Measuring and Predicting Total Energy Expenditure Among Highly Active Humans in Natural Environments
<p>The current model for predicting human total energy expenditure (TEE), the Factorial Method, significantly underestimates actual TEE, particularly among highly active populations. In this study, the Allocation Model is presented for predicting TEE. Unlike the Factorial Method, the Allocation …

High Levels of Total Energy Expenditure in Ultra-Endurance Athletes: Is There Evidence for Constraint?
… of physical activity (PA) to the daily energy budget is limited. The prevailing model of a linear relationship between PA and total energy expenditure (TEE) has been challenged by models that predict an upper limit of TEE (constrained) or a compensatory decrease elsewhere in the budget …

Orthodontic bracket bond strength and resin composite adhesive degree of conversion associated with type of curing unit and total energy
… adhesive as function of type of curing unit and total energy, as well as evaluated the correlation between shear bond strength and degree of conversion. Curing units included in the study were plasma arc (PA), light emitting diode (LED) and quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) with 5k, 10k, or 15k …

Prediction of Non-Resting Energy Expenditure using Accelerometry
The accurate measurement of total energy expenditure is a cornerstone of metabolic research. However, there is a lack of measurement methods that are valid, objective, inexpensive, and easy to use. Accelerometry, along with validated prediction equations for resting energy requirements, may provide …

Taiwan's industrial structural change and its implication on energy intensity
… shift in industrial mix had contributed to the energy intensity in Taiwan. The concern for energy intensity is mainly because it is directly related to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission, and international negotiations on global climate change might lead to an international regulation of CO2 …

Models for transition metal oxides and for protein design
… for predicting the electronic structure and total energy of transition metal oxides. We demonstrate that the LDA+U method, in which localized d electrons are treated with a Hubbard-like model, gives considerably better predictions in band gap, magnetization, lattice constants, redox …
