The purpose of this study was to develop a new two-regression model relating Actigraph activity counts to energy expenditure over a wide range of physical activities. Forty-eight participants [age 35 yr (11.4)] performed various activities chosen to represent sedentary, light, moderate, and vigorous intensities. Eighteen activities were split into three routines with each routine being performe...

The standard 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the basic clinical method of heart disease diagnosis. Measuring all 12 leads is often cumbersome and impractical especially on a long term monitoring. In 1988, Gordon Dower has introduced an EASI-lead ECG System, where only 5 electrodes are used. In order to gain all 12-lead ECG back from this EASI system, Dower’s equation was proposed then. Ever ...

We propose a new method to use a constrained local polynomial regression to estimate the unknown parameters in ordinary differential equation models with a goal of improving the smoothing-based two-stage pseudo-least squares estimate. The equation constraints are derived from the differential equation model and are incorporated into the local polynomial regression in order to estimate the unkno...

crop yields are dependent on a number of factors such as soil type, weather conditions and farming practices. crop yield estimates in different soil types are required to meet the needs of farmers, land appraisers, and governmental agencies in iran as around the world. this study was conducted to model the wheat-grain yields [triticum aestivum l.]  by soil properties in khoy area, the north-wes...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural pattern of the effect of corporate governance mechanisms (internal organization) on audit quality considering the role of the intermediary variable of behavioural components of auditors. The statistical population of this research is independent auditors and auditors working in audit firms. A sample of 395 people was selected by simple...
