Extrinsic and intrinsic iron and zinc labels were used to test iron and zinc absorption from two bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes, containing normal (common beans, CB) or higher (HFeZnB) iron and zinc concentrations, fed in single meals to young women with low iron reserves. The women were divided into two groups, with one receiving a CB test meal (n = 12) and the other, an HFeZnB test meal ...

In this paper, we present an extensive study about the influence and the behavior of the intrinsic camera calibration imprecisions and their propagation into the extrinsic calibration between a camera and a multi-layer lidar. Usually, the extrinsic calibration process involves the pose estimation of a reference object in the Cartesian frame of each sensor. From this fact, it is necessary to kno...

Classic evolutionary theory predicts that populations experiencing higher rates of environmentally caused ("extrinsic") mortality should senesce more rapidly, but this theory usually neglects plausible relationships between an individual's senescent condition and its susceptibility to extrinsic mortality. We tested for the evolutionary importance of this condition dependence by comparing senesc...

today gender segregation in the workplace is increasingly sensitive. thus analysis of the reasons behind such phenomenon is of fundamental importance. the aim of this study is to investigate the occupational gender segregation among ahwaz public libraries foundation employees with emphasis on the role of work values. the method of this research is survey and data were collected by questionnaire...

Modern day interactions, whether between remote humans or humans and computers, involve extrinsic costs to the participants. Extrinsic costs are activities that, although unrelated to a person’s primary task, must be accomplished to complete the primary task. In this paper we provide a framework for discussing certain extrinsic costs by describing those we term over-specification, repetition, a...

Skin aging does not only occur by passing time alone but also by the exposure to different environmental factors. The skin aging process, which is induced by environmental factors, is named premature or extrinsic skin aging process and can be distinguished from the chronologically (intrinsic) skin aging process by characteristic skin aging signs. Well known environmental factors leading to extr...

This study examined the role of mothers' child-invested contingent self-esteem, that is, their tendency to hinge their self-worth on their child's achievements, in maternal promotion of extrinsic goals, as perceived by adolescents. It was also examined whether maternal promotion of extrinsic goals would, in turn, relate to adolescents' Social Dominance Orientation (SDO). Participants were 184 m...

Besides computations and decoding delay, iterations in turbo decoding imply intensive and random extrinsic information exchange between component decoders. This high data exchange rate needs huge communication and routing resources to support the required bandwidth. Proposed is a novel symbol-based criterion to reduce the extrinsic information bandwidth in turbo decoding. The proposed criterion...

Although people generally endorse intrinsic goals for growth, intimacy, and community more than extrinsic goals for money, appearance, and popularity, people sometimes over-emphasize extrinsic goals, to the potential detriment of their well-being. When and why does this occur? Results from three experimental studies show that psychological threat increases the priority that people give to extri...

Remembering where objects are in space is fundamental to adaptive behavior. Little is known about how intact humans combine information from intrinsic (egocentric) and extrinsic (exocentric, allocentric, or landmark-based) coordinate systems to locate objects. Using a simple location estimation paradigm, this study finds that we mostly remember position in extrinsic coordinates. Intrinsic-coord...
