The Langevin dynamics of a random heteropolymer and its dynamic glass transition are studied using elementary mode coupling theory. Contrary to recent reports using a similar framework, a discontinuous ergodic-nonergodic phase transition is predicted for all Rouse modes at a finite temperature TA. For sufficiently long chains, TA is almost independent of chain length and is in good agreement wi...

Peptidergic signaling regulates cardiac contractility; thus, identifying molecular switches, ligand-receptor contacts, and antagonists aids in exploring the underlying mechanisms to influence health. Myosuppressin (MS), a decapeptide, diminishes cardiac contractility and gut motility. Myosuppressin binds to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) proteins. Two Drosophila melanogaster myosuppressin re...

Planning of reactive power sources is a serious issue for secure and economic operation of power systems. In this paper, a bi-level strategy is proposed to optimize the Reactive Power Planning (RPP) problem. In the first level, the weakest buses are selected to be the optimal placements to install the additional VAR sources and its corresponding suitable sizes are determined using a proposed Re...

INTRODUCTION Antipsychotic medication is widely associated with dysmetabolism including obesity and type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular-related diseases and early death. Obesity is considered the single most important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Interventions against antipsychotic-associated obesity are limited and insufficient. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor a...

We develop a model to describe the development of dominance relations between social animals as they use past experiences to inform future interactions. Using the gametheoretic framework of a Hawk-Dove game with asymmetric resource-holding potentials (RHPs), we derive a simple model that describes the social interactions of animals that compete for resources. We then consider a game-playing str...

The objective of this trial was to assess the long-term effect of the CHANGE lifestyle coaching intervention for 428 people with abdominal obesity and schizophrenia spectrum disorders on cardiovascular risk. In this randomized, superiority, multi-center clinical trial, participants were randomized to 12 months of either lifestyle coaching plus care coordination (N = 138), care coordination alon...

This paper considers systems whose transfer functions take the form of a strictly proper rational function times a delay. A closed form expression is presented for the controller which is optimally robust with respect to perturbations measured in the gap metric. The formula allows the H 1 loop-shaping procedure of Glover-McFarlane to be carried out explicitly for this class of systems without t...
