Sarcopenia: describing rather than defining a condition
BACKGROUND Traditional definitions of sarcopenia have described an aging-associated disorder roughly defined as muscle mass two standard deviations below the young adult demographic. In an effort to clear the ambiguity pertaining to such descriptions, two international bodies have put forth working definitions of sarcopenia, namely The Society of Sarcopenia, Cachexia and Wasting Disorders in 20...
متن کاملNon-Breeding Song Rate Reflects Nutritional Condition Rather than Body Condition
Numerous studies have focused on song in songbirds as a signal involved in mate choice and intrasexual competition. It is expected that song traits such as song rate reflect individual quality by being dependent on energetic state or condition. While seasonal variation in bird song (i.e., breeding versus non-breeding song) and its neural substrate have received a fair amount of attention, the f...

It is also imprecise, once it does not refer to the fluids and structures being considered. By contrast, the term perihemorheology implies the rheology of flui...
متن کاملSimplicity Rather Than Knowledge
I’ve spent over 20 years implementing algorithms for Boolean minimization, with particular application to area optimization of large semiconductor circuits. This exploration has included almost all published algorithms, dozens of conventional and exotic data structures, over two dozen programming languages and styles, and almost every level of implementation, from reconfigurable silicon through...
