  • Pharmacotherapy is considered the first line therapy in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Many patients also choose complementary medicine such as dietary supplements. Omega-3 has shown some efficacy for improving ADHD symptoms in several studies. The goal of this review is to integrate the previous research findings on omega-3 and understand the issues worth considering in the treatment of ADHD. The terms "attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity", "omega-3", and "dietary supplements" were searched on PubMed, Cochrane, and Google scholar. The search was further limited to clinical trials, reviews, and meta-analyses. Trials that examined treatments for ADHD, used randomized design, and placebo-controlled trials were included. Eighteen clinical trials with a total of 1,141 participants were included in this review. Fifteen trials had parallel designs, comparing an omega-3/6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) or a combination of both to a placebo and three compared omega-3/6 PUFAs to a placebo and psycho-stimulants. Seven of the included trials showed significant improvements in groups receiving omega-3/6 PUFAs compared to placebo groups, however, 11 trials showed no significant differences. Evidence that PUFAs supplementation provides benefits for ADHD was yet limited. Mixed results were due to selection variability criteria, variability of supplementation, and short follow-up intervals.

  • An analysis is presented for the primary resonance of a clamped-hinged beam, which occurs when the frequency of excitation is near one of the natural frequencies, .omega.$_{n}$. Three mode interactions, .omega.$_{2}$=3.omega.$_{1}$, and .omega.$_{3}$=.omega.$_{1}$+2.omega.$_{2}$, are considered and their influence on the response is studied. The case of two mode interaction, .omega.$_{2}$=3.omega.$_{1}$, is also considered in order to compare it with the case of three mode interactions. The straight beam experiencing mid-plane stretching is governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation. By using Galerkin's method the governing equation is reduced to a system of nonautonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The method of multiple scales is applied to obtain steady-state responses of the system. Results of numerical investions show that there exists no significant difference between both modal interactions.

  • The fatty acid composition of Phospholipids from human mature milk, modified milk formula and market milk were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. The levels of 8:0, 10:0, 19:0, 20:0 and 22:0 were significantly higher in modified milk formula than in human milk. The levels of 14:0 and 16:0 were significantly lower in modified milk formula than in human milk. Modified milk formula had a higher $18:2{\omega}6$ content than human milk (17.9 versus 7.9%). The metabolites of the ${\omega}$9-, ${\omega}$6-$ and ${\omega}$3-series showed lower levels in modified milk formula than in human milk. The fatty acid composition of phospholipids from modified milk formula was similar to that of market milk.

  • We employ the SOR method to analyze CPW electrodes of Ti:$LiNbO_3$ Mach-Zehnder traveling-wave optical modulator in the tapered region of an optical modulator. In the tapered region of the modulator, we design the electrodes satisfying $Z_c=50{\Omega}$. In the modulation region, we find two find sets of design parameters. One set is for $Z_c=50{\Omega}$, $n_{eff}=2.26$ and the another is for $n_{eff}=2.2$, $Z_c=47.7{\Omega}$.

  • This paper is an attempt to study and introduce the notion of ${\omega}$-dense set in weak structures and the notion of m-dense set in minimal structures. We have also investigate the relationships between ${\omega}$-dense sets, $m$-dense sets, ${\sigma}({\omega})$ sets, ${\pi}({\omega})$ sets, $r({\omega})$ sets, ${\beta}({\omega})$ sets, m-semiopen sets and $m$-preopen sets. Further we give some representations of the above generalized sets in minimal structures as well as in weak structures.

  • Roh[1] derived 2D g-Navier-Stokes equations from 3D Navier-Stokes equations. In this paper, we will see the space $L^2({\Omega},\;g)$, which is the weighted space of $L^2({\Omega})$, as natural generalized space of $L^2({\Omega})$ which is mathematical setting for Navier-Stokes equations. Our future purpose is to use the space $L^2({\Omega},\;g)$ as mathematical setting for the g-Navier-Stokes equations. In addition, we will see Helmoltz-Leray projection on $L^2_{per}({\Omega},\;g)$) and compare with the one on $L^2_{per}({\Omega})$.

  • In this paper, charging modes of series resonant converter for a high voltage energy storage capacitor are compared in terms of charging time, peak resonant current, normalized peak resonant current and voltage in each operation mode. Operating principles of the full bridge series resonant converter with capacitor load are explained and analyzed in discontinuous and continuous operation mode. Based on the analysis and simulation result, $0.6{\omega}_r$ < ${\omega}_s$ < $0.75{\omega}_r$ and $1.3{\omega}_r$ < ${\omega}_s$ < $1.4{\omega}_r$ are evaluated to the best range of switching frequency for charging of an high voltage energy storage capacitor. 1.8 kJ/s SRC prototype is assembled with TI 28335 DSP controller and 40 kJ, 7 kV energy storage capacitor. Design rules based on the comparative analysis are verified by experiment.

  • This study was conducted to asses the $\omega$-3 fatty acid intake levels and to evaluate the relationship between the levels of $\omega$-3 fatty acids in plasma and erythrocyte membrane and the dietary intake of these fatty acids over the period of two months in 56 young Korean females. Dietary survey was conducted to obtain 7-day weiged records and six 24-hour recalls. Fasting blood sample was collected from each subject after the dietary survey period. Mean daily intakes of energy, fat, and cholesterol were 1,569㎉, 41.8g, and 217mg, respectively. Fat suppled 24% of total energy intake. Mean daily intake levels of eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA), docosahexaenoic acid(DHA), and total $\omega$-3 fatty acids were 0.04g, 0.06g, and 0.48g, respectively. Plasma cholesterol levels of most of the subjects were within normal range, and there was no significant correlation between plasma cholesterol levels and intake levels of any specific fatty acid. Levels of EPA, DHA, EPA+DHA in plasma and erythrocyte membrane, but not the levels of $\alpha$-linolenic acid(LNA), were significantly correlated with dietary in take of respective fatty acids. Such a correlation, however, was not observed in a previous study where dietary intake was assessed for 3 days. The results of this study show that dietary intakes of $\omega$-3 fatty acids are low in the subject and that about two-month period is required to assess dietary intake levels of $\omega$-3 fatty acids with a reasonable accuracy.

  • To compare antioxidant action of u 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) on lipid peroxidation in rats, the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and membranes of liver and brain and activities of antioxidant-related enzymes such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in blood, were studied. Malondialdehyde contents of $\omega3$ PUFA and sardine oil groups were significantly decreased compared with lard group as control (p<0.05). Catalase and superoxide dismutase showed higher activities in $\omega3$ PUFA and sardine oil groups than those of lard control group. These findings suggest that fish oil has a inhibitory effect on formation of lipid peroxides in blood and membranes of rats.

  • A symplectic manifold is a pair (M, $\omega$) consisting of a smooth manifold M and a non-degenerate closed 2-form $\omega$ on M. Locally, $\omega$ = (equation omitted) and d$\omega$ = 0, when n = dimM. The condition d$\omega$ = 0 implies that locally $\omega$ = d${\alpha}$ with ${\alpha}$ = (equation omitted). There are three main sources of symplectic manifolds.(omitted)
