Background: As people age and accumulate long-term conditions, their physical activity and physical function declines, resulting in disability and loss of independence.Primary care is well placed to empower individuals and communities to reduce this decline; however, the best approach is uncertain.Objectives: To develop a programme theory to explai

Diffraction methods are commonly used for the determination of the elastic lattice deformation and distortion from the displacement and broadening of the diffraction peak.These methods enable researchers to measure stresses and elastic properties of polycrystalline materials.The main advantages of diffraction methods are their non-destructive jerom

A 44-year-old woman visited a hospital with microscopic hematuria in June 2009.Computed tomography gauze fabric by the bolt showed a large bladder diverticulum at right lateral wall and urachal remnant.Cystoscopic examination showed a large diverticulum at the right lateral wall that closes to the dome.She was followed up closely without therapeuti

Radar is one of remote sensing technology which utilizes active electromagnetic energy and are able to provide information about the characteristics of forest stand.This study utilized JERS-1 and ERS-1 radar images to analyze the relationship between the radar backscatter and forest stand characteristics ppss body armour such as Diameter Breast Hei

Abstract Background Genetic variants within the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster (human Chr11) are important regulators of long-chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis in the liver and consequently have been associated with circulating LC-PUFA levels.More recently, epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, particu
