OBJECTIVE We compared the multi-sample and two-sample methods for measuring total energy expenditure (TEE) using doubly labelled water (DLW) in pre-school children to establish whether taking multiple samples provides any advantage in free-living conditions. METHODS Sixty-five children (32 boys; aged 2-6 years) were recruited from Aberdeen, UK. TEE was measured over 7 and 14 days using the mu...

‎We prove the existence of PPF dependent coincidence points for a pair of single-valued and multi-valued mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions in Banach spaces‎. ‎Furthermore, the PPF dependent fixed point and PPF dependent common fixed point theorems for multi-valued mappings are proved.

in this paper, we prove the existence of fi xed point for j-type multi-valuedmap t in cat(0) spaces and also we prove the strong convergence theoremsfor ishikawa iteration scheme without using the xed point of involving map.
