Lyris Hung
Ever wonder exactly how a musical instrument string is made? What's the difference between steel core, synthetic core, and gut? Why do your strings go false, and how often should you REALLY change them? Answers to these questions and many more provided by Lyris Hung, D'Addario's Orchestral String Product Manager, will help you become a more educated string purchaser, player, and teacher.
As the largest musical instrument string manufacturer in the world with over 100 years of string-making experience in America, DAddario & Co. has created a presentation that attempts to demystify the strings on our instruments. By detailing the steps and components of what makes a string work, we hope that everyone will gain more understanding of what suits their instrument, playing style, and level. Well discuss everything that goes into making and playing on a string, including materials, maintenance, longevity, rosin, and everything in between. This is also an informative session for all educators, not just string players! The clinic will demonstrate the following topics, followed by a Q&A session:
• History of string-making
• Anatomy of a string Whats inside and outside, and why does it matter?
• Tension and gauge what does it all mean?
• How to care for your strings maintenance, how to properly change them and maintain longevity

There's no denying the fact that natural disasters are terrible to witness. Many people can find their property heavily damaged as a result of these events, meaning that they are going to require help to get back on their feet. However, those who are seemingly looking to offer help might have the idea of committing fraud. As Joe Piacentile and others will tell you, disaster fraud is a serious event that requires your utmost attention.
If you're curious to know what disaster fraud entails, it occurs when a victim is approached by an unknown party, telling them that they'd like to help with repairs. Those who have been impacted by natural disasters might want to take these parties up on their offers. After all, it's difficult to get back on one's feet after this occurs, depending on the severity of the disaster. With that said, information provided by names like Joe Piacentile is useful in this scenario.
Disaster fraud can impact people for a number of reasons, chief among them being the delicate state the victims are in. After all, they have lost quite a bit due to these natural occurrences, meaning that they are going to want to receive as much help as possible for their families. What happens, though, is that the victims are left with financial troubles they didn't ask for. As a result, it's important to know how this form of fraud can be avoided.
According to Joseph Piacentile and other such authorities, it's important that you do your research on the matter. If someone comes to your door and offers repair-related services, you shouldn't feel shy about asking for certification. It's also in your best interest to get records of all of the work done, ranging from binding contracts to outlines of the hours worked per day. Having all of this documentation on your side is nothing short of useful.
As you can see, there are quite a few ways in which disaster fraud can be avoided. It's always unfortunate to hear about those that have lost their homes due to events they couldn't prepare for. While this is a serious issue, especially when given the trauma associated with it, it shouldn't have to come with the territory. This is where ample research and a bit of common sense can come into the picture. Suffice it to say, these elements will prove to be beneficial in the long term.

It's a common notion that an empath is the one who experiences what the other person is going through but the reality is, an empath actually understands why the person is going through that particular phase. This understanding gives you a clear picture of whatever that is happening. However, an empath can differ from another empath in terms of feeling these experiences because each one of us have a varied set of empathetic abilities.
Wondering which of these are you?
Just look at the 6 circles very closely and identify the one you feel most connected to.
The one you choose will help in determining the type of empath you are and guide you in utilizing the most of this special gift you have.
If You Chose 1
You are a Plant Empath:
You can sense the needs of plants. You are probably in some profession related to nature like parks, sanctuaries, forests. You understand plants more than anyone else and know the right plant for a place.
You can connect to trees and even get guidance from them. Spending your time sitting by trees gives you insights into your own life. The plants too need your guidance and care to survive.
If You Chose 2
You are a Animal Empath
Being an animal empath, you can communicate with animals. You have probably studied animal physiology and are involved in profession which asks you to take care of animals. Consider training as an animal healer if you haven't already. This will help you make the most of your gift.
You can understand the needs of animals; you spend most of your time with them and you can easily detect if something is wrong with them and you know exactly how to help them.
If You Chose 3
You are an Intuitive Empath:
You pick up information of people without even communicating with them. As a Claircognizant or Intuitive Empath, you can easily understand the main intention of the other person and read them very easily.
With this ability, you have to surround yourself with people who are like you. It's important for you to strengthen your own energetic field so that you don't get exhausted by thoughts of others.

Maintaining Oral Health and Cancer
Charles W. Wakefield attended the UCLA School of Dentistry and served in the U.S. Army Dental Corps. Currently, he is in private practice with his son in Lewisville, Texas.
BY Charles W. Wakefield, DDS, MAGD, ABGD, FICD, FACD
PUBLISHED March 16, 2016
THE PATIENT IS REFERRED to my dental practice, which is next door to the medical center. He is fourth on the heart transplant list and has facial swelling with a large abscess around a tooth that has been in a diseased state for years. In his immunocompromised state, an infection could lead to a potentially fatal situation. Another patient, two months post-liver transplant, significantly immunosuppressed, is referred to me with a severe oral infection. Other patients are sent to me with varying conditions involving the oral cavity, including teeth, gums and bone surrounding the teeth, which could lead to a systemic bacteremia that could have negative consequences for the patient. The most common complaint from patients undergoing chemotherapy who are immunocompromised is that they have difficulty eating because they suffer from mucositis, which is an inflamed, red, raw, sore mucous membrane lining in the mouth and throat.
Chemotherapy attempts to kill the fast-growing cancer cells, but in addition to the desired therapeutic goal, it also affects other fast-growing cells such as hair, bone marrow and the tissue lining the mouth. The oral mucosa exists in a traumatic environment, with different temperatures, acidity, trauma of chewing, etc., and it turns over and is replaced every 10 to 14 days. When this replacement process is disturbed with chemotherapy, patients are extremely sensitive to acid, spicy, hot and gritty foods, and are often unable to eat. Nutrition is critical to these patients, and there are protocols to control this sensitivity that begin with frequent warm saline rinses and advance to topical anesthetics, coating with various solutions, to narcotics to facilitate eating. Then there are the infections mentioned above that may lead to very serious consequences, including organ rejection or death. But could this be controlled or even prevented proactively?
The oral cavity has between 400 to 500 potentially pathogenic bacteria in its normal flora. These are tolerated well in normal patients with normal quality and quantity saliva. (Saliva is an entire subject for another post, though). The anatomy of the oral cavity has teeth, the gums and bone. The tooth roots go deep into the bone for anchorage and contact the systemic blood vessels. Inflammation in the mouth must be controlled so that the bacteria don't enter the bloodstream. This can be prevented through excellent oral hygiene — there is a collar a few cells in depth that seals the crown of the tooth so bacteria remain in the mouth, but if this breaks down, there is constant bacteremia throughout the body. When you have a dental exam, the hygienist probes around all the teeth to measure the depth of the small crevice, called a sulcus, around all teeth. If this is less than 4 mm deep, careful oral hygiene is able to control the inflammation. Greater than 4 mm is unmanageable, even in healthy patients. If patients brush or floss and notice even a slight amount of bleeding from the tissue surrounding the teeth, there is systemic bacteremia.
This is called the oral-systemic connection, and can contribute to a variety of conditions such as pre-term birth babies, low birth weight babies, Alzheimer's disease, renal disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and aspiration pneumonia.
Oral hygiene is important for many reasons, but in transplant and all immunocompromised patients with cancer, it is critical. In most patients, there is a gray area in which a dentist may "watch" an area of minimal or potential pathology and attempt long term maintenance therapy that may succeed. But in an immunocompromised patient, there is no "watch" area, it is either meticulously clean and maintained, or not.
chemotherapy, radiation or antiresorptive therapy is initiated,
pathology must be definitely eliminated, and an environment created that the patient is able to maintain — this depends on motivation; diet; dexterity and ability; caregivers and education; and close supervision by a dentist or hygienist who is familiar with these conditions. Once treatment starts, as with the two patients presented at the beginning of this post, there can be problems. Infections may progress unchecked and if extraction or surgery is required, patients often cannot tolerate the stress and are unable to heal properly. Hospitalization and the resultant "Who is going to pay?" situation can then arise.
In summary, it is absolutely essential that the oral cavity and its health are meticulously evaluated and treated prior to initiation of treatment for cancer. Physicians, nurses, dentists, oral hygienists and dieticians must create a team to prevent potentially devastating conditions. All problems cannot be prevented (but many can) and patient discomfort can be managed. The good news with chemotherapy is that, most of the time, it is a transient situation.
Charles W. Wakefield, DDS, MAGD, ABGD, FICD, FACD, attended the UCLA School of Dentistry and served in the U.S. Army Dental Corps. He has served as a consultant to the American Dental Association. Currently, he is in private practice with his son, Brian Wakefield, DDS, FAGD, in Lewisville, Texas.
Wakefield is also a multiple myeloma patient who had a transplant in 2004. He was told to minimize brushing and flossing when his platelets fell to 18,000. Using a technique with minimal trauma, Wakefield says he brushed, flossed and rinsed with 0.12 percent chlorhexidine twice daily to maintain oral hygiene without bleeding.

Westell's ClearLink® DAS enhances cellular coverage within buildings while simultaneously addressing DAS Near-Far
They've done it again!
Westell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTL), a provider of in-building wireless, intelligent site management, cell site optimization, and outside plant solutions, has introducted its ClearLink® DAS. ClearLink DAS is an advanced in-building distributed antenna system (DAS) used to enhance high-speed cellular technologies, such as LTE, and provide outstanding coverage with superior data rates within buildings.
Westell's ClearLink DAS is engineered to deliver exceptional system performance with unparalleled flexibility and scalability, and provides advanced features to simplify DAS commissioning and optimization. In addition, ClearLink DAS addresses the Near-Far performance issue, which is inherent in conventional DAS networks. Near-Far is a term describing performance and capacity degradation when a mobile device is operating within a DAS coverage area, but is being serviced by a distant macro cell tower.
"Traditional DAS designs are not able to mitigate the impact of DAS Near-Far," explains Scott Goodrich, President of Westell's In-Building Wireless Group. "If Near-Far is not addressed when designing and deploying a DAS, particularly as LTE is rolled out in PCS and other bands, both participants and non-participants will experience significantly degraded performance. Westell's ClearLink DAS not only enhances cellular coverage within buildings, but also protects DAS owners and users from macro network interference that can seriously degrade service and capacity, or disrupt the service altogether."
"The DAS industry needs a solution to address the service impact as a result of Near-Far," states Kern Davis, Vice President of Operations and Senior Engineer at Communication Technology Services (CTS). "Westell's ClearLink DAS solution is the first to address Near-Far and this performance affecting issue."
Highlights of Westell's ClearLink® DAS:
- Hybrid digital and analog solution that provides superior DAS performance for the ultimate end-user experience.
- Improves Near-Far performance by better than 15 dB over a conventional analog DAS.
- "Pay as you grow" DAS solution allows users to add additional bands and/or service providers at any time – expanding the system as requirements evolve.
- Flexible and scalable head-end architecture – permits the combination of POIs (Point of Interface) and DAS equipment in one chassis.
- Decreases OpEx by reducing commissioning time with the advanced auto path detection and calibration feature, which adjusts parameters in the RF and optical paths to optimize system performance.
- The echo feature streamlines data entry of like parameters between common modules, further simplifying the configuration process.
- Provides individual sub-band power control in the remote as well as alarming and user access based on login credentials for neutral host deployments.
- Increases wireless service provider revenue by improving data rates and customer satisfaction through enhanced Near-Far performance.

U.S. Airmen and Sailors Help Kenyans Bring Clean Water to Drought-Stricken Garissa District
Airmen and sailors joined Kenyans on March 30 and 31, 2008, in an effort to increase access to clean drinking water within the country's arid Garissa District.
More than 100,000 pounds of well-drilling equipment and nearly a dozen Navy construction specialists known as "Seabees" were delivered to Nairobi's airport by an Air Force C-17 Globemaster III during the two-day delivery mission. The Seabees will use the equipment to drill wells which will be used by Somali nomads who inhabit the area between Nairobi and Kenya's eastern border with Somalia.
The well-drilling project is part of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa's mission to develop and nurture partnerships and promote regional cooperation within northeast Africa.
One of the dozen Seabees who will help the Kenyans drill the well has an uncommon perspective on the project. Petty Officer 3rd Class Jack Ndaiga, a Seabee deployed from Gulfport, Mississippi, was raised in Kenya and lived there until he moved to the United States at age 21. This was Ndaiga's first time back in Kenya since he joined the Navy three years ago.
"I'm excited to come back and help out," he said. "Some people have to walk 20 miles for water, so to have it closer would be a good thing."
The petty officer's sentiments were echoed by the project's leader Navy Chief Petty Officer Joseph Hangren, who said access to clean drinking water is a major problem in Kenya. This project is part of an overall plan that looks to establish more wells which help Africans help themselves. He said planning the multiple well projects is a long, drawn-out process that aims to improve stability in the region without having any negative environmental consequences.
According to one Kenyan official, the well projects are helping the task force's effort to create and sustain relationships within Africa. Kenyan Colonel Tai Gituai, the chief of operations for the well-drilling project, said the water will help many Kenyans.
"We look forward to cooperation and continuous engagement between Kenya and the United States," he said.
The crew of the C-17, who picked-up the equipment and Sailors from the Djibouti airport near Camp Lemonnier, was only in Kenya long enough to off load their cargo and passengers, but the significance of their contribution to the welfare of Africa's people was not lost on one of the crew's Airmen.
"It always pays off to deliver necessary items to a country in need," said Airman 1st Class Joshua Weston. "In this case, we were able to supply machinery so that people under drought conditions could receive water -- a basic need of life."

Driving to work together in the morning is such a treat for Z and I. We get to just sit in the car, talk and watch the traffic or the sky (especially if the weather is not so good). I don't even turn on the music just so I can hear him. Sometimes he picks up a comic book and reads it (well, he looks at the pictures).
M's side of the bed is filled with multiple pieces of clothing – 2-3 tshirts and a pj pant. When V comes into our bed I have to make a barrier for her with pillows so she doesn't roll off the bed. This time, she crawled on top of the pile of pillows and clothes and slept there for about 6-8 minutes before realizing that it was uncomfortable.

New GE 'In The Wild' Shows How The IoT Is Making Smart Trains Smarter
The Internet of Things is already helping people track their health with smart wristbands and reduce their home energy use with connected thermostats. Now, as viewers of GE's "In the Wild" web video series will discover, the IoT has scaled up — way up — to turn industry's biggest machines into data-generating powerhouses.
In a recent episode of the new GE web series "In the Wild," host Alie Ward visited GE Transportation's Engine Plant in Grove City, Pennsylvania, where engineer Ashwin Bhatawadekar showed her how he and his colleagues turn diesel-electric locomotives into smart trains.
Each locomotive has a 4,500-horsepower Tier 4 engine equipped with some 30 sensors that constantly transmit data about conditions such as oil pressure and manifold air temperature to the cloud. GE Transportation's Global Performance and Optimization Center in Erie, Pennsylvania, then uses software analytics to comb through the information, find meaningful insights and send detailed recommendations it calls "prescriptions" to global customers. The center processes data from 17,000 trains in 23 countries. "Today, we can tell them what the problem is before it fails in some cases," says Dave Gibson, the center's operation manager.
To learn more about these digitally powered trains, check out this video:

Wrong Steps, Hi & Saberhägen and Petwo Evans provide the new outlet's first three EPs.
Speaking with RA, Thomson said: "I've realised lately that I'm in quite a unique position where a large majority of [Huntleys & Palmers] output is by emerging artists who aren't really on the touring circuit. As such, their studio output is a lot greater than those who might be. This means that speed is an important factor in getting their music out there and allowing them to develop. So I've felt a need to start a new label which will cut any possible corners to get their music into shops."
The first three 12-inches will come out simultaneously in November, from artists who have put out records on Huntleys + Palmers in the past: Hi & Saberhägen, Wrong Steps and Petwo Evans. Much like Thomson's edits-focused Highlife label, Belters will forgo full artwork and instead release hand-stamped white-labels. As for the name, Thomson says Belters will focus on full-on dance floor fare. "Huntleys will continue, but serve as the sort of 'mother label' which will specialise in albums, reissues and bespoke releases," he says.
Thomson played some new Belters tracks on a recent NTS show.

It's time to apply the philosophy of MTV's Pimp My Ride to your dinner. Say you have a taco recipe that is so-so. Your tacos will feed hungry people, but chances are no one you've served them to have torn off their clothes to show their appreciation. That is a damn shame Cook To Bang will rectify. We're taking a simple taco recipe, supping it up with aphrodisiac-laden flavor, and letting that shit ride across your plates then down your gullets faster than you can say, "I'll get some protection." I learned a similar recipe while acting a fool in Baja California chasing senoritas while downing margaritas. These tacos sure made my beach side dalliances more enjoyable. I smuggled the recipe across the border along with some fireworks and KABOOM! Pleasant pimpin'. Read the rest of this entry »

GRILL BEN DOVER'S SOLESeptember 4, 2015
That Ben Dover better bend over for what he's done. Corporal punishment is the only fitting penance for the food slurs he committed. He tarnished his soul with this Dover sole. The bastard though that he could make a fish marinade out of blueberries, New Mexico chilies and coconut milk. Ha! How could a strange commingling of flavors like that taste anything but weird? Clearly he must know the consequences of his reckless cooking. Granted, I haven't tasted his culinary cancer, but it has to be awful. Right? Fine, if you insist I don't try him in the kangaroo court I call my garage, I will try a bite. <takes bite, chews> You see! It's guilt…glorious! <touching self> The delicate blueberry taste dances with the New Mexico chili wolves and cools down with a river of soothing coconut milk. <does cartwheel> I hereby dismiss this case. Ben Dover deserves a commendation for his culinary bravery. Ladies of the court, please try a bite of this food pioneer's masterpiece and meet me in the judge's chambers!

IMPALE 'EM WITH YOUR SWORDFISHJuly 10, 2015
Alas, there is no escaping your fate. We shall duel at dawn's first light. You wrote your destiny when you insulted my honor. By not partaking in the fine FINGER FOOD I prepared, nor acquiescing to my subtle seductions, I am forced to take things a might bit further. So I have upped the ante of our rendezvous with an unstoppable thrust of nature. This wicked weapon will pierce thy heart and expose thy loins. There is nothing thou can do to hold me back from my urge for triumphant trolloping. And to think my foes presume this dish to be anything but simple sensational seduction. En garde, I say!

TURN YOU OUT TURKEY BURGERJuly 4, 2015
Hamburgers are not normally considered sexy, but they are a damn tasty staple of the American diet. Turkey meat however is leaner, meaner and greener. The protein does you right plus there's less fat and twice the flavor when cooked right. My thanks go out to the Native Americans for turning the Pilgrims onto this precious bird (sorry about taking your land and all). The fire charring the meat empowers the caveman in every male chef. The lady chef or date can enjoy this tasty piece of the American dream and not worry about the dish going straight to her thighs. When you bit into the center and find the goat cheese goodness, a choir of angels with trumpets shall inspire a tryst of the kinkiest order. I tried a similar dish at a bourgeois New York restaurant priced somewhere upwards of $25. The bill hurt my wallet, but my palette was well satisfied and my brain full of inspiration. This summertime dish always leads to good times and enough erotic memories to last me through winter. Read the rest of this entry »

Is the SenseWear Armband accurate enough to quantify and estimate energy expenditure in healthy adults?
In recent years, there has been an increase in experimental and epidemiological studies confirming the connection between physical activity (PA), health parameters, and global mortality in different populations (1). It has been shown that people who perform PA on a regular basis are less likely to suffer from chronic illness or premature death (2). The health benefits of PA also have repercussions on a national economic level as health costs for physically active people are lower (3). Because of the importance of this relationship, very accurate PA measurement methods are needed to establish more specific links between PA and health outcomes and to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention programs (4).
Although there are methods that are considered to be gold standards for the validation of other methods, such as direct calorimetry, doubly labelled water (DLW), indirect calorimetry (IC), and direct observation (5), accelerometers are the most commonly used monitors for research and medical purposes when quantifying levels of PA in subjects (6). They estimate the movement of the body based on changes in acceleration over time on one, two, or three planes, depending on the characteristics of the accelerometer used (7). To obtain good measurements, they must be worn very close to the body and as near as possible to the center of gravity (7). To measure the acceleration intensity, accelerometers use a piezoelectric sensor ("cantilever beam" or "integrated chip sensor") and microprocessors (8). However, the need for improvement has led to the recent emergence of a new technology that combines the accelerometer data with other physiological sensors integrated into a single device, such as the SenseWear Armband (SWA) (BodyMedia Inc., Pittsburgh, PA).
The SWA is a relatively new device that can be used to quantify energy expenditure (EE) and is designed to be worn on the upper arm over the triceps. Its internal sensors include an accelerometer, a thermal flow sensor, a galvanic sensor that records skin response, a skin temperature sensor, and an air temperature sensor (9). The accelerometer in the armband has two axes and uses a microelectromechanical sensor that measures movement. The software created by the manufacturer calculates EE using a patented algorithm that combines acceleration, heat flow, and other parameters. However, the percentage of each parameter (>20 output parameters in total) that contributes to the prediction equation is unclear (10).
The SWA has the advantage of being able to quantify EE for very low-intensity activities or during static exercises that do not require walking or running (9). It is for this reason that it has been chosen for EE quantification studies in individuals with low mobility, such as older individuals [no difference in mean ± standard deviation (SD) values between the DLW and SWA methods, P=0.59; intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC =0.87] (11), women with rheumatoid arthritis (ICC for 7 days =0.96) (12), and people with hemiplegia (ICC =0.59 for the hemiplegic arm, and ICC =0.70 for the unaffected arm) (9). The SWA has also been validated in young adults (nonsignificant differences versus IC in mean ± SD) and sedentary people (moderate correlation with IC, r =0.47–0.69) for different levels of PA (13,14). However, to the best of our knowledge, no validation studies have been conducted in healthy adults. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the precision and validity of the SWA monitor for quantification of PA and EE levels in healthy adults aged between 40 and 55 years.
Twenty-three healthy adults (56.5% women) aged between 40 and 55 years participated in the study. The anthropometric characteristics of the participants were as follows: age (48±3.42 years), height (167.0±10.73 cm), body mass (63±13.35 kg), body mass index (22.78±6.38%), and muscle mass (48.25±9.53 kg), the latter of which was estimated using electrical bioimpedance (electrical bioimpedance; Tanita BC 420SMA Portable Body Composition Monitor).
The protocol was developed in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of 1964 for research involving humans (considering the latest modification of 2013), the study was approved by the University's Human Ethics Committee (University of Zaragoza), and all participants signed an informed consent form for participation in the study. The participants were excluded from the study if they were suffering from a musculoskeletal or cardiovascular disease that would impede them from performing the set protocols, if they were under the effects of any medication that may alter their metabolism, and if they had any other contraindication for PA. All participants completed a physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q) prior to performing the experimental protocol. Only two participants were excluded from the study because they answered "yes" to one or more of the questions on the questionnaire.
Experimental protocol
All participants performed the following standardized PA for 10 minutes each, with 5 minutes of rest between each activity: remaining at rest, walking at 3 km·h-1, walking at 5 km·h-1, running at 7 km·h-1, running at 9 km·h-1, and sitting and standing with a chair at a rate of 30 cycle·min-1 using a metronome for accuracy. The treadmill was set at an incline of 0° for all activities.
The participants wore the SWA on their right arms throughout the protocol, and their EE level was measured simultaneously using an indirect calorimeter.
A model Quasar Med 4.0 h/p/cosmos treadmill was used (Nussdorf-Traunstein, Germany).
The indirect calorimeter was used to measure EE and oxygen consumption for each activity using open circuit ergospirometry with an Oxycon Pro metabolic measurement system from Jaeger-Viasys Healthcare (Hoechberg, Germany), which provides breath-by-breath gas analysis. Occasional non-standard respirations (e.g., coughing, speaking, or sneezing) were eliminated from the dataset when a value exceeded three times the SD from the mean, which was calculated using the average of two intervals before and two intervals after the non-standard respirations (15). The volume of the gas analyzer was calibrated on a daily basis using a gas with known content levels (16% O2 and 5% CO2) (16).
The SWA was initiated via a USB-PC connection using the software provided by the manufacturer and was synchronized with the metabolic measurement system. The variables of gender, age, weight, and height obtained through electrical bioimpedance for each participant were entered prior to carrying out each test.
Statistical analysis
Of the 10 minutes over which measurements were taken, only the middle 5 were selected for data analysis for each activity and for each of the data collection methods.
To identify any significant differences between the caloric expenditure estimation methods (indirect calorimeter/SWA) for each of the standardized PAs (rest, walking at 3 and 5 km·h-1, running at 7 and 9 km·h-1, and sitting/standing with a chair), an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted using the measurements repeated 2×6 times. If significant differences were found, the Bonferroni test was used as a post-hoc test to compare pairs. Bland-Altman analysis was also conducted to evaluate concordance between the two EE estimation methods. Calculations were made of the values of the differences in means (BIAS), SD, and limits of agreement at 95% (LOA). The association between the difference in means and the magnitude of the measurements (e.g., heteroscedasticity) was also examined via regression analysis. For the latter analysis, the difference between the SWA and indirect calorimeter values was introduced as a dependent variable, while the mean value [(SWA METs + indirect calorimeter METs)/2] was defined as the independent variable for each activity.
Finally, the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) were calculated to evaluate the precision of the SWA in classifying different levels of PA. The maximum value of the AUC is 1 and represents perfect classification; a value of 0.50 indicates the complete absence of accuracy in the classification. It is considered that values ≥0.90 are excellent, ≥0.80–0.90 are good, 0.8–0.70 are average, and <0.70 are poor (17).
For the data analysis, an Excel spreadsheet was used along with GraphPad Prism 6.0 and the statistics package SPSS 21.0 for Mac (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL).
ANOVA of means repeated 2×6 times
Figure 1 shows the mean MET values obtained for each standardized PA for each monitoring device.
Bland-Altman analysis
The analysis proposed by Bland-Altman provided BIAS values of 1.56 METs (±1.83 METs) and LOA values from −2.03 to 5.16 METs. Figure 2 shows the results obtained from this analysis.
This analysis showed a significant association (R2 =0.03; P<0.05), therefore indicating heteroscedasticity.
ROC curves
Table 1 shows the data obtained from the ROC curve analysis for each type of PA.
Full table
This is the first study to evaluate the validity and precision of the SWA for estimating EE and PA levels in healthy adults aged 40 to 55 years old. The results show that the SWA yielded significantly different results for all the different activities except for running at 9 km·h-1 (>9 METs). The Bland-Altman analysis yielded a positive BIAS value (1.56), indicating that the SWA overestimates EE compared with the indirect calorimeter for each of the activities. In addition, the LOAs are very wide (7 METs), indicating little concordance between the two methods of estimation. Heteroscedasticity analysis revealed a positive correlation (R2 =0.03; P<0.05), showing that an increase in the magnitude of the variable measured (METs) leads to an increase in the differences of the estimations obtained using the two methods. ROC curve analysis showed that the SWA is not sensitive in estimating the level of PA at high intensities.
Our results are in agreement with those obtained by Fruin and Rankin in 2004, who estimated EE in 20 healthy adults (50% women; 18–35 years of age) while walking on a treadmill at three different intensity levels (80.50 m·min-1, 0° incline; 107.30 m·min-1, 0° incline; 107.30 m·min-1, 5° incline), concluding that the SWA overestimated EE at an incline of zero and underestimated it when the incline was increased (14). In contrast, Johannsen et al. [2007] studied the precision and validity of two monitoring models, the SWA and the SenseWear Mini Armband, compared with the doubly labeled water method for determining EE during daily activities. A total of 30 healthy adults, aged between 24 and 60 years, participated in this study and wore both monitors for a period of 14 days, even when sleeping. The final results showed the precision of the two monitors in measuring EE under these laboratory conditions; however, they concluded that the accuracy needed to be improved for high-intensity activities (18). Similarly, Drenowatz et al. [2011] evaluated the precision of the SWA compared with an indirect calorimeter in estimating EE when performing vigorous and very vigorous PA. A total of 20 young adults (24.3±2.8 years) participated in the study. They ran on a treadmill for 10 minutes at 65.75% and 85% of their VO2 max and for 30 min in the open air at the rhythm they found most comfortable. It was concluded that the limit up to which precise results were obtained was an intensity of approximately 10 METs (19). For a population group of elderly individuals (average age of 82 years), the results demonstrated the validity of the SWA in estimating daily EE (11). Therefore, there is great heterogeneity in the scientific evidence available for the validity and precision of the SWA in EE estimation. This may be a result of the specific characteristics of each population, the monitor firmware, the activities or experimental protocols in each study, or the statistical analyses used in each study.
In another study, the EE of 21 healthy adults was estimated while running on a treadmill for 10 minutes at different intensities, with the aim of comparing the validity of the SWA and other monitors (CSA, TriTrac-R3D, RT3, and BioTrainer-Pro) with an indirect calorimeter. It was concluded that the SWA was the most precise of the monitors for estimating total EE (20). In addition, comparing the results of the present study with those of the study by Santos-Lozano et al. (6), in which the subjects, the experimental protocol, and the statistical analysis were all similar and evaluated the precision of PA level estimation with the Actigraph GT3X accelerometer, it can be seen that the AUC values were similar. The sensitivities of the GT3X and the SWA are very similar, with that of the SWA being slightly better, particularly at light and moderate levels of PA. The specificity of the SWA was better, demonstrating its higher capacity for differentiating false-positives. Therefore, the SWA could provide similar EE and PA level estimation results to those of several accelerometers used both clinically and in research.
It is important to note that one of the limitations of this study is that it was carried out in a laboratory; therefore, the results cannot be extrapolated to EE estimations and PA level classification in normal daily life. However, having controlled each of the standardized PAs, the protocol can be reproduced under similar conditions.
To sum up, the SWA overestimates EE compared with the indirect calorimeter in a population of adults aged between 40 and 55 years. There are also indications that it is insufficiently precise for determining EE, compared with the indirect calorimeter, at high intensities. However, it could provide valid estimations of PA levels at low intensities.
We would like to thank the collaboration of the subjects who participated voluntarily in the study.
