Metabolically Efficient Codes in The Retina

Comparison of Components of Metabolic Syndrome among Metabolically Obese Normal Weight, Metabolically Benign Normal Weight, and Metabolically Abnormal Obese Iranian Children and Adolescents in Ahvaz

Background: Metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (BMI) lower than +1SD with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. This study wants to determineprevalence of MONW, metabolically benign normal weight (MBNW), metabolically abnormality obese (MAO) and comparethe components of metabolic ...

An efficient secure channel coding scheme based on polar codes

In this paper, we propose a new framework for joint encryption encoding scheme based on polar codes, namely efficient and secure joint secret key encryption channel coding scheme. The issue of using new coding structure, i.e. polar codes in Rao-Nam (RN) like schemes is addressed. Cryptanalysis methods show that the proposed scheme has an acceptable level of security with a relatively smaller ke...

The metabolome profiling of obese and non-obese individuals: Metabolically healthy obese and unhealthy non-obese paradox

Objective(s): The molecular basis of “metabolically healthy obese” and “metabolically unhealthy non-obese” phenotypes is not fully understood. Our objective was to identify metabolite patterns differing in obese (metabolically healthy vs unhealthy (MHO vs MUHO)) and non-obese (metabolically healthy vs unhealthy (MHNO vs MUHNO)) individuals. Materials ...

In Search of the Best Candidate for Detection of Metabolically Obese Normal-Weight Phenotype

Energy as a constraint on the coding and processing of sensory information.

Neurons use significant amounts of energy to generate signals. Recent studies of retina and brain connect this energy usage to the ability to transmit information. The identification of energy-efficient neural circuits and codes suggests new ways of understanding the function, design and evolution of nervous systems.
