BACKGROUND Given the difficulties of using indirect calorimetry in many intensive care units, clinicians routinely employ predictive equations (the Harris-Benedict equation [HBE] and Schofield equation are commonly used) to estimate energy expenditure in critically ill patients. Some extrapolate CO(2) production (V CO(2)) and O(2) consumption (V O(2)) by the Weir derivation to estimate energy e...

A nonlinear multiobjective programming problem is considered. Weak, strong and strict converse duality theorems are established under generalized second order (F, α, ρ, d)-convexity for second order Mangasarian type and general Mond-Weir type vector duals.

Targeting public spending on difficult-to-observe characteristics often relies on self selection, which may be sensitive to the mechanism used for allocation. This paper directly compares two incentive compatible allocation mechanisms for tree cultivation subsidies in Malawi: a sealed bid, uniform price procurement auction and a take it or leave it price offer. At the contract price, the price ...

The Objective of this study is to estimate the form drag due to vegetated weirlike obstacles. Head loss due to submerged vegetated dikes and groins has been modeled by expansion loss form drag model (Energy and momentum balance principles) and it has been compared with experimental data. An experimental study has been carried out on a scaled physical model in the Laboratory of Environmental Flu...

The packing of submicrometer sized silica beads inside a microchannel was enabled by a novel method which avoids the complication and limitations of generating a frit using conventional approaches and the restriction of flow using a submicrometer sized weir. A micrometer sized weir and two short columns of 5 μm and 800 nm silica beads packed in succession behind the weir together functioned as ...

A moment estimator of, the coancestry coefficient for alleles within a population, was described by Weir & Cockerham in 1984 (100) and is still widely cited. The estimate is used by population geneticists to characterize population structure, by ecologists to estimate migration rates, by animal breeders to describe genetic variation, and by forensic scientists to quantify the strength of matchi...

Abstract We determine the distributions of some random variables related to a simple model an epidemic with contact tracing and cluster isolation. This enables us apply general limit theorems for super-critical Crump–Mode–Jagers branching processes. Notably, we compute explicitly asymptotic proportion isolated clusters given size amongst all clusters, conditionally on survival epidemic. Somewha...

A novel microflow cytometer is proposed in which the sample stream is focused initially in the horizontal (X–Y) plane by two sheath flows and is then focused in the vertical (Y–Z) plane by a sequential micro-weir structure before entering the detection region of the device. The proposed device is fabricated using a modified glass fabrication process, and is then characterized both numerically a...

The present paper attempts to investigate the prediction of air entrainment rate and aeration efficiency of a free overfall jets issuing from a triangular sharp crested weir by using regression based modelling. The empirical equations, Support vector machine (polynomial and radial basis function) models and the linear regression techniques were applied on the triangular sharp crested weirs rela...
