β-glucan (BG) and mulberry have received increasing attention for their benefits as natural sources of metabolic health. In the current study, we investigated the synergetic beneficial effects of BG and mulberry leaf extract (MLE) in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Male C57BL6 mice were fed a HFD for twelve weeks to induce significant obesity and insulin resistance. BG and MLE were administrate...

Cooperators forgo their own interests to benefit others. This reduces their fitness and thus cooperators are not likely to spread based on natural selection. Nonetheless, cooperation is widespread on every level of biological organization ranging from bacterial communities to human society. Mathematical models can help to explain under which circumstances cooperation evolves. Evolutionary game ...

Under UV-visible light irradiation, multiple synergetic promotion effects on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 by gold deposition can be observed, and plasmonic Au/TiO2 shows great potential for photocatalytic solar conversion.

The introduction of oxygen in electrochemical oxidation at relatively high temperature and pressure as a promoter resulting in synergetic effects, greatly improves the mineralization of high-concentrated organic pollutants.

This paper develops and empirically validates customer shopping motives taking account of customer channel selection in multichannel systems. As each channel is associated with certain advantages and disadvantages from a customer’s perspective, we develop – based on behavioral considerations – a customer typology to classify different segments of customers. This enables us to empirically analyz...

this paper presents a novel indirect adaptive power system stabilizer (pss) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. the synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

The synergetic effects of dietary obesity and stress induced by electrical shocks on insulin secretion from the perfused pancreas, the action of insulin on adipose tissues and glucose tolerance were studied in rats. The rat was fed either a control (C) (50% starch) or a high fat diet (F) (40% butter) for a period of 12 weeks. Half of the rats on each diet received electrical shocks, one hour pe...

— The theory of synergetic control is introduced in a power electronics context in a previous paper. In this paper we review the theory, then we focus on a comparison with the sliding mode approach. Common elements and main differences are underlined and illustrated through a comparative simulation example. The main advantages of synergetic control are that it is well-suited for digital impleme...
