Metabolic disease rates have increased dramatically over the last four decades.Classic understanding of metabolic physiology has attributed these global trends to decreased physical activity and caloric excess; however, these traditional risk factors insufficiently explain the magnitude and rapidity of metabolic health deterioration.Recently, the n
Comparison of the Noise Robustness of FVC Retrieval Algorithms Based on Linear Mixture Models
The fraction of vegetation cover (FVC) is often estimated by unmixing a linear mixture model (LMM) Bookends to assess the horizontal spread of vegetation within a pixel based on a remotely sensed reflectance spectrum.The LMM-based algorithm produces results that can vary to a certain degree, depending on the model assumptions.For example, the robus
The Influence of 3D Printing on Global Container Multimodal Transport System
Container multimodal transport system was an important promoter of postwar globalization.But in the future, part of global manufacturing may change from centralized to distributed due to 3D printing.To evaluate its impact, this research established a system dynamics model of sneakers supply chain firstly.The modeling showed that the total demand of
A Brief Review on the Recent Experimental Advances in Thermal Rectification at the Nanoscale
The concept of thermal rectification was put forward decades ago.It is a phenomenon in which the heat flux along one direction varies as the sign of temperature gradient changes.In bulk materials, thermal rectification has been Tweezer realized at contact interfaces by manufacturing asymmetric effective contact areas, electron transport, temperatur
Association between serotonin 2C receptor gene (HTR2C) polymorphisms and psychopathological symptoms in children and adolescents
Serotonin 2C receptors (5HT2C) are involved in serotonin-driven dynamic equilibrium adjustments responsible for homeostatic stability in brain structures that modulate behavior and emotions.Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the serotonin 2C receptor gene (HTR2C) have been associated with several neurological and mental disorders, includin
