It is very Boxers difficult and expensive to replace sensor node battery in wireless sensor network in many critical conditions such as bridge supervising, resource exploration in hostile locations, and wildlife safety, etc.The natural choice in such situations is to maximize network lifetime.One such approach is to divide the sensing area of wirel
Abundance, production, and migrations of nesting green turtles at Rose Atoll, American Samoa, a regionally important rookery in the Central South Pacific Ocean
Sea turtles are a taxon of conservation concern and are highly migratory, exposing them to a variety of threats (e.g., fisheries bycatch, direct harvest) across their lifetime.Understanding the abundance of nesting females, Air Bags hatchling production, and migratory movements - three of the most basic biological data needs for this species group
Merging the Spectral Theories of Distance Estrada and Distance Signless Laplacian Estrada Indices of Graphs
Suppose that G is a simple undirected connected graph.Denote by D ( G ) the distance matrix of G and by T r ( G ) the diagonal matrix of the vertex transmissions in G, and let α ∈ [ 0 , 1 ].The generalized distance matrix D α ( G ) is defined as D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where 0 ≤ α
Effects of Exercise Training and IL-6 Receptor Blockade on Gastric Emptying and GLP-1 Secretion in Obese Humans: Secondary Analyses From a Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial
BackgroundInterleukin-6 (IL-6) is released from skeletal muscle during exercise and systemic IL-6 levels therefore increase acutely in response to a single bout of exercise.We recently showed that an acute increase in IL-6 delayed gastric emptying rate and improved postprandial glycemia.Here we investigate whether repeated increases in IL-6, induce
