complementary and alternative medicine (cam) is frequently used in portugal and it contributes to the improvement of people’s health. cam and western medicine (wm) are taken as complements both in the diagnosis and the treatment stage. the portuguese health system is able to generate certified cam professionals but the provision of cam care and services is not included in the national health sy...

a‎s we know, developing mathematical models and numerical procedures that would appropriately treat and solve systems of linear equations where some of the system's parameters are proposed as fuzzy numbers is very important in fuzzy set theory. for this reason, many researchers have used various numerical methods to solve fuzzy linear systems. in this paper, we define the concepts of midpoint a...

Keyword: Quantile regression, endogeneity test, Hausman test. Mots clé de la conférence: Econométrie, Modèles semi et non paramétriques Abstract: In this paper we develop a test to detect the presence of endogeneity in di¤erent quantiles in the conditional distribution of a variable of interest. This Hausman test type is based on one estimator consistent only under no endogeneity at the examine...

BACKGROUND Accelerometry has been established as an objective method that can be used to assess physical activity behavior in large groups. The purpose of the current study was to provide a validated equation to translate accelerometer counts of the triaxial GT3X into energy expenditure in young children. METHODS Thirty-two children aged 5-9 years performed locomotor and play activities that ...

This paper presents an activity recording (AR) system and a radial-basis-function-network-based (RBFNB) energy expenditure regression algorithm. The AR system includes motion sensors and an electrocardiogram sensor which is composed of a set of sensor modules (accelerometers and electrocardiogram amplifying/filtering circuits), a MCU module (microcontroller), a wireless communication module (a ...
