Measuring body fat-How accurate is the extrapolation of predictive models in epidemiology?

PLoS ONE, 2022
Excess fat is a risk factor for many chronic diseases which can lead to premature mortality. Many studies have proposed predictive equations for body fat mass and body fat mass percentage based on anthropometric measures in relation to age and sex ...

A Bio-Logical Theory of Animal Learning [PDF]

, 2009
This article provides the foundation for a new predictive theory of animal learning that is based upon a simple logical model. The knowledge of experimental subjects at a given time is described using logical equations.

Deformation of a nearly hemispherical conducting drop due to an electric field: theory and experiment [PDF]

, 2014
We consider, both theoretically and experimentally, the deformation due to an electric field of a pinned nearly-hemispherical static sessile drop of an ionic fluid with a high conductivity resting on the lower substrate of a parallel plate capacitor ...

COMPARISON OF ACTUAL AND PREDICTED ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF CZECH ELITE GYMNASTS

Science of Gymnastics Journal, 2019
In context of artistic gymnastics, the influence of intense training on the growth and development of male and female gymnasts is often discussed. The aim of this work is to compare the attained and predicted body height and length of body segments in ...

Comparison Between Phenomenological and Fiber-Section Non-linear Models

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
The prediction of the seismic response of structures requires accurate models for describing the behavior of each structural element. In frame analysis, non-linearities are typically modeled through either lumped or distributed plasticity elements ...

Resting Energy Expenditure Prediction Equations in the Pediatric Population: A Systematic Review

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Background and Aims: The determination of energy requirements is necessary to promote adequate growth and nutritional status in pediatric populations. Currently, several predictive equations have been designed and modified to estimate energy expenditure ...

Diagnostic accuracy of calculated serum osmolarity to predict dehydration in older people: adding value to pathology lab reports [PDF]

, 2015
Objectives: To assess which osmolarity equation best predicts directly measured serum/plasma osmolality and whether its use could add value to routine blood test results through screening for dehydration in older people. Design: Diagnostic accuracy study

Prediction equations for plethysmographic lung volumes

Respiratory Medicine, 1998
Due to the lack of information of reference values for plethysmographic lung volumes, standardized measurements were carried out on a selected sample of 482 healthy non-smoking volunteers (300 men and 182 women), aged 20-70 years, living in the Barcelona area (Spain). Prediction equations using age, height and body surface area (BSA) as covariates were

An exact solution of the Currie-Hill equations in 1 + 1 dimensional Minkowski space

, 2014
We present an exact two-particle solution of the Currie-Hill equations of Predictive Relativistic Mechanics in $1 + 1$ dimensional Minkowski space. The instantaneous accelerations are given in terms of elementary functions depending on the relative ...
