OBJECTIVES It is unclear whether sedentary behaviour, and the domain in which it occurs, is related to body mass index (BMI) change. We aim to elucidate whether sedentary behaviour is prospectively related to BMI change using markers from three domains (leisure, work and commuting). METHODS Among employed 1958 British birth cohort members (n = 6,562), we analysed whether TV-viewing, work sitt...

This paper investigates the relation between immunity and hardness in exponential time. The idea that these concepts are related originated in computability theory where it led to Post’s program, and it has been continued successfully in complexity theory [9, 13, 20]. We study three notions of immunity for exponential time. An infinite set A is called • EXP-immune, if it does not contain an inf...

1. Proof Proposition 1. Ψ y ν (x) is a surrogate function of ψ ν (x). Proof. A function g y (x) is said to a surrogate function of f (x) provided ⇢ f (x) ≤ g y (x), ∀x, y ∈ [0, ∞) f (y)=g y (y), ∀y ∈ [0, ∞). (1) Let us consider the following function: f ν (x)=(1− exp(−νx))/ν. (2) Since f 00 ν (x) < 0, this function is strictly concave, ∀x, y, f ν (x) ≤ f ν (y)+(x − y)f 0 ν (y), (3) with equalit...

Background: Metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (BMI) lower than +1SD with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. This study wants to determineprevalence of MONW, metabolically benign normal weight (MBNW), metabolically abnormality obese (MAO) and comparethe components of metabolic ...

BACKGROUND Previous analysis in a prospective, population-based cohort reported reduced weight gain in children fed extensively hydrolyzed casein (eHF-C) formula during the first year of life but showed no effect on growth between 1 and 6 y of life. No studies have been conducted in children up to the age of 10 y. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate potential differences in body mass i...

BACKGROUND Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a head and neck cancer type. In this study, we introduced a novel inflammation- and nutrition-based prognostic system, referred to as COR-BMI (Combination of red blood cell distribution width and body mass index), for LSCC patients. METHODS A total of 807 LSCC patients (784 male and 23 female, 22-87 y of age) who underwent surgery were en...

We consider the analogue of Lévy area, de…ned as an iterated stochastic integral, obtained by replacing the two independent component onedimensional Brownian motions by the mutually non-commuting momentum and position Brownian motions P and Q of either Fock or non-Fock quantum stochastic calculus, which are also stochastically independent in a certain sense. We show that the resulting quantum L...
