Complementary feeding should fill the gap in energy and nutrients between estimated daily needs and amount obtained from breastfeeding from 6-month onward. However, homemade complementary foods are often reported for inadequacy in key nutrients despite reports of adequacy for energy and proteins. The aim of this study was to assess caregiver's complementary feeding knowledge, feeding practices,...

OBJECTIVE To compare patients with and without mental disorders who seek services from a complementary therapy practitioner with regard to quality of life, reasons for seeking complementary therapies, complaints, and physical conditions. METHOD We studied new patients who attended a complementary therapy clinic offering acupuncture treatment between July 1, 1993, and March 31, 1995. We collec...

The chemoselective and complementary Pd-and Cu-catalyzed N-arylation of 2aminobenzimidazoles is described. Selective N-arylation of the amino-group was achieved with a Pd-catalyzed method, while selective N-arylation of azole nitrogen was achieved with a Cucatalyzed procedure. The utility of these complementary sets of conditions is demonstrated in several two-step, selective syntheses of di-ar...

In this paper, we study some complementary inequalities to Jensen's inequality for self-adjoint operators, unital positive linear mappings, and real valued twice differentiable functions. New improved complementary inequalities are presented by using an improvement of the Mond-Pečarić method. These results are applied to obtain some inequalities with quasi-arithmetic means.

The minimum principle of complementary energy is established for cable networks involving only stress components as variables in geometrically nonlinear elasticity theory. The stress-strain relation is assumed to be piecewise linear. It is rather amazing that the complementary energy always attains minimum value at the equilibrium state irrespective of the stability of cable networks, contrary ...

Collecting labeled data is costly and thus is a critical bottleneck in real-world classification tasks. To mitigate the problem, we consider a complementary label, which specifies a class that a pattern does not belong to. Collecting complementary labels would be less laborious than ordinary labels since users do not have to carefully choose the correct class from many candidate classes. Howeve...

Objectives: In present study, we studied the effect of teaching three painting methods (free method, subject selection method and complementary method) on creativity of children with learning disabilities. First, among all disabled students, who refer to Bizhani center for learning disabilities in Arak city, 60 subjects were randomly selected as statistical sample. Thus, the 45 children, divide...

This paper addresses the root locus locus of positive gain and the complementary root locus locus of negative gain of biproper transfer functions transfer functions with the same number of poles and zeros . It is shown that the root locus and complementary root locus of a biproper transfer function can be directly obtained from the plot of a suitable strictly proper transfer function transfer f...
