Therapeutic effects of Cosmos caudatus kunth leaf extract in the prevention and treament of obesity in sprague dawley rats by Abdul Rahman, Hafeedza

“…The extract also increased the fecal excretion of fat in rats (96.9±10.5 - 114.6±9.3 mg/g in preventive study and 87.7±10.0 - 124.6±20.2 mg/g in treatment study) when compared to that of control HFD groups (55.4±6.6 - 58.2±2.6 mg/g) respectively, suggesting that C. caudatus reduces the progression of obesity by inhibiting pancreatic lipase, leading to malabsorption of fat,validating the in-vitro results obtained in first part of the study. …”

Grid integration and coordinated control of voltage source inverters with energy storage systems by Qi, Yang

“…Due to the proliferation of nonlinear loads, considerable harmonic currents are injected into the microgrid, leading to severe power quality issues. In view of this challenge, it is expected that DESSs can cooperatively share the harmonic currents and contribute to the total harmonic distortion (THD) reduction of the point of common coupling (PCC) voltage. …”

Interface engineering for organic−inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells by Foo, Shini

“…It is hypothesized that the HBP molecules passivate the under−coordinated lead (Pb2+) defects accumulated at the interface by promoting favourable Lewis acid-base adduct formation. …”

Clustering-based solutions for energy efficiency, adaptability and resilience in IoT networks by Shivaraman, Nitin

“…Owing to their low- cost nature and susceptibility to damage, tampering or battery exhaustion, some devices may become faulty leading to unexpected behavior. IoT networks need to remain functional and resilient even with the presence of such faulty devices. …”

Exploiting LoRaWAN for efficient and resilient IoT networks by Gu, Chaojie

“…The physical coupling of the two planes may lead to undesirable consequences. For example, when a node loses connections with its neighbors, the controller cannot reach the node anymore. …”

Development of resistive random access memory for next-generation embedded non-volatile memory application by Sun, Jianxun

“…It is also found that the conventional way of doing MLC operation by varying one parameter while fixing the other one would lead to the drifting of resistances. Hence, the concept of dynamic boundaries has been proposed after taking the evolution of the filament into account. …”

Hybrid free space optics/radio frequency communication for next generation wireless networks by Sharma, Shubha

“…Attenuation due to fog, misalignment, and pointing errors are other major factors, which can cause FSO link failure. These factors lead to the variation in laser beam strength at the receiver that affects the link range and the system reliability. …”

A study of atmospheric gradient for the analysis of weather events and prediction of rainfall in the tropical region by Naha Biswas, Anik

“…The atmospheric gradient in the surrounding region converges at the location of precipitation which is also an indication of atmospheric convergence leading to a vertical updraft of warm air. The gradient magnitude exhibits negligible shift in values between rainy and non-rainy hours while forecasting precipitation over a region. …”

Evolutionary explanations and the debunking of moral beliefs by Cofnas, N

“…Power in Cultural Evolution and the Spread of Prosocial Norms</b></p> <p>According to cultural evolutionary theory in the tradition of Boyd and Richerson, cultural evolution is driven by individuals' learning biases, natural selection, and random forces. Learning biases lead people to preferentially acquire cultural variants with certain contents or in certain contexts. …”

Differences in the effectiveness of individual-level smoking cessation interventions by socioeconomic status by Theodoulou, A, Fanshawe, TR, Leavens, E, Theodoulou, E, Wu, AD, Heath, L, Stewart, C, Nollen, N, Ahluwalia, JS, Butler, AR, Hajizadeh, A, Thomas, J, Lindson, N, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…<p><b>Background</b></p> People from lower socioeconomic groups are more likely to smoke and less likely to succeed in achieving abstinence, making tobacco smoking a leading driver of health inequalities. Contextual factors affecting subpopulations may moderate the efficacy of individual‐level smoking cessation interventions. …”

Electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation by Lindson, N, Butler, AR, McRobbie, H, Bullen, C, Hajek, P, Wu, AD, Begh, R, Theodoulou, A, Notley, C, Rigotti, NA, Turner, T, Livingstone-Banks, J, Morris, T, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…In absolute terms, this might lead to an additional three quitters per 100 (95% CI 1 to 7 more). …”

Growth performances, carcass yield and meat quality of free range village chickens fed on diet containing dehydrated processed food waste by Shanaghi, Hossein

“…Consequently, the inclusion of more than 20% DPFW, had a major influence on the fatty acid composition of chicken meat, leading to a significant decrease in most PUFA, increase saturated fatty acid (SFA) content of chicken meat and n-6/n-3 ratio. …”
