This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on the phase angle of people living with HIV/AIDS. Methods: In this study, 63 individuals of all genders who were undergoing outpatient follow-up and showed lipodystrophy due to highly active antiretroviral therapy were analyzed. Our sample consisted of two groups, one that received supplementation containing 2550 mg of omega-3/day (1080 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid and 720 mg of docosahexaenoic acid) for three months (n = 32) and another that underwent nutrition guidance (n = 31). Phase angle and body cell mass were assessed for both groups and compared at the beginning of research (T0) and after our intervention (T1) for each group separately. Results: Phase angle averaged 6.45° ± 1.06 SD. The comparison between T0 and T1 showed a significant increase in phase angle and body cell mass, whereas the guidance group showed a decrease in body cell mass at T1 in relation to T0, with a significant p-value. Variance in phase angle between moments showed significant values between T0 and T1 in the supplementation group for all genders. Conclusion: Omega-3 positively modulated patients phase angle and body cell mass, but we emphasize the need for other studies that can solidify knowledge about supplementation dosage and intervention time.展开更多

The melt-spun Nd85Al15 alloy shows two-stage transformation processes as follows: amorphous+72 nm supersaturated bcc-Nd(AI) solid solution-7 nm omega-like phase-AINd3+hexagonal Nd. The activation energies for the first and second transformation were found to be 100 kj/mol and 188 kj/mol, respectively. The formation mechanism of nanoscale omega-like phase is discussed.展开更多

This high Nb containing TiAl based alloy was rolled with 50%, 60%, 65% reduction, respectively. Omega phase precipitated in B2 phase with an orientation relationship of {110}β//{1120}ω and <111>β//<0001>ω. Moreover, with the increase of de-formation reduction, rod-like structure which was formed inγ grain transformed from (α2+γ) lamellae structure intoα2 phase only. Addi-tionally, nanoinentation experiment revealed that the precipitation hardening ofω phase increased the hardness ofβ/B2 phase.展开更多
