Loveringite-davidite members of the crichtonite group were synthesized at high pressure and temperature (7.5 kbar, 1000-1050 ~ from a melt of TiO2 and rare earth element (REE) enriched basaltic andesite composition. Four sets of partition coefficients for La, Sin, Ho, Lu and Sr (analogue for Eu 2+) were obtained. These show that light and heavy REE are readily accommodated, but the intermediate...

BACKGROUND During feeding trials, it is useful to predict daily energy expenditure (DEE) to estimate energy requirements and to assess subject compliance. OBJECTIVE We examined predictors of DEE during a feeding trial conducted in a clinical research center. DESIGN During a 28-d period, all food consumed by 26 healthy, nonobese, young adults was provided by the investigators. Energy intake ...

BACKGROUND Basal energy requirements are higher in adolescents with sickle cell anemia (SCA) than in healthy control subjects. However, no equation is available to accurately predict their energy needs. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to develop a clinically useful equation to estimate resting energy expenditure (REE) in adolescents with SCA. DESIGN REE and other components of total energy expe...

BACKGROUND Resting energy expenditure (REE) measurements are optimal for accurate assessment of energy requirements and precise provision of parenteral nutrients. We previously observed significant reduction in REE during a 4-week period in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The goal of this study was to determine if weekly REE measurements could accurately repr...

We have previously shown that resting energy expenditure (REE) adjusted by fat-free mass (FFM) in male college athletes remains consistent regardless of FFM. The FFM comprises internal organs with high metabolic activity, such as liver and brain, which account for 60 to 80% of REE in adults. The purpose of the present study is to examine the contribution of internal organs to the REE of the FFM...

Objective To investigate the applicability of predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) in obese individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the effects of OSA severity on REE. Materials and methods Twenty-nine obese men, 41.5 ± 7 years old, with moderate and severe OSA were recruited. All subjects were submitted to a clinical polysomnography, body composition, and indi...

Background and Purpose—Little is known of the acute, subacute, and longer-term energy demands of stroke, information essential to appropriate clinical and nutritional management. The goals of this study were to (1) determine the resting energy expenditure (REE) of stroke patients from stroke onset to 3 months, (2) examine relations between stroke size, type, location, severity, and REE, and (3)...

Philosophers of science increasingly recognize the importance of idealization: the intentional introduction of distortion into scientific theories. Yet this recognition has not yielded consensus about the nature of idealization. e literature of the past thirty years contains disparate characterizations and justifications, but little evidence of convergence towards a common position. Despite th...

Eylee Jung and DaeKil Park1,2∗ Department of Electronic Engineering, Kyungnam University, Changwon 631-701, Korea Department of Physics, Kyungnam University, Changwon 631-701, Korea Abstract It is well-known that entanglement of formation (EOF) and relative entropy of entanglement (REE) are exactly identical for all two-qubit pure states even though their definitions are completely different. W...

Background: Basal energy requirements are higher in adolescents with sickle cell anemia (SCA) than in healthy control subjects. However, no equation is available to accurately predict their energy needs. Objective: Our objective was to develop a clinically useful equation to estimate resting energy expenditure (REE) in adolescents with SCA. Design: REE and other components of total energy expen...
