence of purinergic signaling in beta-cell apoptosis has not been much investigated, we examined the role of the ADP receptor P2Y(13) using the pancreatic insulinoma-cell line MIN6c4 as a model system. Real time-PCR revealed high expression of the ADP receptors P2Y(1) and P2Y(13). Adding the ADP analog

Measuring Per-Frame Energy Consumption of Real-Time Graphics Applications

Energy and power efficiency are becoming important topics within the graphics community. In this paper, we present a simple, straightforward method for measuring per-frame energy consumption of real-time graphics workloads. The method is non-invasive, meaning that source code is not needed, which makes it possible to measure on a much wider range of applications. We also discuss certain behaviors

Redox balancing in recombinant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

In metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing Pichia stipitis XYL1 and XYL2 genes, encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, xylitol is excreted as the major product during anaerobic xylose fermentation and only low yields of ethanol are produced. This has been interpreted as a result of the dual cofactor dependence of XR and the exclusive use

Deltas Apart - Factor Endowments, Colonial Extraction and Pathways of Agricultural Development in Vietnam

This study provides an explanation of the different pathways of agricultural change and economic development in north and south Vietnam. It shows that pre-colonial factor endowments conditioned the development of the rice economies of the two deltas in Tonkin and Cochinchina. The study relates to, and deviates from, the new literature on the colonial origins of contemporary development (Acemoglu,
