MetaCheck Accuracy Validation Report
نویسنده
چکیده
The MetaCheck (Korr Medical Technologies, Salt Lake City, Utah) is an instrument designed to measure Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) using indirect calorimetry. Indirect calorimetry is a method of calculating metabolic rate from the measured the amount of oxygen consumed by the body. Using the MetaCheck mouthpiece, the individual being tested breathes in room air and the gas the person breathes out, is conveyed to the MetaCheck through the breathing hose. The MetaCheck analyzes the volumetric flow and oxygen concentration of the expired gas to determine the amount of oxygen consumed by the body due to metabolism.

Domain Combination based Protein-Protein Interaction Prediction (DCPPIP) method is revealed to show outstanding prediction accuracy in Yeast proteins. However, it is not yet apparent whether the method is still valid and can achieve comparable prediction accuracy for the proteins in other species. In this paper, we report the validation results of applying the DCPPIP method for Fly and Human pr...

OBJECTIVE To compare two approaches to analysing energy- and nutrient-converted data from dietary validation (and relative validation) studies - conventional analyses, in which the accuracy of reported items is not ascertained, and reporting-error-sensitive analyses, in which reported items are classified as matches (items actually eaten) or intrusions (items not actually eaten), and reported a...
متن کاملVerification and Validation of Common Derivative Terms Approximation in Meshfree Numerical Scheme
In order to improve the approximation of spatial derivatives without meshes, a set of meshfree numerical schemes for derivative terms is developed, which is compatible with the coordinates of Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical. Based on the comparisons between numerical and theoretical solutions, errors and convergences are assessed by a posteriori method, which shows that the approximations...
