TL;DR: In this paper, a method of constructing a single signal subspace for high-resolution estimation of the angles of arrival of multiple wide-band plane waves is presented, which relies on an approximately coherent combination of the spatial signal spaces of the temporally narrow-band decomposition of the received signal vector from an array of sensors.
Abstract: This paper presents a method of constructing a single signal subspace for high-resolution estimation of the angles of arrival of multiple wide-band plane waves. The technique relies on an approximately coherent combination of the spatial signal spaces of the temporally narrow-band decomposition of the received signal vector from an array of sensors. The algorithm is presented, and followed by statistical simulation examples. The performance of the technique is contrasted with other suggested methods and statistical bounds in terms of the determination of the correct number of sources (detection), bias, and variance of estimates of the angles.

TL;DR: The BMI has been useful in population-based studies by virtue of its wide acceptance in defining specific categories of body mass as a health issue, but it is increasingly clear that BMI is a rather poor indicator of percent of body fat.
Abstract: The body mass index (BMI) is the metric currently in use for defining anthropometric height/weight characteristics in adults and for classifying (categorizing) them into groups. The common interpretation is that it represents an index of an individual's fatness. It also is widely used as a risk factor for the development of or the prevalence of several health issues. In addition, it is widely used in determining public health policies.The BMI has been useful in population-based studies by virtue of its wide acceptance in defining specific categories of body mass as a health issue. However, it is increasingly clear that BMI is a rather poor indicator of percent of body fat. Importantly, the BMI also does not capture information on the mass of fat in different body sites. The latter is related not only to untoward health issues but to social issues as well. Lastly, current evidence indicates there is a wide range of BMIs over which mortality risk is modest, and this is age related. All of these issues are discussed in this brief review.

TL;DR: In this article, nine soil organic models were evaluated using twelve datasets from seven long-term experiments and the performance of the models was compared both qualitatively and quantitatively, and possible reasons for differences in model performance were discussed in detail.

TL;DR: It is proposed that chromosomal rearrangements play a central role in human neoplasia and may exert their effects through related genomic mechanisms and a translocation could serve to place an oncogene next to an activating DNA sequence, a deletion to eliminate anOncogene repressor, and trisomy to carry extra gene dosage.
Abstract: High-resolution banding techniques for the study of human chromosomes have revealed that the malignant cells of most tumors analyzed have characteristic chromosomal defects. Translocations of the same chromosome segments with precise breakpoints occur in many leukemias and lymphomas, and a specific chromosome band is deleted in several carcinomas. Trisomy, or the occurrence of a particular chromosome in triplicate, is the only abnormality observed in a few neoplasias. It is proposed that chromosomal rearrangements play a central role in human neoplasia and may exert their effects through related genomic mechanisms. Thus, a translocation could serve to place an oncogene next to an activating DNA sequence, a deletion to eliminate an oncogene repressor, and trisomy to carry extra gene dosage.

TL;DR: Body mass index (BMI) should be used routinely to screen for overweight adolescents and youths with BMIs > or = 95th percentile for age and sex, or > 30 should be considered overweight and referred for medical follow-up to determine underlying diagnoses.
