ARE REALLOCATIONS OF TIME BETWEEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR AND SLEEP ASSOCIATED WITH LOW BACK PAIN? A COMPOSITIONAL DATA ANALYSIS

Are reallocations of time between physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep associated with low back pain? A compositional data analysis

Objectives The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore the associations of reallocating time between moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and sleep with occurrence, frequency and intensity of low back pain (LBP) among adults using compositional isotempor

Contribution of genes related to grain number (Gn1a and WFP) introgressed into NERICA 1 to grain yield under tropical highland conditions in central Kenya

ABSTRACTIn Kenya and many other African countries, improving rice productivity is vital for future food security.To improve rice productivity in Kenya, near-isogenic lines (NIL) were developed by introducing Gn1a and WFP, genes that function to increase grain number per panicle by increasing secondary and primary rachis-branches, into NERICA 1, a r

Modeling and Dynamic Response Analysis of a Compound Power-Split Hybrid Electric Vehicle During the Engine Starting Process

This study is aimed at revealing the dynamic response characteristics of a power-split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) during the mode transition process with the engine starting.In this paper, for a hybrid powertrain system whose engine is directly connected to a compound power-split transmission, the equivalent lever method is first used to analyze
