BACKGROUND To date, only short-duration metabolic rate measurements of less than four hours have been used to evaluate prediction equations for calculating energy requirements in healthy infants. Therefore, the objective of this analysis was to utilize direct 24-hour metabolic rate measurements from a prior study to evaluate the accuracy of several currently used prediction equations for calcul...

Abstract: Data-flow analysis of arrays is an important analysis used in optimizing and parallelizing compilers. Last write tree(LWT) is a typical algorithm of array data-flow analysis. But the method of computing the root domain of LWT is not given precisely, sometimes it is even restricted. This paper presents a new computing model and a new algorithm of LWT to solve this problem. In this mode...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to examine the sinus lateral wall thickness (LWT) of atrophic posterior maxilla (<10 mm) of patients with complete and partial edentulism and determine the influence of residual ridge height (RH), sex, and age on maxillary LWT. METHODS Four hundred fourteen measures were taken from 140 consecutive patients that met the inclusion criteria. On the sele...

LWT-MAC is a new Low Power Listening MAC protocol for WSNs designed to rapidly react to instantaneous increases of the network load. It takes advantage of overhearing by waking up all nodes at the end of a transmission to send or receive packets without needing to transmit the long preamble before. In this work, detailed analytical models of the LWT-MAC and B-MAC protocols, for both saturated a...

In this paper we proposed a technique to remove eye blink artifact from electroencephalogram (EEG) using lifting wavelet transform (LWT). The LWT has been successfully used in eye blink artifact suppression form the recorded electroencephalography (EEG) signals using a data-adaptive subband filtering approach. The LWT is applied to decompose EEG signal into a finite set of subbands. The energy ...

Background and aim Given the importance of evaluating the maxillary sinus lateral wall thickness (LWT) to avoid complications during surgery, the aim of this study was to examine LWT as well as the effect of residual ridge height (RH), edentulous region, type of edentulism, age and gender on it. Methods In this cross-sectional study conducted in 2016, 150 samples of the CBCT imaging archives ...

Pharmacological and behavioral interventions have focused on reducing tic severity to alleviate tic-related impairment for youth with chronic tic disorders (CTDs), with no existing intervention focused on the adverse psychosocial consequences of tics. This study examined the preliminary efficacy of a modularized cognitive behavioral intervention ("Living with Tics", LWT) in reducing tic-related...

11 Data analysis tools have become essential to the study of biology. Tools available today were constructed with layers of technology developed over decades. Here, we explain how some of the principles used to develop this technology are sub-optimal for the construction of data analysis tools for biologists. In contrast, we applied language workbench technology (LWT) to create a data analysis ...

We used 179,485 Yorkshire reproductive and 239,354 Yorkshire growth records to estimate additive and dominance variances by Method Fraktur R. Estimates were obtained for number born alive (NBA), 21-d litter weight (LWT), days to 104.5 kg (DAYS), and backfat at 104.5 kg (BF). The single-trait models for NBA and LWT included the fixed effects of contemporary group and regression on inbreeding per...
