Hypothalamic AMPK as a Regulator of Energy Homeostasis by My Khanh Q. Huynh, Ann W. Kinyua, Dong Joo Yang, Ki Woo Kim

“…Activated in energy depletion conditions, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) acts as a cellular energy sensor and regulator in both central nervous system and peripheral organs. Hypothalamic AMPK restores energy balance by promoting feeding behavior to increase energy intake, increasing glucose production, and reducing thermogenesis to decrease energy output. …”

Virtual machine scheduling strategy based on dual-speed and work vacation mode and its parameter optimization by Shun-fu JIN, Shan-shan HAO, Bao-shuai WANG

“…Due to the increasingly strict environmental standards,high pollution and high energy consumption have become the significant factors restricting the development of cloud data centers (CDC).Under the premise of guaranteeing the quality of service (QoS) of CDC,dynamic power management (DPM) technology was applied,synchronous multiple working sleep mode was introduced,and a novel virtual machine (VM) scheduling strategy was proposed.By establishing a two-dimensional continuous-time Markov stochastic model with adaptive service rate and synchronous multiple work vacations,and using the method of a matrix geometric solution,the performance of the VM scheduling strategy was evaluated in terms of energy saving level and average delay of requests.Numerical results with analysis and simulation verify the energy saving effectiveness of the VM scheduling strategy.In order to achieve a reasonable balance between the response performance and the energy-saving effect,a system utility function was constructed from the perspective of economics and design a researching algorithm of the sleep parameter based on the firefly algorithm(FA).…”

Le refus du monde tel qu’il est : vertus et ambivalences de quelques fictions contemporaines (Peyrebonne, Haenel, Vasset) by Pascal Mougin

“…Should we believe, with Yves Citton, "in the unpredictable power of the infinitesimal" or on the contrary, with Fredric Jameson, that "the artistic production brandished as utopian model of an alternative social life is itself a closed book" within a globalized economic and cultural system? One must point the ambivalence of these fictions, upbeat and engaging on one side, proxy and desperate or opportunistic and complacent on the other.…”

Short-term traffic flow prediction based on adaptive rank dynamic tensor analysis by Lingchao HE, Dong LIN, Xinxin FENG

“…Short-term traffic flow prediction in intelligent transportation system can provide data support in areas such as route planning,traffic management,public safety and so on.In order to improve the prediction accuracy with missing and abnormal data,a short-term traffic flow prediction method based on the adaptive rank dynamic tensor analysis was proposed.Firstly,a four dimensional tensor consisted of week,day,time and space was constructed,which could excavate the multimodal correlation of traffic flow data.Secondly,tensor flow data with dynamic structure was formed by using sliding window model.The principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was extended to an offline tensor analysis algorithm that could accept tensor input.Then the adaptive rank and the forgetting factor were introduced to generate an adaptive rank dynamic tensor analysis algorithm.Finally,the tensor stream data was inputted into the adaptive rank dynamic tensor analysis algorithm to realize the short-term traffic flow prediction.The experimental results show that a good prediction can be achieved even with data missing.…”
