Cinnamon treatment shows promise for glycemic control but may cause adverse effects in some people by Laura del Bosque-Plata, Claudia Gragnoli

“…However, cinnamon can contain high amounts of naturally occurring coumarin, a blood thinner. So, its use as a treatment needs to be balanced with its potential anticoagulant effects.We hypothesize that cinnamon treatment may pose a risk for some patients, depending on the dose and duration of treatment and individual characteristics, including age, sex, and use of other medications.In this short article, we provide an overview and discussion of the published literature, as well as our own experiences in the clinic, which raise potential concerns about the safety of cinnamon treatment. …”

Information transmission mechanism of Blockchain technology based on named-data networking by Jiang LIU, Ru HUO, Chengcheng LI, Guijin ZOU, Tao HUANG, Yunjie LIU

“…Recent researches on blockchain have been greatly concerned by academia and industry,while the communication based on TCP/IP protocol was not enough for broadcasting a large volume of data in blockchain technology.Therefore,a novel node model supporting push service for blockchain technology and a special procedure reading-writing the table of the node model were designed based on the named-data networking,which was a distributed network architecture supporting data transmission naturally.And then the information transmission architecture of blockchain technology via named-data networking was proposed.With the aggregation of the requests and data caching,this architecture could reduce the traffic redundancy and accelerate the communication speed.Meanwhile,a use case of bitcoin based on the proposed architecture was given,in order to better understand the architecture.A numerical simulation was used to verify the performance advantages of the proposed scheme.In addition,some related future research directions were presented.…”

Hydrogeology of the lower sector of Basento and Cavone river basins (southern Italy) by Silvio Coda, Pasquale Allocca, Domenico Calcaterra, Nicola Castello, Delia Cusano, Pantaleone De Vita, Daniele Lepore, Paola Petrone, Giacomo Prosser, Vincenzo Allocca

“…Hydrogeology of the lower sector of the Basento and Cavone river basins (southern Italy), has been little studied so far, although this area plays a strategic role being an agricultural area, for the production of wheat and organic olive oil, and represents a historical economic pole, with the presence of an industrial area and several extraction sites of natural gas. In this paper, starting from official Italian geological maps, a hydrogeological conceptual model and geodatabase were developed through hydrogeological characterization of lithological formations, analysis of topographic cartography and satellite images, as well as an extensive hydrogeological survey. …”
