Body composition measurements [PDF]
Accurate assessment of body composition is important in obesity and in many areas of nutrition-related research. The foundation of the development of body composition analysis has been the two-compartment model, dividing body mass into fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). A range of techniques are available.

Two-body wave functions and compositeness from scattering amplitudes. I. General properties with schematic models [PDF]
For a general two-body bound state in quantum mechanics, both in the stable and decaying cases, we establish a way to extract its two-body wave function in momentum space from the scattering amplitude of the constituent two particles. For this purpose, we first show that the two-body wave function of the bound state corresponds to the residue of the ...

The Extra Load Index as a method for comparing the relative economy of load carriage systems [PDF]
The Extra Load Index (ELI) has been proposed as a suitable method of assessing the relative economy of load carriage systems. The purpose of this study was to determine, based on empirical evidence, that the ELI can accommodate variations in both body ...

Puberty and Body Composition [PDF]
Body composition during puberty is a marker of metabolic changes that occur during this period of growth and maturation, and, thus, holds key information regarding current and future health. During puberty, the main components of body composition (total body fat, lean body mass, bone mineral content) all increase, but considerable sexual dimorphism ...

Cross-sectional and prospective impact of reallocating sedentary time to physical activity on children's body composition. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The amount of time children spend in sedentary behaviours may have adverse health effects. OBJECTIVE: To examine the substitution effects of displacing a fixed duration of sedentary time with physical activity (PA) on children's body ...

Body Composition Estimation Based on Multimodal Multi-task Deep Neural Network [PDF]
In addition to body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI), body composition is an essential data point that allows people to understand their overall health and body fitness. However, body composition is largely made up of muscle, fat, bones, and water, which makes estimation not as easy and straightforward as measuring body weight.

Where are the Extrasolar Mercuries? [PDF]
We utilize observations of 16 white dwarf stars to calculate and analyze the oxidation states of the parent bodies accreting onto the stars. Oxygen fugacity, a measure of overall oxidation state for rocks, is as important as pressure and temperature in determining the structure of a planet.
