@article{27728, abstract = {{ Context: Whether prepubertal glucocorticoid status impacts on the timing of puberty is not clear. Objective: The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between prepubertal glucocorticoid status and early or late pubertal markers, independent of adrenarchal and nutritional status. Design and Participants: Prospective cohort study of healthy Caucasian children (n = 111, 56 boys) who provided both 24-h urine samples and weighed dietary records 1 and 2 yr before the start of pubertal growth spurt [age at take-off (ATO)]. Measurements: Major urinary glucocorticoid and androgen metabolites determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis were summed to assess daily overall cortisol (ΣC21) and adrenal androgen secretion; urinary free cortisol and cortisone measured by RIA were summed (UFF+UFE) as an indicator of potentially bioactive free glucocorticoids. Main Outcomes: The main outcomes included ATO, age at peak height velocity, age at menarche/voice break, ages at Tanner stage 2 for breast (girls) and genital (boys) development, and pubic hair. Results: In girls ΣC21, but not UFF+UFE, was associated with pubertal markers after adjusting for overall adrenal androgen, urinary nitrogen, and body fat. Girls with higher ΣC21 (fourth quartile) reached ATO 0.7 yr (P = 0.01) and menarche 0.9 yr later (P = 0.006) than girls with lower ΣC21 (first quartile). The ΣC21 tended to be also positively associated with age at Tanner stage 2 for breast (P = 0.1), Tanner stage 2 for pubic hair (P = 0.1), and age at peak height velocity (P = 0.06). In boys, neither the ΣC21 nor UFF+UFE was related to pubertal timing. Conclusion: An individually higher prepubertal glucocorticoid secretion level, even in physiological range, appears to delay early and late pubertal timing of healthy girls, particularly their onset of pubertal growth spurt and menarche. }}, author = {{Shi, Lijie and Wudy, Stefan A. and Buyken, Anette and Maser-Gluth, Christiane and Hartmann, Michaela F. and Remer, Thomas}}, issn = {{0021-972X}}, journal = {{The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism}}, pages = {{E891--E898}}, title = {{{Prepubertal Glucocorticoid Status and Pubertal Timing}}}, doi = {{10.1210/jc.2010-2935}}, year = {{2011}}, } @article{27729, author = {{Diethelm, Katharina and Bolzenius, Katja and Cheng, Guo and Remer, Thomas and Buyken, Anette}}, issn = {{1747-7166}}, journal = {{International Journal of Pediatric Obesity}}, pages = {{e114--e123}}, title = {{{Longitudinal associations between reported sleep duration in early childhood and the development of body mass index, fat mass index and fat free mass index until age 7}}}, doi = {{10.3109/17477166.2011.566338}}, year = {{2011}}, } @article{27743, author = {{Gopinath, Bamini and Buyken, Anette and Flood, Victoria M and Empson, Marianne and Rochtchina, Elena and Mitchell, Paul}}, issn = {{0002-9165}}, journal = {{The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition}}, pages = {{1073--1079}}, title = {{{Consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids, fish, and nuts and risk of inflammatory disease mortality}}}, doi = {{10.3945/ajcn.110.009977}}, year = {{2011}}, } @article{27744, abstract = {{The aim of the present study was to examine the association of pre-pubertal dietary energy density (ED) with both age and body fatness at the start of the pubertal growth spurt (age at take-off, ATO).

Mean energy intakes and amounts of foods/drinks consumed at baseline were derived from the records. ED (kJ/g) was calculated based on (1) all foods and drinks (ED_all), (2) foods and energy-containing drinks (ED_energy), (3) foods and milk as a drink, but no other beverages (ED_milk) and (4) foods only, solid or liquid (ED_food). Using multiple regression analyses, the association between the ED variables and ATO was investigated. Furthermore, Z-scores of BMI and fat mass index (FMI) at ATO were considered as outcomes to reflect body fatness at puberty onset. The results showed that ED at baseline was not associated with ATO, regardless of the ED method used. For example, mean ATO in the lowest v. highest tertile of ED_food was 9·3 (95 % CI 9·0, 9·5) v. 9·4 (95 % CI 9·1, 9·7) years, Ptrend = 0·8 (adjusted for sex, maternal age, birth weight, dietary protein, dietary fibre, baseline BMI Z-score).

Especially for large scenes, it is necessary to remove occluded objects to achieve a frame rate that provides an interactive environment. In order to benefit from the culling properly, often hierarchical data structures are used. These data structures typically create a spatial subdivision of a given scene into axis-aligned bounding boxes. These boxes can be tested quickly, but they are not very precise. By using these boxes, the included objects are detected as visible, even if other objects occlude them (false-positives). To get perfect results, the models’ original geometry included in the box has to be tested, but this would require too much computational power. To overcome this problem, original objects’ approximations could be used, but typical methods for mesh simplification cannot be applied, because they do not create an outer hull for a given object. We present a model simplification algorithm, which generates simple outer hulls, consisting of only few more triangles than a box, while preserving an object’s shape better than a corresponding bounding box. This approach is then extended to a hierarchical data structure, the so-called hull tree, that can be generated for a given scene to improve the visibility tests. Next, we present an approximative rendering algorithm, which combines the features of the hull tree with the use of inner hulls for efficient occlusion detection and global state-sorting of the visible objects. }}, author = {{Suess, Tim and Koch, Clemens and Jähn, Claudius and Fischer, Matthias}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the Graphics Interface 2011 Conference, May 25-27, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada}}, editor = {{Brooks, Stephen and Irani, Pourang}}, pages = {{79----86}}, publisher = {{Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society}}, title = {{{Approximative occlusion culling using the hull tree}}}, year = {{2011}}, } @inbook{17894, author = {{Mindt, Ilka and Mukherjee, Joybrato}}, booktitle = {{Anglistik.

One single visualization node, equipped with a high-end graphics adapter, is supported by a group of backend nodes with weak graphics performance. The objects of the scene are distributed among these backend nodes, they serve two purposes: First, they provide an out-of-core memory system for the visualization node. Second, they assist the visualization node's rendering by performing visibility calculations and only sending visible objects to the visualization node. In order to obtain fast rendering with our system, we have to distribute the objects among the backend nodes in a way that does not only guarantee an even distribution of the objects, but also an even distribution of the visibility calculations and the amount of data send to the visualization node. We identify necessary properties of the distribution and argue that a random distribution is a good candidate. Further, in order to reduce the number of objects sent to the visualization node per frame, we employ an approximate hierarchical occlusion culling in each backend node. For this, they are equipped, in addition to the objects assigned to them, with simplified versions of the other objects of the 3D scene. The visualization node is equipped with 512 MiB video memory and supported by 15 backend nodes.
