STUDY OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between sleep and dietary intake in adolescents using an experimental sleep restriction protocol. DESIGN Randomized crossover sleep restriction-extension paradigm. SETTING Sleep obtained and monitored at home, diet measured during an office visit. PARTICIPANTS Forty-one typically developing adolescents age 14-16 years. INTERVENTIONS The 3-week...

Carnosine is a naturally occurring intramuscular dipeptide that is thought to attenuate fatigue during high-intensity exercise. Carnosine content is influenced by various factors, including gender and diet. Despite research reporting that carnosine content is lower in women compared to men and lower in vegetarians compared to omnivores, no investigations have examined carnosine content in women...

BACKGROUND Children use all of their senses when exploring new foods, and sensory-based food education provides new possibilities for promoting healthy dietary habits. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of sensory-based food education activities on children's willingness to eat test samples of selected vegetables and berries. DESIGN Two kindergartens in Hanko, Finland, participated in the stu...

Multi-path is favorite alternative for sensor networks, as it provides an easy mechanism to distributetraffic, as well as considerate fault tolerance. In this paper, a new clustering based multi path routingprotocol namely ECRR (Energy efficient Cluster based Routing algorithm for improving Reliability) isproposed, which is a new routing algorithm and guarantees the achievement to required QoS ...

This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: The primary objective is to determine the effectiveness of dietary advice to follow a Mediterranean style diet or the provision of foods relevant to the Mediterranean diet for the primary prevention of CVD.

A study was designed to compare nutritional and metabolic parameters on subjects with a spectrum of vegetarian and nonvegetarian dietary patterns. The method of selection of the study population, the description of its characteristics, and the data collection protocol are described. Anthropometric measurements of vegetarians and nonvegetarians are reported and compared with previously reported ...

An essential requirement for providing secure services in wireless sensor networks is the ability to establish pairwise keys among sensors. Due to resource constraints on the sensors, the key establishment scheme should not create significant overhead. To date, several key establishment schemes have been proposed. Some of these have appropriate connectivity and resistance against key exposure, ...
