BACKGROUND Accurate measurement of free-living energy expenditure is vital to understanding changes in energy metabolism with aging. The efficacy of heart rate as a surrogate for energy expenditure is rooted in the assumption of a linear function between heart rate and energy expenditure, but its validity and reliability in older adults remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To assess the validity and re...

BACKGROUND As healthcare spending continues to increase, medical insurance is now under great pressure of growing economic burden. To control the excessive growth of medical expenditure, change of medical payment system was clearly put forward in China's new healthcare reform. With this end, Tianjin, a large city in North China, is now exploring to replace traditional fee-for-service (FFS) with...

The School Expenditure Budget Plan or RAPBS is the pillar of school management for allocating revenue budget and use funds to meet all needs one year. However, there are problems that occur in RAPBS, namely difficulty grouping data annually, making it difficult predict coming This research was conducted study implement Multiple Linear Regression algorithm predicting value on income expenditure ...

Syndrome de la queue de cheval. A propos de 4 cas.  Les auteurs rapportent quatre observations cliniques concernat des malades dont les pre­miers symptomes se manifesterent par des al­gies longitemps considerees comme "sciatique·s".  L' etude neurologique de ces cas demontrait qu'en realite "les algies sciatiques" n'etaient que des signes mono ou pluri-radiculaires en rapport avec un syndrome...

This paper presents intermediate results of our investigations into the potential of analog hardware for the purpose of solving linear equation (LES) systems which are of quadratic form and binary. Based on the assumption that we can efficiently solve binary LES over the rationals with sufficient precision, we present a generic method to map a rational solution to a solution which solves the eq...

Motivated by the basic problem of studying stability of nonautonomous linear systems, different definitions of spectra have been proposed over the years. We review some of these definitions, paying particular attention to how the spectra may be computed. Since the spectra are given by intervals of the real line, one would like to compute the endpoints of these intervals. As it turns out, these ...

Traditional le systems are the most common storage medium for corpora at present Within these corpora are stored as simple linear text les with only primitive attempts made at systematic organization For example the LOB corpus Johnasson Leech and Goodluck is stored as a series of les each le re ecting a particular textual genre Hence the only apparent organization within the le structure of LOB...
