The research related to childhood obesity generally emphasizes the impact of unhealthy eating and sedentary behavior as the main determinants of the predisposition to the positive energy balance that underlies excess body fat accumulation. Recent investigations have, however, demonstrated that "noncaloric" activity-related factors can induce a significant imbalance between spontaneous energy in...

Eleven channels of EEG were recorded from a subject performing four mental tasks. A time-embedded representation of the untransformed EEG samples was constructed. Classification of the time-embedded samples was performed by linear and quadratic discriminant analysis and by an artificial neural network. A classifier's output for consecutive samples is combined to increase reliability. A new perf...

background: there is a significant proportion of workers with mental disorders who either are struggling at work or who are trying to return to work from a disability leave. objective: using a population-based survey of working adults in ontario, canada, this paper examines the perceptions of workers towards mental disorders in the workplace. methods: data are from a sample of 2219 working adul...

Ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OTC) deficiency is a urea cycle disorder that causes the accumulation of ammonia, which can lead to encephalopathy. Adults presenting with hyperammonemia who are subsequently diagnosed with urea cycle disorders are rare. Herein, we report a case of a late-onset OTC deficient patient who was successfully treated with arginine, benzoate and hemodialysis. A 59-yr-ol...

The mental health problems of employees have become a major occupational health issue in Japan. External employee assistance program providers (EAP) have become important in mental health care for workers, but their activities are poorly documented. This descriptive study was undertaken to clarify the status and future tasks of EAP in Japan. The subjects were all EAP (n=27) registered in the Ja...

A metric space is said to be locally non-compact if every neighborhood contains a sequence that is bounded away from every element of the space, hence contains no accumulation point. We show within recursive mathematics that a nonvoid complete metric space is locally non-compact iff it is without isolated points. The result has an interesting consequence in computable analysis: If a complete me...

Inspired by a dynamic approach to recognition memory (Cox & Shiffrin, 2012), we present results from a recognition memory experiment in which the time at which diagnostic information arrives is unconsciously varied. Contrary to the predictions of most models, performance improves when diagnostic information is available later, rather than earlier. These results are accounted for by a dynamic mo...

•O = {1, . . . , n} is the set of data object to cluster. •K is the number of desired classes. • E = {cli}i=1 is the esemble of N clusterings of O. The ensemble is obtained by running different algorithms with different. parametrizations on (possibly) sub-sampled versions of the original dataset. • each clustering is a function cli : Oi → {1, . . . , Ki} from the set of objects Oi ⊆ O to a clas...
