OBJECTIVE: To assess protein intake, its distribution across main meals and the relationship between this muscle mass in older adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 47 adults attending a community center Campo Grande, MS, Brazil. A sociodemographic questionnaire was used to characterize population. Dietary intake data were collected using two 24-hour dietary recalls on nonconsecu...

In this paper, we give a new and direct proof for the recently proved conjecture raised in Soltani and Roozegar (2012). The conjecture can be proved in a few lines via the integral representation of the Gauss-hypergeometric function unlike the long proof in Roozegar and Soltani (2013).

shiffman has argued that some actors have a great deal of power in global health, and that more reflection is needed on whether such forms of power are legitimate. global health is a new and evolving field that builds upon the historical fields of public and international health, but is more multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary in nature. this article argues that the distribution of power ...

in this paper, the influence of the constituent volume fractions by changing the values of the power-law exponent with uniform pressure on the vibration frequencies of reinforced functionally graded cylindrical shells is studied. the fgm shell with ring is developed in accordance to the volume fraction law from two constituents namely stainless steel and nickel. these constituents are graded th...

Abstract Reliability and active power loss are two fundamental parameters in the design and planning of distribution systems that have always attracted the attention of power distribution systems designers and engineers. The improvement of reliability and the reduction of power loss are investigated as the primary objective functions and voltage profile as the secondary objective function. A me...

As the gap between supply and demand of electrical power is getting wider the continuous power supply is not possible for all at the same time. Existing power grid is not well suited for 21 century power flow from generation to end user. To focus on the challenges of 20 century grid like blackout, Power discontinuity, Frequency variation, etc. the new concept of smart grid emerged. It is expect...

introduction: with the rapid increase in use of lasers in medical treatments, it is important to understand the mechanisms of heat transfer in biological tissues in order to minimize damage to the tissues resulting from extra heat applied. the aim of this study is to investigate the temperature distribution in living biological tissues when laser irradiation is used in a treatment. methods:  in...
