Metabolism is a chemical process used by cells to transform food-derived nutrients, such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats, into chemical and thermal energy. Whenever an alteration of this process occurs, the chemical balance within the cells is impaired and this can affect their growth and response to the environment, leading to the development of a metabolic disease. Metabolic syndrome, a c...

introduction air pollution is one of the critical challenges in metropolitans around the world. according to world health organization (who), three millions people die from air pollution annually. in some studies mortality costs by air pollution was estimated. social cost of air pollution was estimated 28990 billions rials in tehran city. the mortality cost by air pollution was estimated about ...

We present a summary of experimental tests of Local Position Invariance (LPI) via gravitational red-shift measurement. The results of the Pound-Rebka and Pound-Snider experiments are discussed, as well as those of Gravity-Probe A. A summary of null gravitational red-shift experiments is presented, concluding with the most recently established value of uncertainty in the null red-shift LPI viola...

An evaluation using the liquefaction potential index (LPI) was still applicable to site conditions in Central Sulawesi 2018’s earthquake with Mw 7.5. In some areas, severe occurred and destroyed many buildings. This study conducted determine depth of layer any soil that may cause damage land. is intended obtain guidance select an area for housing, especially low-budget housing. The possibility ...

Publicly available clock correction data from the Global Positioning System was analyzed and used in combination with the results of terrestrial clock comparison experiments to confirm the local position invariance (LPI) of Planck's constant within the context of general relativity. The results indicate that h is invariant within a limit of |β(h)|<0.007, where β(h) is a dimensionless parameter ...

This paper presents a low probability of interception (LPI) radar waveform design method with a fixed average power constraint based on information theory. The Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) between the intercept signal and background noise is presented as a practical metric to evaluate the performance of the adversary intercept receiver in this paper. Through combining it with the radar per...

In this paper, we introduce a novel packet discarding policy called Longest-Packet-In (LPI) which maximizes the cell goodput, the ratio of outgoing good cells to the total number of cells that arrive at a queue. We compare LPI to: Tail Drop, Early Packet Discard, Early Packet Discard with Hysteresis and Fair Early Packet Discard with Hysteresis by investigating the trade-off between maximizing ...
