Dysregulation of Kisspeptin and Leptin, as Anorexigenic Agents, Plays Role in the Development of Obesity in Postmenopausal Women by Andon Hestiantoro, Brilliant P. K. Astuti, Raden Muharam, Gita Pratama, Fiastuti Witjaksono, Budi Wiweko

“…In addition to anthropometric measurement, blood sample was collected from each subject for leptin, sOBR, free leptin index (FLI), and kisspeptin evaluation. Bivariate and correlation analysis discovered that leptin and FLI were positively correlated with BMI, while sOBR and kisspeptin were negatively correlated with BMI. …”

Jet Travel and Desert by Sean Clancy

“… Jet aircraft produce large quantities of greenhouse gases when in operation, so one way for an agent to reduce her individual greenhouse gas emissions is by reducing the extent to which she flies. Some groups have encouraged agents to give up on flying for life by committing to a “travel pledge”. …”

Novel virtual satellite formation scheme for deterministic transmission by Chuan XU, Mi ZHOU, Guofeng ZHAO, Zhaojing CUI, Xiongwen HE

“…Although satellite formation flying could effectively support deterministic transmission due to its stable formation, but its formation control required significant real-time computational overhead and did not support flexible deployment for multi-missions.Thus, based on the extensively deployed low-earth orbit (LEO) constellations, a virtual satellite formation scheme was proposed, which achieved deterministic transmission of time-sensitive mission by selecting appropriate satellites to form a formation.Firstly, the concept of virtual satellite formation was elaborated, and the challenges and performance requirements of virtual satellite formation based on LEO constellations were analyzed.Then, by characterizing the survival time and distance variation rate of inter satellite links (ISL), formation node selection mode was constructed, and a virtual satellite formation selection algorithm was designed to meet the requirements of time-sensitive missions.Finally, satellite network scenario was built to verify the proposed scheme by STK and Exata.Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can provide the same performance indicators as satellite formation flying for time-sensitive missions, while offering more flexibility in deployment.…”
