Relative validity of the Chrono-Nutrition Behavior Questionnaire (CNBQ) against 11-day event-based ecological momentary assessment diaries of eating by Kentaro Murakami, Nana Shinozaki, Tracy A. McCaffrey, M. Barbara E. Livingstone, Shizuko Masayasu, Satoshi Sasaki

“…Spearman correlation coefficients between estimates based on the CNBQ and estimates based on the EMA food diaries were ≥ 0.50 for 26 variables (79%) on workdays and 22 variables (67%) on non-workdays (e.g., mid-sleep time; total eating frequency; timing of first eating occasion, last eating occasion, first meal, and last meal; duration of first meal and last meal; duration of eating window; eating midpoint; and time interval between wake time and first eating occasion and between last meal and sleep time), and 2 variables based on differences between workdays and non-workdays (e.g., eating jetlag base on breakfast timing). …”

A Variational Calculation of Diffusive Flux in a Mixed Boundary Value Problem by Pons, William, Pons, Stanley

“…Upon developing the general variational formulation, a full range solution for the circular disk conductor is considered as an example when implementing a two term trial function that comprises a general form based on known physical solutions to the problem at long and short times. The particular combination of the Lagrange density for the total transient diffusive flux and of the form of the trial functions are evidently effective in dealing with the difficulties often experienced when dealing with mixed boundary value heat transfer problems of the parabolic type which have a non-periodic time variable.…”
