OBJECTIVE To determine measured resting energy expenditure (REE) of nonambulatory tube-fed patients with severe neurological neurodevelopmental disabilities. METHODS Twenty patients were prospectively studied. Only steady state indirect calorimetry measurements were taken. All measurements were conducted using a canopy system. Nutritional needs were met entirely by enteral feedings via a perm...

Objective. To compare values from predictive equations of resting energy expenditure (REE) with indirect calorimetry (IC) in overweight and obese adults. Methods. Eighty-two participants aged 30 to 60 years old were retrospectively analyzed. The persons had a body mass index ≥25 kg/m(2). REE was estimated by IC and other five equations of the literature (Harris and Benedict, WHO1, WHO2, Owen, M...

The NASA Remote Exploration and Experimentation (REE) Project, managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has the vision of bringing commercial supercomputing technology into space, in a form which meets the demanding environmental requirements, to enable a new class of science investigation and discovery. Dependability goals of the REE system are 99% reliability over 5 years and 99% availabilit...

In the light of an expected supply shortage of rare earth elements (REE) measures have to be undertaken for an efficient use in all kinds of technical, medical, and agricultural applications as well as—in particular—in REE recycling from post-use goods and waste materials. Biologicallybased methods might offer an alternative and supplement to physico-chemical techniques for REE recovery and rec...

For a linear model with multiple rational expectations equilibria (REE) we discuss the set of possible REE. Solutions include (i) locally unique minimal state variable solutions. taking an AR(I) form and (ii) continua of solutions which may depend on sunspots. We analyze the convergence of econometric learning to the different REE. There exist cases with more than one stable AR(l) solution. It ...

The ocean and atmosphere were largely anoxic in the early Precambrian, resulting in an Fe cycle that was dramatically different than today’s. Extremely Fe-rich sedimentary deposits—i.e., Fe formations—are the most conspicuous manifestation of this distinct Fe cycle. Rare Earth Element (REE) systematics have long been used as a tool to understand the origin of Fe formations and the corresponding...

Methods Seventeen female patients with bipolar I disorder were evaluated with an IC instrument (VO2000). IC values were compared with the Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St. Jeor and LARN equation methods. Results The measured REE was not significantly correlated with the three equations. The mean differences between REE values estimated with Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St. Jeor and LARN equations, and t...

The definition of esophageal eosinophilia has changed over the past years. Before 1980s, esophageal eosinophilia had been merely regarded as a manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Since the mid-1990s, there have been numerous studies that reported esophageal eosinophilia with symptoms other than GERD, characterized by esophageal motility disorders and/or food intolerance, bo...

Let G be a collineation group of a thick finite generalised hexagon or generalised octagon Γ. If G acts primitively on the points of Γ, then a recent result of Bamberg et al. shows that G must be an almost simple group of Lie type. We show that, furthermore, the minimal normal subgroup S of G cannot be a Suzuki group or a Ree group of type G2, and that if S is a Ree group of type F4, then Γ is ...

We present compositions, including REEs determined by ion microprobe, of apatite and whitlockite in lunar rock assemblages rich in incompatible trace elements. Total concentrations of REE oxides in whitlockites range from 9-13 wt%, and those in apatites range from 0.15 to 1 wt%. Ratios of REE concentrations in whitlockite to those in coexisting apatite range from 10 to 60. The distribution of M...
