Milk fat is high in saturated fatty acids (SFA) and high intakes of SFA are associated with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the potential risk of a first-ever acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in relation to the estimated milk-fat intake, reflected as the proportions of pentadecanoic acid (15:0) and heptadecanoic acid (17:0) in serum lipid esters. This was evaluated in a study population selected within the Västerbotten Intervention Program and the northern Sweden ‘Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular disease’ survey populations. A prospective case–control design was used. The proportions of the biomarkers …

Although the Bélanger-Böss theorem of critical flow has been widely applied in open channel hydraulics, it was derived from the laws governing ideal frictionless flow. This study explores a more general expression of this theorem and examines its applicability to flow with friction and sediment transport. It demonstrates that the theorem can be more generally presented as the principle of minimum energy (PME), with maximum efficiency of energy use and minimum friction or minimum energy dissipation as its equivalents. Critical flow depth under frictionless conditions, the best hydraulic section where friction is introduced, and the most efficient alluvial channel geometry …
Mapping Tropical Cyclone Disturbance Of The Great Barrier Reef, Marji Puotinen
Mapping Tropical Cyclone Disturbance Of The Great Barrier Reef, Marji Puotinen
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Tropical cyclones periodically cross the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The large waves they generate can damage coral reefs. This paper will describe the challenges of mapping cyclone disturbance across such a vast geographic region, and how cartographic visualisation can help us understand the implications of these challenges on the quality of the results.
