Investigations of Interests that are Induced by Remarkers and their Remarks for Item Advertisements Based on Influencer\u27s Recommendation

In order to sell items of a genre that each user is not interested in, their latent interests of the genre have to be induced. Therefore, we focus on "Influencer," who is the person that has a large impact on a user\u27s behaviors, and research a recommender system which advertises some items by utilizing influencer\u27s remarks via social media. This paper investigates what kinds of remarks and remarkers would induce users\u27interests. As the result, we have revealed many findings. One is that "One of the factors that would induce the users\u27 positive interests on the movie, is the positive reputation for the movie that is included in tweets." The other is that "If the user does not like the remarker, the user\u27s negative interests for the items in the remarks of the person would be induced, even though the person has famousness."INSPEC Accession Number: 1867430

Fat patterning of adolescents: Allometry of fatfolds

The relationship between fatfold thickness and fat mass of 101 male and 66 female adolescents (10–16 yr) was examined with the allometric equation y = bx a . Body composition was assessed by underwater weighing and 5 fatfolds were measured: triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal, and thigh. Percent body fat ranged from 4.9% to 56.1%. The log of each fatfold thickness was plotted versus the log of fat mass. All the relationships were linear and exhibited monophasic allometry. All the alpha coefficients (slope of the log-log plots) exhibited positive allometry. The prepubescent male and female alphas were similar and had the same pattern. The pattern contrasted the trunk with the extremity fatfolds. No differences ( P > .05) were found between the alphas for the pubescent males. The triceps alpha of the pubescent females was less ( P .05) different. In conclusion, the trunk was the predominant site of subcutaneous fat deposition for prepubescents, while pubescents exhibit a more general pattern of fat distribution. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/38553/1/1310040411_ftp.pd

Sex Differences in the Distribution of Subcutaneous and Internal Fat

One-hundred twenty-one male and 93 female subjects, aged 18-23 years, were selected for an investigation of the proportion of subcutaneous to total fat in the whole body. Body fat mass was calculated from body density using the Siri equation. Subcutaneous fat mass was calculated by measuring skinfold thickness at 15 sites and using a modification of the equation derived by Skerjl, Brozek, and Hunt. The main modification to this equation was the introduction of a midlayer area of subcutaneous tissue that is multiplied by fat thickness to give fat volume. The outermost body surface area, which has been utilized in previous research, results in an overestimation of the true subcutaneous fat mass. The average percentages of fat situated subcutaneously (PFSSs) were calculated as 53.7% for males and 62.6% for females. This sex difference is also seen in correlationregression analysis of PFSS and percentage of fat. In females PFSS decreases with increasing total percentage of fat, whereas in males there is no significant relationship between PFSS and total percentage of fat. This suggests that the proportion of subcutaneous to total fat distribution is negatively related to fatness in females
