AFFECTIONS of the nervous system which result from inadequate nutrition have assumed an increasingly important position through the rapid accumulation of clinical, experimental, and pathological data. The artificial synthesis of a number of the components of the vitamin B complex has made available pure crystalline material in large amounts for clinical research, and thus a milestone in the history of these affections has been passed. It now seems appropriate to review and summarize the knowledge of these important substances. To evaluate the status of a nutritional deficiency in man is difficult. As a rule the patient induces his own disease and provides a deficiency that is not quantitatively measurable, but frequently clinical and laboratory evaluations are attempted. Both the laboratory method and the clinical method have certain advantages. Mice are not yet men and until they are the work coming -from the study of human beings is essential. Since the experience of investigators working with animals may often point the way for clinical research, we have interspersed in this review a few of the pertinent studies on the effect of nutritional deficiency on the nervous system of animals. A scheme for illustrating the multiple factors of the vitamin B complex is given in Fig. 1. To date the following portions of the vitamin B complex have been isolated and synthesized in amounts sufficient to allow for clinical trial: thiamin hydrochloride, nicotinic acid, riboflavin, and 2-methyl, 3-hydroxy, 4, 5-di (hydroxymethyl) pyridine. The deficiencies of these substances as they apply to the nervous system of man will be discussed briefly.read more

TL;DR: This work shows that active integration of uncertainty is only important when optimizing single or highly correlated ecosystem services and that the multifunction effect on landscape diversity is stronger than the uncertainty effect, important insight to support a land-use planning based on ecosystem services.

The selection of wind power project location in the Southeastern Corridor of Pakistan: A factor analysis, AHP, and fuzzy-TOPSIS application
TL;DR: In this article, a robust research framework comprising of factor analysis (FA) of techno-economic and socio-political factors, and a hybrid analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) have been used for the prioritization of sites in the southeastern region of Pakistan.

Speed or Quality? How Order of Market Entry Influences the Relationship Between Market Orientation and New Product Performance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the moderating effect of market entry order on the mediated relationship between market orientation and new product performance via product quality and innovation speed, and found that market orientation can improve the performance of first-to-market products and late movers by facilitating the development of quality products, whereas it can improve early entrants by facilitating greater innovation speed.

Engineering Polysaccharide-Based Polymeric Micelles to Enhance Permeability of Cyclosporin A Across Caco-2 Cells
TL;DR: In vitro tests indicate that the polymeric micelles exhibited high stability in gastric and intestinal fluids and no significant cytotoxicity toward Caco-2 cells, and overall, HM-HPC micells are more effective compared to HM-DEX mouselles.

TL;DR: This review evaluates strategies of bauxite residue re‐use / recycling and identifies associated benefits beyond elemental recovery from CRM recovery, and methodologies to translate risks and benefits into quantifiable data are discussed.

Relationship between nicotinic acid and a codehydrogenase (cozymase): in blood of pellagrins and normal persons
TL;DR: Extensive treatment of several hundred pellagrins with nicotinic acid has shown that B. influenzae can be used to measure accurately the cozymase content of the blood in normal persons and in pellAGrins.
