Sleep quality and renal function among Chinese incoming college freshmen: the mediating role of lifestyle behaviors by Huiying Wang, Jiali Li, Yaohui Han, Shilei Zhai, Yumeng Liu, Peipu Shen, Guifang Shen, Lishun Xiao

“…SEM revealed that sleep quality could affect renal function (represented by creatinine and urea) though the independent mediating effect of daily screen time and the chain mediating effect of caffeinated beverage intake and daily screen time.ConclusionThese findings suggest that promoting healthy sleep, limiting screen exposure, and reducing caffeine consumption may help protect renal health in incoming college freshmen.…”

Contrasting prenatal nutrition and environmental exposures in association with birth weight and cognitive function in children at 7 years by Alicja Wolk, Chris Gennings, Christian Lindh, Niclas Håkansson, Carl-Gustaf Bornehag

“…This makes it possible to test for the potential mitigating effects of good nutrition on health and development effects in offspring from EDCs.Results Using prenatal Food Frequency Questionnaire data to construct an individual’s MNI, the index was significantly and positively associated with important metabolic outcome (as measured by birth weight) and cognitive function at age 7 years (as measured by WISC IQ) in children when adjusted for covariates and prenatal concentrations of an EDC. …”

Terminal power control method of power line carrier communication network based on adaptive hash function by Hong XUE, Jiahan WANG, Yuling SUN, Bo HAN, Yubai XIAO

“…In the control of network terminal power, due to the overall low analysis of network state, the adaptive regulation ability of communication network terminal power is poor.Therefore, the power line carrier communication network terminal power control method based on adaptive hash function was proposed.Considering the dynamic fluctuation of the actual operating state of the power line carrier communication network, the adaptive mechanism was set for the hash function, and the adaptive hash function was constructed for the original running state data, and the final hash value was obtained in the variable chaotic mapping system.In the power control stage of the power line carrier communication network terminal, the communication network terminal was affected by the interference of other communication network terminals, and it was used as the input value of the adaptive hash function to realize the power control of each communication network terminal.In the test results, the proposed control method not only effectively reduces the increase range of network terminal power under constant communication conditions, but also effectively reduces the network terminal power output under dynamic communication conditions, which has a high adaptive adjustment ability.…”
