BACKGROUND Mobility is a main issue for health-related quality of life in old age. There is evidence for effects of physical activity (PA) interventions on several dimensions of health for the aged and also, some specific evidence for vulnerable populations, like residents of residential aged care. Research on low-threshold PA interventions for users of residential aged care and documentation o...

We present results on the light hadron spectrum and quark mass in two-flavor QCD calculated with small sea quark masses down to mP S /mV = 0.35. The configurations are generated using the RG improved gauge and tadpole-improved clover quark action at β = 1.8, where a −1 ≃ 1 GeV. Chiral extrapolations are made using not only polynomials and ChPT in the continuum but also formulae of Wilson chiral...

objective: mothers with a history of infertility may experience parenting difficulties and challenges. this study was conducted to investigate the role of residential early parenting services in increasing parenting confidence in mothers with a history of infertility. materials and methods: this was a retrospective chart review study using the quantitative data from the clients attending the ka...

INTRODUCTION This study examined the effects of a time-limited residential unit for young adults with epilepsy and mild cognitive impairment in a German epilepsy centre. Residents spend approximately 3 years in this unit to gain more independence and better seizure control. METHODS Fifty-two individuals were interviewed about 4 weeks after admission (T1) and again at discharge (T2) using the ...

CONTEXT Residential exposures are recognized risk factors for asthma, but the relative contribution of specific indoor allergens and their overall contribution to asthma among older children and adolescents in the United States are unknown. OBJECTIVE To estimate the relative contributions, population-attributable risks, and costs of residential risk factors for doctor-diagnosed asthma. Design...

The Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) specification defines a service-oriented framework for use in residential gateways. In this context, the OSGi framework acts as a gateway from the Internet to consumer devices attached to the residence's home-area network. Service providers use the gateway to deliver products and services to end-users, such as home security or health care monitoring. ...

This paper aims to understand residential mobility in non-market economies by conducting a case study of Chinese cities, a socialist society in transition. It is argued that residential mobility in China is mainly triggered by changes in housing supply and housing qualification, both of which are determined by housing policies. Using a retrospective survey (1949–94) in 20 Chinese cities, it was...

background: about 80% of deaths in 350 million cases of diabetes in the world occur in low and middle income countries. the aim of this study was to determine the status of diabetes socioeconomic inequality and the share of determinants of inequalities in kurdistan province, west of iran, using two surveys in 2005 and 2009.   methods: data were collected from non-communicable disease surveillan...

We study boundary renormalization group flows of N = 2 minimal models using Landau-Ginzburg description of B-type. A simple algebraic relation of matrices is relevant. We determine the pattern of the flows and identify the operators that generate them. As an application, we show that the charge lattice of B-branes in the level k minimal model is Zk+2. We also reproduce the fact that the charge ...
