simultaneous localization and mapping (UFastSLAM) using the geometric information of particles. The information are the pose of particles and their geometric relation, which are utilized in both the importance weight and the resampling steps. In the importance weight step, all particles are grouped via their weights and updated more accurately using the weight compensation scheme. In addition, ...

The authors examined the association between weight patterns during middle age and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus using a subset (n 1⁄4 1,476) of the Framingham Heart Study original cohort limited-access data set (1948– 2003). Participants diagnosed with diabetes before age 50 years were excluded. A functional principal components analysis of bodymass index from age 40 years to age 50 years ...

Introduction The importance of providing patients with sufficient energy and protein to achieve the desired nutrition and clinical outcome is always paramount. Whether the nutrition goal is promoting weight gain or minimizing weight loss, the importance of providing adequate calories has been emphasized. Underfeeding can have deleterious effects. Overfeeding can also be detrimental. Patients wh...

There has been limited previous research that has examined the role of sociocultural influences on body change strategies among adult men. The current study investigated the role of specific types of messages (encouragement, teasing and modelling) from peers and the media on the strategies to change weight among adult men. Differences were evaluated between 526 men aged from 18 to 60 years from...

garra rufa , a bottom dwelling freshwater fish and native to the middle east, is distributed in the southwestern of iran and the tigris basin. considering the importance of length-weight relationships data of a species in different habitats, the length-weight relationship of g. rufa from 13 rivers in the persian gulf and the tigris basins was explored. the value of exponent b ranged from 2.74 t...

background: considering the importance and prevalence of obesity and the desire to lose weight, especially among women, this study intended to investigate the relationship between body mass index, body satisfaction, and weight control behavior among women employees in isfahan. methods: an analytical cross‑sectional study was conducted among 408 women who were selected by stratified random sampl...

In this study production, reproduction, population, management and economic parameters resulted from recording of 7 flocks with size 57 to 400 and 721 heads of camels in a cycle of reproduction, during three years from 2011 to 2013 were used to find out of the economic values of important traits in one hump camel in desert areas rearing system. The economic traits that appeared in profit equati...

In the field of cluster analysis, most of existing algorithms assume that each feature of the samples plays a uniform contribution for cluster analysis. Considering different features with different importance, feature-weight assignment can be regarded as a special case of feature selection. That is, the feature assigned a value in the interval [0, 1] indicating the importance of that feature, ...
