Term weighting

Weight (or Mass) Basis. The terms weight fraction and weight percent" are often used as synonymous for mass fraction and mass percent, respectively. If the total... 

To obtain Polya s Theorem from this we take the "weight" of a figure to be x where k is its content. (We should note here that the term "weight" is regarded by some authors as synonymous with "content" however, it is preferable to use them for the two different concepts just given.) Suppose that a configuration is invariant under... 

Material balance or weight distribution sheets the laboratory process flow diagrams with material balance or weight distribution sheets for each test system sample are summarized from the raw data process data records. Material balance refers to the balance of a particular component of the food, usually solids, throughout a process. If moisture or total solids are not analyzed for each process stream and only the weights of each process stream are recorded, then the term weight distribution is more properly used.

Diethylpropion (25 mg before meals or 75 mg of extended-release formulation every morning) is more effective than placebo in achieving short-term weight loss. Diethylpropion is one of the safest noradrenergic appetite suppressants and can be used in patients with mild to moderate hypertension or angina, but it should not be used in patients with severe hypertension or significant cardiovascular disease. 

Atomoxetine (9), a selective NRI, is the first non-stimulant drug approved for the treatment of ADHD [22]. Interestingly, in a recent 12-week, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial in 30 obese women, atomoxetine demonstrated modest short-term weight loss efficacy relative to placebo [23].

Essentially all of us have used the terms weight and mass, and most people use these terms interchangeably. However, there is an important scientific distinction. The mass of an object is the amount of matter (stuff) contained in a particular body or volume of a substance. 

We have no name,for these two measures but if we wanted to we could call them by the ugly terms weight-time, and volume-time, respectively. So for first-order catalytic reactions Eq. 41 becomes... 

In simple terms, weight gain occurs when calorie intake exceeds calorie usage, and the excess fuel is stored as fat. 

While these disturbances do not appear to be a permanent feature or cause of AN, they are strongly entrenched and are not easily corrected by improved nutrition or short-term weight normalization.
