Using the recommended daily allowance (RDA) to assess dietary adequacy implies making a direct comparison between RDA and some measure of dietary intake. The value and usefulness of doing so must clearly depend on the limitations of each. By definition the RDA are intended to cover ‘the average amount of the nutrient, which should be provided per head in a group of people if the needs of practi...

The adult RDA is defined as the average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all healthy people. The RDA for protein for adults ≥18 y of age (0.8 g/kg) has been essentially unchanged for >70 y. In practice, the RDA for protein was derived to estimate the minimum amount of protein that must be eaten to avoid a loss of body nitrogen. The Acceptable Macronut...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely involved in military reconnaissance and detection of moving targets. SAR active decoy can generate deceptive jamming signal it severely affect the content focused image. range Doppler algorithm (RDA) is considered as one most common algorithms utilized image formation processor (IFP) sensors. In this paper, inverse RDA (IRDA) deception technique it...

In this paper we propose an effective and efficient new Fuzzy Healthy Association Rule Mining Algorithm (FHARM) that produces more interesting and quality rules by introducing new quality measures. In this approach, edible attributes are filtered from transactional input data by projections and are then converted to Required Daily Allowance (RDA) numeric values. The averaged RDA database is the...

OBJECTIVES To compare the dietary intakes of Dutch nutrition and dietetics students with the Dutch RDA and the Dutch National Food Consumption Survey (DNFCS), and to assess whether dietary intake changes during education. DESIGN Cross-sectional and longitudinal research (2004-2010). SETTING Data collection by 7 d dietary record and questionnaire. SUBJECTS Dutch nutrition and dietetics stu...

A new formalism of Resource Driven Automata Nets (RDA-nets) is presented. A RDA-net has two levels: a system level is represented by a net of active resources, describing distribution of agents/resources and their interactions; agents in an object level are finite automata, communicating via ports and shared resources of a system level. RDA-nets are assigned for modeling mobility in multi-agent...

Destructive communication is a problem within the NHS; however previous research has focused on bullying. Rude, dismissive and aggressive (RDA) communication between doctors is a more widespread problem and underinvestigated. We conducted a mixed method study combining a survey and focus groups to describe the extent of RDA communication between doctors, its context and subsequent impact. In to...

Forty patients with "rate dependent aberrancy" (RDA) were studied. This large group of patients permitted a clear definition of the syndromne and recognition of a number of features not previously described. These proved to have a significant bearing on the recognition and differential diagnosis of RDA and non-rate dependent aberrancy. It was found that a small change in cycle length, perhaps t...

We consider regularized stochastic learning and online optimization problems, where the objective function is the sum of two convex terms: one is the loss function of the learning task, and the other is a simple regularization term such as l1-norm for promoting sparsity. We develop a new online algorithm, the regularized dual averaging (RDA) method, that can explicitly exploit the regularizatio...
