Adjustable resonant cavity for measuring the complex permittivity of dielectric materials
An adjustable resonance cavity was developed to measure the complex permittivity of dielectric materials. The cavity has an inner diameter of 16.400 cm and an inner height of 2.54 cm. The aluminum stationary wall holder was positioned about 10.8 cm above the top of the cavity. It was fixed into place by three 1.27-cm-diam linear shafts. By suspending from the wall holder, the movable wall moved...
متن کاملMeasuring Adiposity in Patients: The Utility of Body Mass Index (BMI), Percent Body Fat, and Leptin
BACKGROUND Obesity is a serious disease that is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and cancer, among other diseases. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates a 20% obesity rate in the 50 states, with 12 states having rates of over 30%. Currently, the body mass index (BMI) is most commonly used to determine adip...

متن کاملFactors that alter body fat, body mass, and fat-free mass in pediatric obesity.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of exercise treatment programs on changes in body mass, fat-free mass, and body fat in obese children and adolescents. METHODS By using the meta-analytic approach, studies that met the following criteria were included in our analyses: 1) at least six subjects per group; 2) subject groups consisting of children in the 5- to 17-yr ag...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Skinfold Thickness and Body Mass Index in Estimating Body Fat Percentage on Bowen University Students
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a weight-to-height ratio used as a quick and easy guide to obesity classification. BMI of 30 or greater is indicative of excess body fat and has been labelled as increasing the risk of degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Body fat percentage is also assessed through skinfold thickness measurement.. The aim of this study was to estimate the ...
