Sitting Time and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in African American Overweight Women by Rebecca E. Lee, Scherezade K. Mama, Ygnacio Lopez III

“…A subsample of African American women (N=135) completed health and laboratory assessments, including measures of blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, body mass index, body fat, sitting time, and demographics. Simultaneous, adjusted regression models found a positive association between weekend sitting time and glucose and an inverse association between weekly sedentary time and cholesterol (ps<.05). …”

Algorithm for the cloud service workflow scheduling with setup time and deadline constraints by Hong SHEN, Xiao-ping LI

“…Cost minimization with deadline constraints and setup time is a new resource allocation optimization problem in cloud computing.An integer programming model is constructed for this NP-hard problem.A novel probability model and updating mechanism is suggested for sampling the solution space.A heuristic method is investigated for generating good initial population.A hybrid estimation of distribution algorithm (HEDA) is proposed for the considered problem.The global best solution is adopted to balance the diversification and intensification of HEDA.Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective to optimize the workflow running cost within reasonable CPU time.…”
