Cue-Based Feeding to Support Oral Feeding Success for Preterm Infants in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Cue-based feeding in the NICU: using the infant's communication as a guide.

Although studies have shown cue-based feeding can lead to earlier achievement of full oral feeding, the successful implementation of cue-based feeding has been constrained by the volume-driven culture, which has existed for many years in the NIC U. This culture was built on the notion that a "better" nurse is one who could "get more in," and infants who are "poor feeders" are ones who "can't ta...

Examining the Evidence for Cue feeding of Breastfed Infants

This has not been the general consensus throughout the twentieth century, however. Even in the late nineteenth century, there were those, mostly male physicians, who began to believe that infant feeding should be regulated by the clock. As artificial baby milk became all the rage in the twentieth century, both formulations of this milk and schedules to feed babies came into popularity. These sc...

Learned food-cue stimulates persistent feeding in sated rats.

Cues that predict food can stimulate appetite and feeding independent of physiological hunger. How long such effects might last is currently unknown. Here we began to characterize long-term effects in a rodent model of cue-potentiated feeding. Rats were conditioned to associate a tone with food pellets distinct from their regular laboratory chow, and then were tested along with controls for foo...

Multi-cue based tracking

Visual tracking is a central topic in computer vision. However, the accurate localization of target object in extreme conditions (such as occlusion, scaling, illumination change, and shape transformation) still remains a challenge. In this paper, we explore utilizing multi-cue information to ensure a robust tracking. Optical flow, color and depth clues are simultaneously incorporated in our fra...
