To overcome the numerical challenge of solving the high dimensional multi-component many-body Schrödinger equations, we further simplify the model with the Ehrenfest molecular dynamics to determine the motion of the nuclei, and use the Time-Dependent Current Density Functional Theory (TD-CDFT) to calculate the excitation of the electrons.
Furthermore, as compared to traditional metrics, complexity-based metrics may be more discriminating in characterizing the impact of Tai Chi and other multi-component mind-body interventions focused on the rehabilitation of postural control and balance.
Yoga is a wholistic multi-dimensional system of health and well-being that focuses on the mind and its functions, with multi-component mind-body practices, including four main categories of practice: i) physical postures and movement; ii) breathing exercises; iii) relaxation; and iv) mindfulness and meditation.
As such, tools derived from complex systems biology that capture the characteristics of integrated, multi-scale control (i.e., physiologic complexity) may be better suited to study human behavior in health and disease, and to evaluate the physiological impact of Tai Chi and other multi-component mind-body exercise interventions.
As these increases were linked to improved plantar sensation and physical function, this preliminary evidence suggests that metrics targeting the complex dynamics of human postural control may inform the impact of multi-component mind-body interventions in older adults with PN or other age-related balance disorders.
Multi-component molecular-level body composition reference methods: evolving concepts and future directions.
Indeed, several multi-component indices (BODE (Body mass index, the degree of airflow Obstruction, Dyspnoea, and Exercise capacity), DOSE (Dyspnoea, airflow Obstruction, Smoking status and Exacerbation frequency) and ADO (Age, Dyspnoea, airflow Obstruction)) have been proposed in recent years to better describe the disease and to establish the prognosis.
Secondary analysis of data from a 3-year randomized controlled trial conducted in 42 middle schools examining the impact of a multi-component school-based program on body mass index (BMI) and student health behaviors.
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of the multi-component educational intervention "PortionControl@HOME" on body mass index and portion control behavior.
A limitation of the present study is the use of the isotope dilution technique for validating DXA measurements of body composition instead of a multi-component criterion technique.
iv) Multi-component programs with low challenge of balance - full body fitness programs using inertial sensors and/or motion capture devices; this type of training usually simulated sports and involved aerobic, resistance, power and agility components with a low balance challenge.
