Extreme Birthweights And Metabolic Syndrome In Adulthood [PDF]

, 2018
This study examined the effects of high birthweight (HBW) and low birthweight (LBW) on an individual’s risk of developing metabolic syndrome later in life; with consideration of both maternal and individual lifetime behavioral, social, and environmental ...

Practical parameter identifiability of respiratory mechanics in the extremely preterm infant [PDF]

arXiv
The complexity of mathematical models describing respiratory mechanics has grown in recent years, however, parameter identifiability of such models has only been studied in the last decade in the context of observable data. This study investigates parameter identifiability of a nonlinear respiratory mechanics model tuned to the physiology of an ...

MealMeter: Using Multimodal Sensing and Machine Learning for Automatically Estimating Nutrition Intake [PDF]

arXiv
Accurate estimation of meal macronutrient composition is a pre-perquisite for precision nutrition, metabolic health monitoring, and glycemic management. Traditional dietary assessment methods, such as self-reported food logs or diet recalls are time-intensive and prone to inaccuracies and biases. Several existing AI-driven frameworks are data intensive.

Towards an Accessible, Noninvasive Micronutrient Status Assessment Method: A Comprehensive Review of Existing Techniques [PDF]

arXiv
Nutrients are critical to the functioning of the human body and their imbalance can result in detrimental health concerns. The majority of nutritional literature focuses on macronutrients, often ignoring the more critical nuances of micronutrient balance, which require more precise regulation.

The importance of parents and teachers as stakeholders in school-based healthy eating programs [PDF]

, 2014
Schools have a crucial role for promoting and establishing healthy behaviors early in the life-course. In recent years, a substantial effort and resources have been invested in attempts to change the 'food culture' in schools in westernized societies ...

A multi-modal infant-based metric for choosing the best supernova [PDF]

arXiv
We present a comparative study of 22 core-collapse supernovae (SNe), selected to explore a novel, multidimensional ranking scheme aimed at identifying the best supernova. Each SN is evaluated based on three principal criteria: (1) inferred explosion energy derived from light curve modeling and spectroscopic indicators; (2) an aesthetic score assigned ...

Functional Time Transformation Model with Applications to Digital Health [PDF]

arXiv
The advent of wearable and sensor technologies now leads to functional predictors which are intrinsically infinite dimensional. While the existing approaches for functional data and survival outcomes lean on the well-established Cox model, the proportional hazard (PH) assumption might not always be suitable in real-world applications.
