  2. 16. Energy expenditure and substrate utilization during critical illness

    Author : Martin Sundström Rehal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Critical illness leads to major alterations in metabolism. The net result is a state where catabolism predominates over anabolism. The associated loss of lean body mass is significant and potentially harmful. It is commonly held that providing calories and protein from nutrition may attenuate this response. READ MORE

  5. 18. Assessment of physical activity and energy expenditure in adolescents

    Author : Ulf Ekelund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Accelerometry; Activity diary; Doubly labelled water; Heart rate monitoring; FLEX HR; Oxygen uptake; Physical activity level; Total energy expenditure; ;

    Abstract : Physical activity (PA) is a complex, multidimensional human behaviour that includes all bodily movement from fidgeting to participation in marathon running. The detailed relationship (i.e. dose - response) between the type and degree of PA and its effects on various aspects of health remains to be elucidated, not least in young people. READ MORE

  6. 19. Aspects of nutrition in geriatric patients - Especially dietary assessment, intake and requirements

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to develop and test the feasibility of a dietary record routine, where nursing staff assess the patient’s food and fluid intake based on standardised portion sizes and household measurements. The energy intake (EI) was studied with a dietary record in 61 geriatric patients. READ MORE

  7. 20. Measurement, Modeling, and Characterization for Energy-Efficient Computing

    Author : Bhavishya Goel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; power-aware scheduling; power estimation; transactional memory; power measurement; power management; energy characterization;

    Abstract : The ever-increasing ecological footprint of Information Technology (IT) sector coupled with adverse effects of high power consumption on electronic circuits has increased the significance of energy-efficient computing in the last decade. Making energy-efficient computing a norm rather than an exception requires that system designers and programmers understand the energy implications of their design and implementation choices.
