Background: Prevalence of degenerative dementias and dementias associated with cerebrovascular disease is increasing. Dementia is one of the most significant public health problem. In recent years, the role of vascular ...
About the stability and positivity of a class of discrete nonlinear systems of difference equations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper investigates stability conditions and positivity of the solutions of a coupled set of nonlinear difference equations under very generic conditions of the nonlinear real functions which are assumed to be bounded ...
Resveratrol inhibits nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in rats
(BioMed Central, 2008-09-09)
Background: The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is high. NAFLD is linked to obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertriglyceridemia. Approximately 20% of patients with NAFLD will eventually develop ...
Homogenization of Mutually Immiscible Polymers Using Nanoscale Effects: A Theoretical Study
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
A theoretical study to investigate homogenization of mutually immiscible polymers using nanoscale effects has been performed. Specifically, the miscibility behavior of all-polymer nanocomposites composed of linear-polystyrene ...
Term Structure and the Estimated Monetary Policy Rule in the Eurozone
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2008)
In this paper we estimate a standard version of the New Keynesian Monetary (NKM) model augmented with term structure in order to analyze two issues. First, we analyze the effect of introducing an explicit term structure ...

How immigration affects the labor market of the host country is a topic of major concern for many immigrant-receiving nations. Spain is no exception following the rapid increase in immigrant flows experienced over the past ...
Long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid from fish oil modulates aortic nitric oxide and tocopherol status in the rat
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-10)
In spite of their high oxidisability. long-chain n-3 PUFA protect against CVD. Dietary fatty acids modulate the fatty acid composition of lipoproteins involved in atherosclerosis. We thought that if long-chain n-3 PUFA ...
Trans-10,cis-12-conjugated linoleic acid does not increase body fat loss induced by energy restriction
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-12)
Very little evidence exists concerning the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on body fat reduction induced by energy restriction. Moreover, although an effect of trans-10, cis-12-CLA on lipolysis has been suggested, ...
About the properties of a modified generalized Beverton-Holt equation in ecology models
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper is devoted to the study of a generalized modified version of the well-known Beverton-Holt equation in ecology. The proposed model describes the population evolution of some species in a certain habitat driven ...
Basque inshore skippers' long term behaviour: a logit approach
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
Based on the discrete optimal choice theory and a random utility model (RUM) framework, this paper focuses on the firm's long-term choices.A behavioural study on the stay and exit decisions of the fishing firms belonging ...
