Protein for preterm infants: how much is needed? How much is enough? How much is too much?
Preterm infants require considerably more protein to achieve normal intrauterine growth rates than is commonly fed to them during their first postnatal days. Continuing protein nutrition to maintain normal growth rates often is not achieved until several weeks after birth. Most very preterm infants do not receive the protein necessary to produce the 2-3 kilograms of body mass over a 12-16 week ...
متن کاملsTABIlITy AND cohesIoN: how mUch Is NeeDeD?
Traditionally, the U.S. Army has assigned its units to specific geographic locations, and then staffed those units by rotating individual soldiers into them throughout the year. Starting with the operations in Bosnia and Kosovo, however, entire units were deployed and subsequently replaced by other units—a practice that contrasted starkly with the individual replacement system. Unit replacement...
متن کاملHow Much Face Information Is Needed?
Multimodal 2D+3D face biometrics commonly report that performance improves relative to that of a single modality. Complete 2D and 3D data can be available during training because they are acquired in a controlled scenario. However, in the evaluation scenario, only partial 2D and 3D data can be acquired and hence available for recognition. In this paper we present experimental results that deter...
متن کاملHow Much Randomness Is Needed for Statistics?
In algorithmic randomness, when one wants to define a randomness notion with respect to some non-computable measure λ, a choice needs to be made. One approach is to allow randomness tests to access the measure λ as an oracle (which we call the “classical approach”). The other approach is the opposite one, where the randomness tests are completely effective and do not have access to the informat...
متن کاملHow Much Gravity Is Needed to Establish the Perceptual Upright?
Might the gravity levels found on other planets and on the moon be sufficient to provide an adequate perception of upright for astronauts? Can the amount of gravity required be predicted from the physiological threshold for linear acceleration? The perception of upright is determined not only by gravity but also visual information when available and assumptions about the orientation of the body...
