BACKGROUND To assess the prevalence of negative body image and weight loss behaviour among children in primary and secondary school. METHODS Data were collected during the routine health assessment, in 10,767 children in the 6th grade (9-10 years) of primary school and the 2nd grade (13-14 years) of secondary school in Utrecht, a province in The Netherlands. Weight loss behaviour and body ima...

BACKGROUND We sought to evaluate the hypothesis that mental health impairment in underweight women, where this occurs, is due to an association between low body weight and elevated levels of body dissatisfaction and/or eating-disordered behaviour. METHODS Subgroups of underweight and normal-weight women recruited from a large, general population sample were compared on measures of body dissat...

Abstract We discretise a tangential tensor field equation using surface-finite element approach with penalisation term to ensure almost tangentiality. It is natural measure the quality of such discretisation intrinsically, i.e., examine convergence behaviour in contrast normal behaviour. show optimal-order respect quantities particular for an isogeometric that based only on geometric informatio...

Introduction: Formalin injection induces nociceptive bahaviour in phase I and II, with a quiescent phase between them. While active inhibitory mechanisms are proposed to be responsible for initiation of interphase, the exact mechanisms which lead to termination of nociceptive response in phase II are not clear yet. Phase II is a consequence of peripheral and central sensitization processes, whi...

In this research, behaviour of clayey soils under triaxial loading is studied using Neural Network. The models have been prepared to predict the stress-strain behaviour of remolded clays under undrained condition. The advantage of the model developed is that simple parameters such as physical characteristics of soils like water content, fine content, Atterberg limits and so on, are used to mode...

in this paper, we introduce fractional order of a planar fractional prey-predator system with a nonmonotonic functional response and anti-predator behaviour such that the adult preys can attack vulnerable predators. we analyze the existence and stability of all possibleequilibria. numerical simulations reveal that anti-predator behaviour notonly makes the coexistence of the prey and predator po...
