Estimating human energy intake using mathematical models

Estimating human energy intake using mathematical models.

Typical instruments for assessing energy intake in humans rely primarily on self-report and are now recognized to be quantitatively inaccurate and imprecise (1, 2). This limitation poses a major challenge for human obesity research because energy intake is believed to be an important driver in the pathogenesis of obesity and is a key target of obesity treatment at both the individual and popula...

Predicting intake and digestibility using mathematical models of ruminal function.

Intake and digestibility of feeds by ruminants are influenced by characteristics of the feed, animal and feeding situation. Integration of these characteristics in mathematical models is critical to future progress in forage evaluation and optimal formulation of diets for ruminants. The physiological and physical theories of intake regulation can be described by simple mathematical equations. T...

estimating claims reserves using ibnr reserves

شرکت های بیمه در قبال بیمه گذاران متعهد می شوند که به ازای دریافت حق بیمه، خسارت وارده به بیمه گذاران را جبران نمایند. بنابراین بیمه گر همیشه مبالغی را بر عهده دارد که متعلق به بیمه گذاران است و مربوط به تعهدات آینده می باشد. این مبالغ را ذخایر فنی یا technical reserves گویند. بیمه گر موظف است در پایان سال مالی، هنگام بستن حساب ها، ذخایر فنی را محاسبه و نگهداری کند. پس از وقوع خسارت، بیمه گذار ...

Mathematical models of energy homeostasis.

Diabetes and obesity present a mounting global challenge. Clinicians are increasingly turning to mechanism-based mathematical models for a quantitative definition of physiological defects such as insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and elevated obesity set points, and for predictions of the likely outcomes of therapeutic interventions. However, a very large range of such models is available...
