Obesity is one of the leading health concerns in the United States. Researchers and health care providers are interested in understanding factors affecting obesity and detecting the likelihood of obesity as early as possible. In this paper, we set out to recognize children who have higher risk of obesity by identifying distinct growth patterns in them. This is done by using clustering methods, which...
Mother love is essential for mother-child relationship, and is important for child's development. Despite of series of studies pertaining to the neural substrate of parental love, to date, however, no publication is found regarding the neural substrates of maternal love in shopping. In this study, we examined first-time mothers' brain activations in response to mother-related (purses, make-ups, and...
Brain region segmentation in neonatal magnetic resonance (MR) images is an essential task for computer-aided diagnosis of neonatal brain disorders using MR images. We have proposed a neonatal brain segmentation method using a fuzzy object model (FOM), which represents a prior knowledge of brain shape and location. The FOM is constructed from multiple neonatal brain MR images whose revised age was...
Combinatorial testing (CT) aims at detecting interaction failures between parameters in a system. Identifying the failure-inducing combinations of a failing test configuration can help developers find the cause of this failure. However, most studies in CT focus on detecting the failures rather than identifying failure-inducing combinations. In this paper, we propose the notion of a tuple relationship...
Resting-state study is a useful tool to investigate the brain activity related to cognitive abilities in children because it may be difficult for children to perform some experimental tasks. In the present study, we report a preliminary examination to associate the resting-state neuromagnetic signals from magnetoencephalogram (MEG) with cognitive abilities in children. We applied a non-linear time-series...
the present study adopts the research method of spot check and does an analysis on 14 body indexes of boys and girls from 3 to 6 years old, including body build, function, quality and ect. The results are as follows: generally speaking, kids in kindergarten of Urumqi that are up the grade account for 88%, which is 2% higher than the average in Xinjiang but 1.2% lower than the average of China. In...
We developed a simple, portable and easy system to the motion of pronation and supination of the forearm. This motion was measured by wireless acceleration and angular velocity sensor. The aim of this system is evaluation of minor nervous dysfunction. It is for the screening of the developmental disorder child. In this study, in order to confirm the effectiveness of this system, the reference curve...
Object: This paper aims to present the current vaccination situation of left-behind children in rural Handan, and the differences on vaccination Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) between the guardians of left-behind children and the guardians of non- left-behind children in rural Handan. Methods: Total 837 children born in 2007 were investigated through the questionnaire designed by UNICEF Strengthen...
We measured ear pulse waves in 38 children from a nursery school class for 5-year-olds. Ear pulse waves were measured in each child for 1 min. Two children then faced each other, and the ear pulses of both were measured. We used these biological data to examine the effect of facing another child and the relationship of this effect to an action index. The relationship between problem behavior in the...
