this study was conducted to determine regression equations for the prediction metabolizable energy value corrected for zero nitrogen retention (amen) in 12 wheat cultivars (mahdavi, chamran, sabalan, sepahan, sivand, alamoot, sholeh, neishaboor, pishtaz, bahar, shiraz and shahpasand) cultured in alborz province of iran. chromic oxide marker bioassay was used to determine wheat cultivars nitroge...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a dietary reference intake (DRI) predictive equation for estimated energy requirements (EER) in female college tennis athletes and non-athlete students using doubly labeled water (DLW) as a reference method. MATERIALS/METHODS Fifteen female college students, including eight tennis athletes and seven non-athlete subj...

This paper presents the ability of a new group contribution equation of state in the prediction of thermodynamic properties of alcohols, ketones and ethers. This equation of state, called MCORGC, is based on the Chain-Of-Rotators Group Contribution equation considering a NRTL type local composition mixing rule. The group parameters required to predict the thermodynamic properties of the oxygena...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The total body skeletal muscle mass plays a significant role in both health and disease states. Accurate measurement or prediction of muscle mass is useful in physiology, nutrition and clinical medicine. There are many prediction equations derived in the Western populations to estimate skeletal muscle mass, however, regression equations best fit the population they are d...

Analogous to the fraction unbound in microsomes (fu(mic)), fraction unbound in hepatocyte incubations (fu(hep)) is an important parameter in the prediction of intrinsic clearance and potential drug-drug interactions. A recent study by Austin et al. (Drug Metab Dispos 33:419-425, 2005) proposed a linear 1:1 relationship between the extent of binding to microsomes at 1 mg/ml and to hepatocytes at...

The treatment of lateral boundaries in regional models has been a perennial problem since the early days of numerical weather prediction. In a limited-area model the lateral edges are not physical boundaries of the flow but constitute artificial constraints imposed by computational considerations. Hence they do not have a physical counterpart. We must impose conditions at these artificial bound...

Electromagnetic wave properties in metamaterials including electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures have been widely investigated due to their inherent capabilities for developing novel devices in the fields of optics, microwave and antenna engineering. In reality, most of the materials are dispersive or frequency-dependent, on the other hand, it is important to investigate how the performance...

BACKGROUND The diffusing capacity of the lung is influenced by multiple factors such as age, sex, height, weight, ethnicity and smoking status. Although a prediction equation for the diffusing capacity of Korea was proposed in the mid-1980s, this equation is not used currently. The aim of this study was to develop a new prediction equation for the diffusing capacity for Koreans. METHODS Using...

The method of optimal prediction is applied to calculate the future means of solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation. It is shown that, in an appropriate probability space, the difference between the average of all solutions that satisfy certain constraints at time t = 0 and the average computed by an approximate method is small with high probability.
