Decreasing Function01:27

Decreasing Function

290
A decreasing function describes a relationship where the output consistently declines as the input increases. This means that for any two input values, if one is greater than the other, the corresponding output is smaller. Mathematically, a function f is decreasing on an interval I if for every x1 < x2​ in I, f (x1) > f (x2). This type of behavior is visually identified on a graph that slopes downward from left to right.The nature of a function can be analyzed by calculating...

Minor Losses in Pipes01:25

Minor Losses in Pipes

1.9K
In pipe systems, minor losses refer to energy losses arising from components such as valves, bends, fittings, expansions, and other features that disrupt the steady flow of fluid. These disturbances cause energy dissipation through turbulence and resistance, which engineers quantify to manage system efficiency effectively.
Valves play a significant role in generating minor losses by obstructing or redirecting the fluid flow. When a valve is closed or partially closed, it restricts the flow...

Obesity01:24

Obesity

1.3K
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Pilot and Numeric Relaying01:21

Pilot and Numeric Relaying

492
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Decreased pulse rate01:14

Decreased pulse rate

902
Bradycardia is a medical condition in which the heart rate is slower than normal. It occurs when the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinus node, generates slower electrical impulses than the standard rhythm. In adults, bradycardia is diagnosed when the pulse rate falls below 60 beats per minute, indicating a deviation from the normal heart rate range.
There are specific risk factors that can elevate the likelihood of developing bradycardia. Advanced age is a significant factor, with...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Technology
  • Nutrition Science

Background:

  • Childhood obesity is a significant public health issue, disproportionately affecting low-income, minority populations in the U.S.
  • Technology-enhanced interventions offer potential for engaging at-risk youth and parents in improving dietary habits.
  • Existing tools are limited, particularly those that are theory-based, user-centered, and tailored to specific demographics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Interactive Nutrition Comics (INC) Web-based tool.
  • To explore the potential impact of INC on decreasing childhood obesity risk in Black/African American and Latino children aged 9-12.
  • To evaluate a novel, theory-based intervention co-developed with the target population.

Main Methods:

  • Intervention INC utilizes narrative transportation theory, social cognitive theory, and the health belief model.
  • A pilot, single-blind, 2-group randomized controlled study enrolled 89 child-parent dyads.
  • The intervention included interactive comics, goal-setting, and text/email reminders for children, and newsletters for parents.

Main Results:

  • Study enrollment was completed in November 2017 with 89 child-parent dyads randomized.
  • The experimental group received INC, while the comparison group received standard care.
  • Data analysis is currently underway to evaluate usage, usability, feasibility, dietary changes, and anthropometric measures.

Conclusions:

  • This study implements and assesses an innovative approach for delivering health messages to at-risk minority preadolescents and their parents.
  • Findings will inform the potential for a larger randomized controlled trial to assess efficacy.
  • The intervention aims to be acceptable, engaging, and feasible for improving dietary behaviors.
