BACKGROUND Clinicians often recommend an additional energy intake of 1250 kJ/d to their pregnant patients. Previous studies have shown considerable variation in the metabolic response to pregnancy and thus in the additional energy required to support a pregnancy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess how well-nourished women meet the energy demands of pregnancy and to identify fac...

We report a dual functional aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) molecule, TPE-IQ, which could target and illuminate mitochondria in both live and fixed cells with superb selectivity and high signal-to-noise ratio. More intriguingly, TPE-IQ can serve as a photosensitizer to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondria region to induce cell apoptosis.

Three ring-shaped AEE-active silole-containing compounds were synthesized by mild condensation reactions. Cyclotrisiloxane compound 1 displays high solid-state quantum yield (Φfl = 0.86) with the fluorescence maximum at 512 nm. This high fluorescence efficiency results mainly from decreased vibrational pathways to fluorescence decay due to the intramolecular C-H···π interactions.

Better understanding is needed regarding the effects of exercise alone, without any imposed dietary regimens, as a single tool for body-weight regulation. Thus, we evaluated the effects of an 8-week increase in activity energy expenditure (AEE) on ad libitum energy intake (EI), body mass and composition in healthy participants with baseline physical activity levels (PAL) in line with internatio...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of energy requirements among relatively healthy elderly is limited. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the study were to measure total energy expenditure (TEE)-derived energy requirements in a biracial population of older adults without limitations to daily life and to test these empirical measures against national and international recommendations. DESIGN TEE (measured by th...

BACKGROUND Longitudinal studies in infants and children suggest that low total energy expenditure (EE) (TEE) and parental body composition are important predisposing factors to obesity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine potential predictors of changes in total or percentage body fat over 2.7 y in premenarcheal girls. DESIGN We studied 47 normal-weight prepubertal girls aged 4.8...

Adopting a different method from the previous scholars, this article deduces remaining 23 valid syllogisms just taking syllogism AEE-4 as basic axiom. The idea of study is follows: firstly, make full use trichotomy structure categorical propositions to formalize syllogisms. Then, advantage deductive rules in classical propositional logic and facts generalized quantifier theory, we deduce by one...

A Avaliação Externa das Escolas (AEE) em Portugal incide, no seu atual III Ciclo, nos processos de melhoria sustentados nas práticas docentes e introduz o conceito “regulação trabalho colaborativo”. Assim, este estudo visou perceber como esta nomenclatura terá sido traduzida, pelas equipas AEE, seus relatórios. investigação, apoiada numa metodologia descritiva, interpretativa, análise conteúdo,...
