The hypothalamus as the central regulator of energy balance and its impact on current and future obesity treatments by Bruna Bombassaro, Eliana P. Araujo, Licio A. Velloso

“…This has contributed to the characterization of the mechanisms by which glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists promote body mass reduction and has opened new windows of opportunity for the development of drugs to treat obesity. This review presents an overview of the mechanisms involved in the hypothalamic regulation of energy balance and discusses how advancements in this field are contributing to the development of new pharmacological strategies to treat obesity.…”

Prediction of Small-Strain Dynamic Properties on Granulated Spherical Glass Bead-Polyurethane Mixtures by Gyeong-o Kang, Woong Choi, Changho Lee

“…This paper aims to propose predictive equations for the small-strain shear modulus (Gmax) and small-strain damping ratio (Dmin) of a granulated mixture with plastic and nonplastic materials to reduce the dynamic energy of the ground. Polyurethane bead (PB) and glass bead (GB) were used as the plastic and nonplastic materials, respectively. 180 resonant-column tests were conducted with various conditions affecting the dynamic properties, such as nonplastic particle content (PC), void ratio (e), particle-size ratio (sr), and mean effective confining pressure (σm′). …”
