High Activity Staves Off Pounds, Especially for Women

Gout Increases Diabetes Risk, Especially Among Women

People who have gout may contend with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and women seem more vulnerable than men, according to a large population-based study. The researchers at Harvard Medical School analyzed data from gout patients, and from those without the disease, in the United Kingdom's Health Improvement Network (THIN) database. They found a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes among ...

Tight Pounds on Oblivious Chaining

The chaining problem is deened as follows. = maxfj j a j = 1; j < ig. (Deene maxfg = 0) The chaining problem appears as a subproblem in many contexts. There are algorithms known that solve the chaining problem on CRCW PRAMs in O((n)) time, where (n) is the inverse of Ackerman's function, and is a very slowly growing function. We study a class of algorithms (called oblivious algorithms) for this...

Optimal High Frequency Cut-off in SWAN Wave Model

This study investigates the importance of selecting an appropriate cut-off frequency in the SWAN model when it is applied to areas with limited fetches. In SWAN, the cut-off frequency is a constant value set by user in the model, and its appropriate selection plays an important role in the accuracy and optimization of the wave model; very high value increases the computational cost and might le...

STAVES: Speedy Tensor-Aided Volterra-Based Electronic Simulator

Volterra series is a powerful tool for blackbox macromodeling of nonlinear devices. However, the exponential complexity growth in storing and evaluating higher order Volterra kernels has limited so far its employment on complex practical applications. On the other hand, tensors are a higher order generalization of matrices that can naturally and efficiently capture multidimensional data. Signif...
