constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.on the other hand, eos ...

Obese spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) develop nephropathy with severe proteinuria, but lean littermates do not develop renal disease. Intrarenal angiotensin has been suggested to contribute to nephropathy in other experimental models. We examined the regulation of angiotensin receptors as a reflection of target tissue response to possible changes in the renin-angiotensin system. We visual...

Bone mineral density (BMD) is affected by lean body mass and body weight to various degrees in the course of aging. The attempt of this study is to determine the optimal time to begin prevention of osteoporosis. In this study, female hospital employees aged 20-59 years were divided into 2 age groups, 20-39 years and 40-59 years based on age at peak BMD, and the relations of total BMD, subtotal ...

Software process improvement methods help to continuously refine and adjust the software process to improve its performance (e.g., in terms of leadtime, quality of the software product, reduction of change requests, and so forth). Lean software development propagates two important principles that help process improvement, namely identification of waste in the process and considering interaction...

abstract   background: postural instability has been identified as a potential precursor of falls in elderly subjects. postural stability in quiet stance is commonly assessed with center of pressure (cop) measures. the purpose of this study was to determine testretest reliability and minimal detectable change (mdc) for the center of pressure (cop) measures in the elderly subjects.   methods: ei...

Brook, C. G. D. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 182. Determination of body composition of children from skinfold measurements. Total body water was measured in 23 children aged 1 to 11 years and correlated with estimates of lean body mass derived from measurements of skinfold thickness. The correlation coefficient was 0 * 98. Skinfold thickness can, therefore, be used to estimate ...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the benefits generated from the application of lean tools in banking services. We will highlight on challenges, advantages, and principal success factors for lean implementation. As financial markets are experiencing changes so it’s mandatory to create a streamlined bank to meet the new expectations in a timely manner while continuing to lower operational...

The insulin-degrading activity of liver supernatants and epididymal adipose-tissue homogenates from genetically obese-hyperglycaemic mice (ob ob) and their lean litter mates was studied by measurement of radioactive trichloroacetic acid-soluble degradation products of the insulin molecule. Optimum assay conditions for the decomposition of the hormone were devised. The properties of the degradin...

conclusions these findings suggest that lean mass was the most important predictor of bmd in both genders. physical activity appears to positively impact on lean mass and needs to be considered in physical education and health-enhancing programs in iranian school children. background body weight is made up of lean and fat mass and both are involved in growth and development. impression of these...

Lean methodologies are increasingly deployed by healthcare providers to improve billing and collection process in revenue cycle management. Measurement on key performance metrics generates large amount of data. Traditional tabular and spreadsheet form analytics are not efficient to support enterprise scale lean improvement sustainability. This paper introduces a new breed of visual dashboard te...
