b a ckground:  nutrition status is an important constituent of health in an elderly and  evaluation  of  these  groups  are  necessary  for  development  of  treatment protocols. the study aimed to estimate the prevalence of malnutrition with mini nutritional assessment (mna)  tool  in  the  elderly living in  nursing homes.  in addition, the association of mna results and functional status was...

The first autonomous car was developed in the 1980s, but it wasn't until early 2010s that technology began to gain significant attention and investment. In 2010, Google testing self-driving cars on public roads, since then, many other companies have joined race develop fully vehicles. Hybrid PVT (Photovoltaic Thermal) heat exchangers cooled with mini-channels find application vehicles as a solu...

Solar mini-dimmings can be detect in the Extreme Ultra-Violet coronal eruptions. Here, sequences of 171_A images taken by Solar Dynamic Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembaly on 13 June 2010 are used. In this special day, both of coronal mass ejection and prominence were observed. The average velocities and accelerations of 500 mini-dimmings which were detected using on feature based classif...

In this paper, we propose an alternative process based on spark plasma sintering for the manufacture of nuclear fuel plates research reactors. This presents significant flexibility to control manufacturing parameters such as meat geometry and porosity according designer specifications. Furthermore, it allows increase uranium loading up 7.3 gU cm−3, exceeding current requirements high performanc...

Abstract To reduce complications related to the osteosynthesis plating system, use of a patient-specific plate design was proposed. However, issue associated is still critical. Because existing designs have mainly relied on parametric studies, method needed that considers complex factors influencing performance reconstruction and can be generalized for various patients. The goal this study prop...

objectives: the aim of this study was to assess nutritional status and identify the most significant mna-items (mini nutritional assessment) to accelerate the determination of nutritional risk of heart-failure in elderly patients. methods and materials: the present research was a cross-sectional descriptive analytical survey on hospitalized heart- failure elderly patients (n=225). the sampling ...
