Nutrient intake in schoolchildren: some practical considerations

The role of breakfast in nutrient intake of urban schoolchildren.

OBJECTIVES To ascertain the breakfast habits of 10-15-year-old schoolchildren and to assess the quality of this meal as well as its relationship to the food consumption pattern for the full day. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. SUBJECTS AND SETTING Eight hundred and two schoolchildren, boys and girls, aged 10-15 years, belonging to different urban schools located in Secunderabad, Andhra Prade...

Influence of some social and environmental factors on the nutrient intake and nutritional status of schoolchildren.

Only children had significantly higher intakes of many nutrients and nutrients/1000 kcal than other children. A higher proportion of only children was found to be obese. There were no significant differences according to birthrank in intakes by children. There were more obese children among the fatherless than those with fathers, in particular among those whose mothers were widowed. However, th...

Lecture : Some Practical Considerations ( 4 of 4 )

Today, we will continue talking about the connection between non-linear dimensionality reduction methods and diffusions and random walks. We will also describe several methods for constructing graphs that are “semi-supervised,” in the sense that that there are labels associated with some of the data points, and we will use these labels in the process of constructing the graph. These will give r...

The Shrinking Generator: Some Practical Considerations

The Shrinking Generator, presented at Crypto'93, is a LFSR-based pseudorandom generator suitable for the implementation of additive stream ciphers. It is particularly simple and has attractive security properties. (The reader is referred to [1] for the definition of the generator and its properties). Although the algorithm was originally intended for hardware implementation, here we will focus ...
