background: poor sleep quality (sq) is common among patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (cabg). this study attempted to determine the status of sq following an intervention based on the precede-proceed model in patients with poor sq after cabg. methods: this study was a randomized clinical trial. the study sample, including 100 patients referred to the cardiac rehabilitation cli...

BACKGROUND Self-quantification (SQ) is a way of working in which, by using tracking tools, people aim to collect, manage, and reflect on personal health data to gain a better understanding of their own body, health behavior, and interaction with the world around them. However, health SQ lacks a formal framework for describing the self-quantifiers' activities and their contextual components or c...

Advances in remote sensing and space-based imaging have led to an increased understanding of past settlements and landscape use, but e until now e the images in tropical regions have not been detailed enough to provide datasets that permitted the computation of digital elevation models for heavily forested and hilly terrain. The application of airborne LiDAR (light detection and ranging) remote...

The efficient one-pot procedure based on a sequence of hydrosilylation and reduction reactions was applied to obtain carbosilane dendrimers with different silsesquioxane (SQ) cores, i.e. from mono-T 8 SQ, octa-T SQ di- tetrafunctional double-decker silsesquioxanes.

It is unknown whether a novel small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) containing alpha-linolenic (ALA) and linoleic acids impacts maternal plasma lipids and fatty acid status. We measured plasma fatty acids (wt%) and lipid concentrations at 36 wk gestation and breast milk fatty acids (wt%) at 6 months postpartum in a subsample of women enrolled in a randomized controlled trial s...

The kappa SQ software package is designed to assist researchers working on randomized row sampling. The package contains a collection of Matlab functions along with a GUI that ties them all together and provides a platform for the user to perform experiments. In particular, kappa SQ is designed to do experiments related to the two-norm condition number of a sampled matrix, κ(SQ), where S is a r...

BACKGROUND To develop a sensitive and specific screening tool for knee and hip osteoarthritis in the general population of elderly people. METHODS The Knee and Hip OsteoArthritis Screening Questionnaire (KHOA-SQ) was developed based on previous studies and observed data and sent to 11,002 people aged 60 to 90 years, stratified by age and gender, who were selected by random sampling. Algorithm...
