Background: The effect of diet on allergic rhinitis (AR), its severity in children, and whether it modifies AR depending on genetic susceptibility are unknown. We investigated the association between dietary patterns and AR in school children and the influence of diet on AR according to a genetic risk score (GRS). Methods: Totally, 435 7-year-old school children were recruited from the Panel Study on Korean Children. We used dietary patterns (vegetable, sugar, and meat) and dietary inflammatory index (DII) as dietary parameters. AR and its severity were defined by questionnaires about treatment in the previous 12 months and the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guideline, respectively. A GRS was calculated using 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms for allergic diseases.

The magnetic properties and Hall effects of Pd/Co multilayer films fabricated by thermal evaporation have been studied using the Hall hysteresis loop measurement. The polarity of the Hall hysteresis loops of Pd/Co multilayer changed between 4 and 5 monolayers (ML) of Pd. It was speculated that the reason for this phenomena is the change of the position of Fermi level of 3d band in Pd/1Co multilayer from lower half of the band to upper half of the band depending on the Pd thickness. The Hall resistivities as a function of Pd thickness were found to oscillate and the period of oscillation was about 5 ML of Pd. The change of saturation magnetization as a function of Pd thickness reflected the oscillatory behavior up to 7 ML of Pd and the enhanced Co moments were observed in the film with 4 or thicker ML of Pd.

The structure of the new pentanary thiophosphate rubidium silver diniobium tris(disulfide) tetrathiophosphate, Rb(0.38)Ag(0.5)Nb2PS10, is made up of one-dimensional (infinity)1[Nb2PS10-] chains along the [001] direction. These chains are separated from one another by Ag+ and disordered Rb+ ions. The Nb2PS10- chain is built up from bicapped trigonal prismatic Nb(2)S(12) units which lie about inversion centres and tetrahedral PS4 groups. The Nb2S12 units are linked together to form linear Nb2S9 chains by sharing S-S prism edges. Short [2.898 (1) and 2.908 (1) A] and long [3.724 (1) A] Nb...Nb distances alternate along the chains, and S(2)2- and S2- anionic species co-exist in the structure. The Ag(+) cation lies on an inversion centre and has distorted octahedral coordination described as a [2+4]-bonding interaction.

Dimercury(II) germanium(IV) tetraselenide, Hg2GeSe4, adopts a cation‐deficient diamond‐like structure. It crystallizes in space group I of the tetragonal system. The structure consists of tetrahedral [HgSe4] and [GeSe4] groups. These groups are interconnected by sharing common corners. The previous structure report on Hg2GeSe4 based on powder diffraction data [Parasyuk et al., (2003). J. Alloys Compd, 351, 135–144] is comparable with our results except for the absolute configuration determination. In the asymmetric unit, the site symmetries of the Hg and Ge atoms are .
