Comparison of Nutritional Intake of Free Living Adults Aged ≥75 Years Receiving Home Delivered Meals with Dietary Reference Values
(2014)House-bound older adults are at risk of malnutrition. However there is limited knowledge of dietary intake in this population in the UK. The 'meals on wheels' (MOW) service delivers meals to this population to help meet ... -
Comparison of optical and microphysical properties of pure Saharan mineral dust observed with AERONET Sun photometer, Raman lidar, and in situ instruments during SAMUM 2006
(2012-04-14)The Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) 2006, Morocco, aimed at the characterization of optical, physical, and radiative properties of Saharan dust. AERONET Sun photometer, several lidars (Raman and high-spectral-resolution ... -
Comparison of Oral, Intranasal and Aerosol Administration of Amiodarone in Rats as a Model of Pulmonary Phospholipidosis.
(2019-07-17)‘Foamy’ alveolar macrophages (FAM) observed in nonclinical toxicology studies during inhaled drug development may indicate drug-induced phospholipidosis, but can also derive from adaptive non-adverse mechanisms. Orally ... -
Comparison of oritavancin versus vancomycin as treatments for clindamycin-induced Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype 027 infection in a human gut model
(2008)To compare the efficacy of oritavancin and vancomycin in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) using an in vitro human gut model. -
A comparison of outcome for stroke patients in Barbados and South London
(2011)Background and aims: Little is known about the poststroke outcome in Caribbean populations. We investigated differences in the activities of daily living, level of social activities, living circumstances and survival for ... -
A Comparison of Paranoid Ideation in Clients with Psychosis or Anxiety Disorders During an Interactive Video Task
(2009-01-19)Background. Previous studies have shown that the use of simulated social environments permits paranoid thinking to be studied. These studies have used a cognitive model of paranoia and suggest that anxiety is an important ... -
Comparison of pediatric and adult antibiotic-associated diarrhea and Clostridium difficile infections
(2016-03-21)Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) and Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) have been well studied for adult cases, but not as well in the pediatric population. Whether the disease process or response to treatments ... -
Comparison of Pelvic Complex Kinematics During Treadmill and Overground Walking
(2012)OBJECTIVES: To determine if there are changes in temporal gait parameters with a focus on pelvis when comparing overground and treadmill ambulation, and to assess the effect of sex. DESIGN: An observational study employing ... -
Comparison of pepsinogen forms in cattle, sheep and goats
(1990)Different types and subtypes of pepsinogen extracted from bovine, ovine and caprine abomasa were found to differ according to their phosphate content and relative molecular mass (Mr). Bovine pepsinogens had organic phosphate ... -
Comparison of planktonic and biofilm-associated communities of Clostridium difficile and indigenous gut microbiota in a triple-stage chemostat gut model
(2014-04-30)BACKGROUND: Biofilms are characteristic of some chronic or recurrent infections and this mode of growth tends to reduce treatment efficacy. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is associated with a high rate of recurrent ... -
A comparison of properties of earnings, book value, and residual income for financial reporting under IAS and IFRS
(2011)We examine and compare the valuation properties of earnings and book value of equity under international accounting standards (IAS) during 2000-2002 with those under international financial reporting standards (IFRS) during ... -
Comparison of Raman Lidar Observations of Water Vapor with COSMO-DE Forecasts during COPS 2007
(2011-12)Water vapor measurements with the multiwavelength Raman lidar Backscatter Extinction Lidar-Ratio Temperature Humidity Profiling Apparatus (BERTHA) were performed during the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation ... -
Comparison of Real-Time DSP-Based Edge Detection Techniques for License Plate Detection
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)In this paper, edge detection techniques and their performance are compared when applied in license plate detection using an embedded digital signal processor. License plate detection remains to be the crucial part of a ... -
