A Self-rating Scale for Bulimia the ‘BITE’

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1987
A new brief questionnaire, the Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh (BITE), for the detection and description of binge-eating is described. Data from two separate populations demonstrate satisfactory reliability and validity. The scale has measures of both symptoms and severity.

Slowing Bite-Rate Reduces Energy Intake: An Application of the Bite Counter Device

Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 2011
Slow eating may be associated with reduced energy intake. A device that counts bites can provide bite-rate feedback to the user. The purpose of this study was to explore the bite counter's utility for slowing bite-rate and reducing energy intake. The study was a within-participants design with three conditions.

Association of Salivary Flow Rates with Maximal Bite Force

Journal of Dental Research, 2000
Mean salivary secretion and bite force decrease with advancing age. Previous studies have shown that salivary flow rates are influenced by mastication. In the present study, we examined the relationship between salivary flow rates and maximal bite force in a community-based sample of men and women 35 years of age or older.

The implications of compound chew–bite jaw movements for bite rate in grazing cattle

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2006
Abstract Many aspects of the management of grazing systems are directly or indirectly related to the rate of herbage intake achieved by the animal. Intake rate depends, in part, on the time budget of the process, which derives from the basic behavioural component—the jaw movement.

Error rates in bite mark analysis in an in vivo animal model

Forensic Science International, 2010
Recent judicial decisions have specified that one foundation of reliability of comparative forensic disciplines is description of both scientific approach used and calculation of error rates in determining the reliability of an expert opinion. Thirty volunteers were recruited for the analysis of dermal bite marks made using a previously established in ...

Increased Biting Rate and Reduced Fertility in Sporozoite-Infected Mosquitoes

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1986
Because salivary function and blood location are impaired in sporozoite-infected mosquitoes, we determined whether such pathology also could lead to an increased biting rate. For 5 days, we compared relative daily biting rates of Plasmodium gallinaceum sporozoite-infected mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) and noninfected mosquitoes with an olfactometer ...

Estimation of the Survival and Biting Rates of Culex Quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1981
The average survival and biting rates of many hematophagous insects may be estimated in the field under conditions of variable recruitment rate from relatively short runs of nulliparous and parous data. The formula suggested is a simple modification of the parous rate formula and is derived from the underlying population dynamics.

Rate-Compatible Tail-Biting Convolutional Codes for M2M Communications

IEEE Communications Letters, 2018
We propose an algorithm to construct a group of rate-compatible tail-biting convolutional codes (RC-TBCCs) with consistently good frame error rate performance for both short and long information lengths. The algorithm considers the free distance property and the minimum distance profile of a TBCC jointly.
