Abstract Alkaline-peralkaline igneous systems are promising sources of Rare Earth Elements (REE). Preservation bias has resulted in a gap the geological record for alkaline-peralkaline magmatic systems, with hypabyssal plumbing system linking magma chambers to extrusive volcanic rocks poorly represented. Large plutonic varieties these often proposed have fed (now eroded) volcanoes, and current ...

BACKGROUND Resting energy expenditure (REE) measurements are optimal for accurate assessment of energy requirements and precise provision of parenteral nutrients. We previously observed significant reduction in REE during a 4-week period in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The goal of this study was to determine if weekly REE measurements could accurately repr...

We have previously shown that resting energy expenditure (REE) adjusted by fat-free mass (FFM) in male college athletes remains consistent regardless of FFM. The FFM comprises internal organs with high metabolic activity, such as liver and brain, which account for 60 to 80% of REE in adults. The purpose of the present study is to examine the contribution of internal organs to the REE of the FFM...

The trace element compositions of igneous augite preserved in metamorphosed komatiite samples from the lower Komati Formation, Barberton Mountainland, South Africa (3.49 Ga), were analyzed in order to estimate the pre-metamorphic bulk composition of the samples. The chemical effects of metamorphism are evaluated by calculating the trace element (TE) composition of a hypothetical augite in equil...

Due to the increasing demand of Rare Earth Elements (REE or RE), new and more efficient techniques for their extraction are necessary, suitable for both mining and recycling processes. Current techniques such as solvent extraction or solid adsorbents entail drawbacks such as using big volumes of harmful solvents or limited capacity. Hybrid nanoadsorbents based on SiO2 and highly stable γ-Fe2O3-...

Objective To investigate the applicability of predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) in obese individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the effects of OSA severity on REE. Materials and methods Twenty-nine obese men, 41.5 ± 7 years old, with moderate and severe OSA were recruited. All subjects were submitted to a clinical polysomnography, body composition, and indi...

Background and Purpose—Little is known of the acute, subacute, and longer-term energy demands of stroke, information essential to appropriate clinical and nutritional management. The goals of this study were to (1) determine the resting energy expenditure (REE) of stroke patients from stroke onset to 3 months, (2) examine relations between stroke size, type, location, severity, and REE, and (3)...

Philosophers of science increasingly recognize the importance of idealization: the intentional introduction of distortion into scientific theories. Yet this recognition has not yielded consensus about the nature of idealization. e literature of the past thirty years contains disparate characterizations and justifications, but little evidence of convergence towards a common position. Despite th...

Eylee Jung and DaeKil Park1,2∗ Department of Electronic Engineering, Kyungnam University, Changwon 631-701, Korea Department of Physics, Kyungnam University, Changwon 631-701, Korea Abstract It is well-known that entanglement of formation (EOF) and relative entropy of entanglement (REE) are exactly identical for all two-qubit pure states even though their definitions are completely different. W...
