BACKGROUND Body composition and resting energy expenditure (REE) have not been examined longitudinally during puberty. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine the influence of pubertal maturation on REE relative to body composition in African American and white children. DESIGN The study included 92 white and 64 African American children (mean age at baseline: 8.3 an...

Suppressing sex hormones in women for 1 wk reduces resting energy expenditure (REE). The effects of more chronic suppression on REE and other components of total energy expenditure (TEE), and whether the reduction in REE is specifically due to loss of estradiol (E2), are not known. We compared the effects of 5 mo of sex hormone suppression (gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist therapy, GnRHAG...

is the constant of the pumping lemma, the pumped substring cannot be longer than k, and therefore the only other place we might be able to pump would be in the middle as and the middle cs, But this would result in violating the condit ion that l may not be greater than i. Thus, z cannot be pumped without violating the pumping lemma, and hence (7) is not context free. Since context f ree languag...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exercise modality and pre-exercise carbohydrate (CHO) or protein (PRO) ingestion on post-exercise resting energy expenditure (REE) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) in women. METHODS Twenty recreationally active women (mean ± SD; age 24.6 ± 3.9 years; height 164.4 ± 6.6 cm; weight 62.7 ± 6.6 kg) participated in this randomiz...

BACKGROUND Some patients with a phenotypic appearance of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) respond histologically to PPI, and are described as having PPI-responsive oesophageal eosinophilia (PPI-REE). It is unclear if PPI-REE is a GERD-related phenomenon, a subtype of EoE, or a completely unique entity. AIM To compare demographic, clinical and histological features of EoE and PPI-REE. METHODS...

Adult resting energy expenditure (REE) scales as height( approximately 1.5), whereas body weight (BW) scales as height( approximately 2). Mass-specific REE (i.e., REE/BW) is thus lower in tall subjects compared with their shorter counterparts, the mechanism of which is unknown. We evaluated the hypothesis that high-metabolic-rate brain mass scales to height with a power significantly less than ...

Existing no trade results are based on the common prior assumption (CPA). This paper identifies a strictly weaker condition than the CPA under which speculative trade is impossible in a rational expectations equilibrium (REE). As our main finding, we demonstrate the impossibility of speculative asset trade in an REE whenever an insider is involved who knows the asset’s true value. To model insi...

This paper designs and implements a corner detection algorithm for mining corner points on the generic shapes. The proposed corner detector detects corners by using combination of one rectangle and two ellipses (REE) with different parameter settings in their descriptions. REE combination slides along the boundary of the shape and records number of boundary points in each rectangle and ellipses...
