The Association of Pension Income with the Incidence of Type I Obesity among Retired Israelis by Yuval Arbel, Chaim Fialkoff, Amichai Kerner

“…Results of our study demonstrate that while for the female respondents older than 67, the projected probability of type I obesity (BMI ≥ 30) drops by 0.41% (p=0.0021) to 0.52% (p=0.0001) with an incremental 10,000 NIS (about $2,500) rise of gross annual income from a pension, for the male respondents above 67 years, the projected probability remains unchanged (p=0.4225). …”

Cooperative secure transmission against collusive eavesdroppers in Internet of Things by Xin Fan, Yan Huo

“…To explore the theoretical security performance of our strategy, we perform a secrecy outage probability analysis and an asymptotic analysis. In the cases of cooperative jamming and without cooperative jamming, the closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability are deduced, and the influence of system parameters on the secrecy outage probability becomes more intuitive through a strict mathematical asymptotic behavior analysis. …”

Activity-based routing algorithm in opportunistic mobile social networks by Sheng Zhang, Houzhong Liu, Caisen Chen, Zhaojun Shi, William Wei Song

“…If the source node and the destination node are both attend in the same activities, we select the best relay node which has the biggest delivery probability. While the source node and the destination node are not in the same activities at the same time, we need to find the optimal path which owns highest indirect delivery probability, and messages will be transmitted through the optimal path. …”
