Identifying a non-invasive measure of bone status in dairy cattle
… non-invasive measures of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) as rapid, on-farm tools to assess phosphorus (P) status in dairy cows. In addition, the effects of parity and stage of lactation on measures of BMC of the fused 3rd and 4th metacarpal bone and of caudal vertebrae …

The Relationship Between Physical Activity Level and Bone Mineral Status in Adolescent Males
… between level of physical activity and BMC (bone mineral content) and BMD (bone mineral density). The secondary purpose was to determine if there was an interaction between physical activity and pubertal growth on BMC and BMD in young males. The subjects who participated in this study …

Model-Free Variable Screening, Sparse Regression Analysis and Other Applications with Optimal Transformations
… B-spline based Maximum Correlation (BMC) and Trace BMC (T-BMC) are introduced to measure dependence between two univariate random variables. As extensions to BMC and T-BMC, Multivariate BMC (MBMC) and Trace Multivariate BMC (T-MBMC) are proposed to measure dependence between …

The Relationship between Lower Extremity Bone Mass and Body Mass Index in a NHANES Adolescent Population
… body mass index (BMI) on bone mineral content (BMC) among adolescents has been researched yielding mixed results. This study explored the relationship of left lower extremity (LLE) BMC on BMI across the spectrum of weight in a large nationally representative group of adolescents. This …

Dynamics of Endogenous Cardiac Repair and Methods for Enhanced Post-Injury Cell Therapy
… as a primary impediment in bone marrow cell (BMC) infusion clinical trials, Chapter 4 recapitulates these trials in an intact-organ murine model--the isolated perfused heart. Flow cytometry enables objective, sensitive identification of strongly-retained BMC phenotypes. Results show that …

THE ROLE OF SDF-1[alpha] AS A VASCULOGENIC CHEMOKINE AND ENDOTHELIUM-ASSOCIATED CELL ADHESION MOLECULE FOR THE RECRUITMENT OF BONE MARROW-DERIVED PROGENITOR CELLS TO DEVELOPING TUMORS
… dissociated LLCaB tumors (DTC). Lineage-negative BMC enriched for Sca1+cKit+ (LSK) cells, including endothelial progenitors and CXCR4+ cells, were used for subsequent adhesion studies. LSK cells preferentially adhered in vitro to DTC, compared to other target cell types. Pre-incubation with …

Bone health in Gambian women: impact and implications of rural-to-urban migration and the nutrition transition
… ≥16 years. Bone phenotype (bone mineral content (BMC); bone area (BA); aBMD, and size-adjusted BMC (adjusted for height, weight and BA) of the whole-body, lumbar spine and hip) was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), with further characterisation by peripheral quantitative computed …

Benthic macroinvertebrate community structure responses to multiple stressors in mining-influenced streams of central Appalachia USA
… affect benthic macroinvertebrate community (BMC) structure and perhaps related functions of headwater streams. Objectives were: 1) use quantitative sampling and enumeration to determine how density, richness, and composition of BMCs in non-acidic central Appalachian headwaters respond to …

The Relationship Between Lean Body Mass, Resting Metabolic Rate, and Peak Oxygen Consumption in Spinal Cord-Injured and Able-Bodied Individuals
… in lean body mass (LBM), bone mineral content (BMC), mineral free lean tissue mass (MFL), resting metabolic rate (RMR), and peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2) and to examine the appropriateness of AB equations for the prediction of RMR in paraplegic and quadriplegic individuals. The study …

Characterization of tensile and hardness properties and microstructure of 3D printed bronze metal clay
… powders. A recent product, Bronze Metal Clay (BMC) has arrived. Additionally, commercial metal 3D printers require laser or electron beam sources, which are expensive and not easily accessible. The objective of this research is to develop a new two-step processing technique to produce 3D …

Satellite and lagrangian observations of mesoscale surface processes in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean
… the Brazil-Malvinas (Falkland) Confluence (BMC) Zone and the South Brazilian Continental Shelf (SBCS) are studied by means of a 14 year long series of low resolution Multi-Channel Sea Surface Temperature (MCSST) images of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) together with …

Contributions of physical activity, body composition, age, and nutritional factors to total and regional bone mass in premenopausal aerobic dancers and walkers
… femoral, and radial bone mineral content (BMC) and BMD of subjects. Subjects included 93 eumenorrheic walkers (n = 28), dancers (n = 34), and non-exercisers (n = 31) aged 25 to 41 years. Total body, lumbar spine, and proximal femur (via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) measurements for all …

Skeletal Status and Bone Turnover in Overweight Young Men with and without Sleep Apnea Syndrome
… SAS on bone mineral density (BMD) and content (BMC), bone turnover, and on the regulatory hormones leptin and IGF-1 known to potentially influence bone accretion during adolescence. METHODS: Men aged 18-28 years were assigned to groups as follows: normal weight controls (CON: AHI <3, n=8); …

SMT-based bounded model checking of multi-threaded software in embedded systems
… embedded software using bounded model checking (BMC) based on Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) techniques. We present three major novel contributions. First, we extend the encodings from previous SMT-based bounded model checkers to provide more accurate support for variables of finite bit …

Physical Activity, Estrogen Replacement Therapy and Bone Mineral Density in Early Postmenopausal Women
… of physical activity on bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) was investigated in 60 healthy, Caucasian, early postmenopausal women. All women examined were a minimum of two but no more than five years past natural menstrual cessation. Subjects in the high physical activity …

Correlations between Body Composition Components and Bone Mineral Content in Untrained Young Men and Women
… (p=0.00) while fat mass did not correlate to BMC (r=0.263; p=0.00). Though the correlations for lean and fat mass in the separate male and female groups were not strong correlations, lean mass showed a stronger correlation to BMC than fat (r=0.647, p=0.00 and r=0.667, p=0.00 respectively, for …

The effect of continuous infusion of human parathyroid hormone on bone architecture in female mice
… mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC), trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture, and serum calcium levels were measured. There were no significant differences in BMD or BMC in either study in mice infused with either dosage, nor were there significant differences in femoral …

Major Collateral Vessels Develop from Pre-existing Small Arteries through RAC2/NOX2 Independent Mechanisms
… Previous studies suggest bone marrow cell (BMC)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the Nox2 subunit of NAD(P)H oxidase plays an important role in neovascularization and recovery of hindlimb perfusion subsequent to femoral arterial occlusion; but did not investigate collateral …

Bone Mineral Density and Biomarkers of Bone Turnover in Young-Adult Females with and without Cognitive Eating Restraint
… and measurements of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) were examined cross-sectionally in women with high (n = 31) and low (n = 34) CER scores. High CER participants possessed more fat mass (FM) (p < 0.05) and percent body fat (BF%) (p = 0.01) and consumed a greater …
