Diffusion coefficients of drug compounds are crucial parameters used for modeling transport processes. Interestingly, diffusion of a solute can be generated not only by its own concentration gradient but also by concentration gradients of other solutes. This phenomenon is known as multicomponent diffusion. A multicomponent diffusion study on drug-surfactant-water ternary mixtures is reported he...

BACKGROUND Being overweight is a global epidemic that occurs in more than 10% of school-aged children (age 5-17) worldwide. The rate of adolescents being overweight continues to rise despite numerous public health campaigns and programs to increase awareness and modify unhealthy lifestyle patterns. AIMS The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the most efficacious intervention f...

α-Isocyanoacetamides, acyl chlorides and dialkylacetylenedicarboxylates undergo a smooth multicomponent reaction to produce dialkyl 2-acyl-5-aminofuran-3,4-dicarboxylates in good yield. The scope and mechanism of this new multicomponent transformation are discussed.

Multicomponent structures were constructed by DNA-directed self-assembling of multiple carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles. The work presented here represents an important advance in constructing many multicomponent nanotube structures for multifunctional material and device applications.

BACKGROUND The ability of older people to function independently is crucial as physical disability and functional limitation have profound impacts on health. Interventions that either delay the onset of frailty or attenuate its severity potentially have cascading benefits for older people, their families and society. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a multiComponent ...

BACKGROUND Childhood obesity is a major public health problem in the United States, particularly among American Indian communities. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based, multicomponent intervention for reducing percentage body fat in American Indian schoolchildren. DESIGN This study was a randomized, controlled, school-based trial involving 1704 childr...

Cardiometabolic comorbidities are highly prevalent in clinical populations, and have been associated (partly) with their sedentary lifestyle. Although lifestyle interventions targeting behaviour (SB) studied extensively the general population, effect of such strategies populations is not yet clear. Therefore, this systematic review meta-analysis evaluated different on SB cardiometabolic health ...

We consider plane laminar ames with multicomponent transport and complex chemistry. The governing equations are derived from the kinetic theory of gases by using the classical isobaric approximation. An arbitrary number of reversible chemical reactions and temperature dependent species speciic heats are considered in the model. The most general form for multicomponent transport uxes given by th...

In longitudinal medical studies, multicomponent images of the tissues, acquired at a given stage of a disease, are used to provide information on the fate of the tissues. We propose a quantification of the predictive value of multicomponent images using information theory. To this end, we revisit the predictive information introduced for monodimensional time series and extend it to multicompone...

LFM signals are widely used in the fields of radar and communication etc., which make signals detection and parameters estimation a very important technology in multicomponent LFM signals. To solve the problems of error detection caused by the cross-terms in WVD-Hough methods and other modified WVD distribution methods, and low parameter estimation precision due to poor timefrequency concentrat...
