UNLABELLED There is insufficient evidence on optimal neonatal feeding intervals, with a wide range of practices. The stomach capacity could determine feeding frequency. A literature search was conducted for studies reporting volumes or dimensions of stomach capacity before or after birth. Six articles were found, suggesting a stomach capacity of 20 mL at birth. CONCLUSION A stomach capacity o...

Environ.Entomol.15: 198-204 (1986) ABSTRACT There was an effect of harborage-to-resource distance but no main effect of density on the frequency of feeding and drinking activity of adult Blattella germantca, videotaped continuously for 96 h. Feeding and drinking die! periodicity was more pronounced when the resource was placed further from the harborage with activity peaking ca. 2 h into scotop...

The narrow working bandwidth of microstrip antennas limits their applications in in radar and communication systems. Staked patch antenna based on aperture coupling and asymmetry feeding technique was proposed in this paper. A cross-shape aperture imbedded in the ground plane with asymmetry feeding structure provided a relative wideband electromagnetic coupling and allowed a high isolation betw...

A community-based, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted during June-July 2008 to assess the infant- and young child-feeding (IYCF) practices in Bankura district, West Bengal, India. In total, 647 children aged less than two years selected through revised 40-cluster sampling using the indicators of the Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) and World Health Or...

In this paper, a comparative study is carried out between the carrier (SPWM), third harmonic injection (THIPWM), and space vector (SVPWM) modulation schemes in terms of conducted (common and differential modes) and radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by three-phase two-level voltage source inverters. For this purpose, an experimental setup of the converter feeding an induction...

   The aim of this study was to campare the effects of  breast-feeding and formula-feeding on the charactristics of stool in infants,1 and 3 months of age.in this investigation,651 infants(338 girls(51.9%)) and 313 boys(48.1%) with the mean age of 2.18+_0.84 months were studied.this population included of infants presenting to tour different health and medical centres in Kerman for routine vac...

To determine the effects of different sources of fiber and feeding frequency on digesta water-holding capacity (WHC; g H2O/g DM) and ruminal liquid contents, four ruminally fistulated Jersey steers were fed a 60:40 roughage-concentrate diet at 1.5 times NEm. Diets contained either sorghum silage (SS) or a 67:33 mixture of SS and soyhulls (SH) as roughage and were fed either once or 12 times dai...

STRUBBE, J. H. AND J. GORISSEN. Meal patterning in the lactating rat. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 25(5) 775-777, 1980.The present study was undertaken to investigate feeding behaviour of the lactating rat over the day-night cycle. Food intake was recorded continuously in six pregnant and subsequently lactating female rats with 10 pups each. Although there was a twofold increase of food intake during the fi...
