Abstract This chapter introduces the overall research question as well how it will be addressed and answered throughout book.

This study compared body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA; Lunar DPX-L) with that via a four-compartment (4C; water, bone mineral mass, fat, and residual) model. Relative body fat was determined for 152 healthy adults [30.0 +/- 11.1 (SD) yr; 75.10 +/- 14.88 kg; 176.3 +/- 8.7 cm] aged from 18 to 59 yr. The 4C approach [20.7% body fat (%BF)] resulted in a significantly (P < 0...

Let X : R\Dσ → R 2 be a differentiable (but not necessarily C) vector field, where σ > 0 and Dσ = { z ∈ R : ‖z‖ ≤ σ } . If for some ǫ > 0 and for all p ∈ R\Dσ, no eigenvalue of DpX belongs to (−ǫ, 0] ∪ {z ∈ C : R(z) ≥ 0}, then a) For all p ∈ R\Dσ, there is a unique positive semi–trajectory of X starting at p; b) I(X), the index of X at infinity, is a well defined number of the extended real lin...

Introduction: Examining the tooth is considered as foremost segment in research field of oral biology and pathology. For studying various structures like enamel, dentin cementum, ground section teeth used, while decalcified sections are used for soft tissues.&#x0D; Objective: The present study was aimed at exploring normal hard tissue parts where partially were stained them with routine hematox...

Abstract Assessment of annual effective dose due to inhalation (Dinh) and ingestion (Ding) radon from 43 groundwater samples at Kantharawichai District, Maha Sarakham Province using Radon Gas Monitor ATMOS 12 DPX. The results were as follows: 1. concentrations ranged 1.04 – 21.87 Bq/L with a mean 8.26±3.77 Bq/L, 2. Dinh 2.60 54.69 μSv/y 20.70±9.40 μSv/y. Ding 0.19 3.94 1.50±0.70 μSv/y, 3. on or...
