There is some evidence that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet, and that a less strict regime, such as a modified Atkins diet, is similarly effective.

By 2007, the ketogenic diet was available from around 75 centres in 45 countries, and less restrictive variants, such as the modified Atkins diet, were in use, particularly among older children and adults.

Some clinicians consider the two less restrictive dietary variants — the low glycemic index treatment and the modified Atkins diet — to be more appropriate for adolescents and adults.

The ketogenic diet team at Johns Hopkins Hospital modified the Atkins diet by removing the aim of achieving weight loss, extending the induction phase indefinitely, and specifically encouraging fat consumption.

Compared with the ketogenic diet, the modified Atkins diet ( MAD ) places no limit on calories or protein, and the lower overall ketogenic ratio ( approximately 1: 1 ) does not need to be consistently maintained by all meals of the day.

Although it is also a high-fat diet ( with approximately 60 % calories from fat ), the LGIT allows more carbohydrate than either the classic ketogenic diet or the modified Atkins diet, approximately 40 – 60 g per day.

Like the modified Atkins diet, the LGIT is initiated and maintained at outpatient clinics and does not require precise weighing of food or intensive dietitian support.

To accommodate increased mass the magnetic field may be modified by appropriately shaping the pole pieces as in the isochronous cyclotrons, operating in a pulsed mode and changing the frequency applied to the dees as in the synchrocyclotrons, either of which is limited by the diminishing cost effectiveness of making larger machines.

In early 1971, a former Air Force electronics technician named John Draper ( later self-nicknamed Captain Crunch, Crunch, Crunchman, or Mr. Crunchtastic ) was informed by his phone phreak friend Joe Engressia that a toy whistle that was, at the time, packaged in boxes of the cereal could be easily modified to emit a tone at precisely 2600 Hertz, the same frequency that was used by AT & T long lines to indicate that a trunk line was ready to route a new call.

Operant conditioning ( or instrumental conditioning ) is a form of learning in which an individual's behavior is modified by its consequences ; the behavior may change in form, frequency, or strength.

Other alphabets only use a subset of the Latin alphabet, such as Hawaiian, and Italian, which uses the letters j, k, x, y and w only in foreign words.

The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics are also an abugida rather than a syllabary as their name would imply, since each glyph stands for a consonant which is modified by rotation to represent the following vowel.
