Predictors of weight loss in overweight Singaporean males in the Singapore Adult Metabolism Study (SAMS). by Tay, Yu Juan.

“…The intervention comprised of diet modification through meal replacements, group and individual nutritional education and counselling sessions, as well as prescribed and supervised exercise regime. After intervention, there was a significant reduction in mean body weight (-7.95 ± 3.45 kg), Skinfold fat composition (-3.24 ± 3.357 %) and DEXA fat composition (-2.93 ± 2.93 %). …”

The radial spreading of volcanic umbrella clouds deduced from satellite measurements by Prata, F, Prata, A, Tanner, R, Grainger, RG, Borgas, M, Aubry, TJ

“…At the onset of neutral buoyancy, the radial spreading is better explained by a stronger dependence on time of A ⇠ C, rather than C 2/3, C 3/4 or C 2/9. This flow regime exists on the order of minutes and has not been observed previously in satellite data. …”

Statistical theory of the broadband two-plasmon decay instability by Rusko, RT, Bingham, R, Silva, LO, Harper, M, Aboushelbaya, R, Myatt, JF, Norreys, PA

“…The intermediate bandwidth regime is explored numerically – the growth rate is reduced to half its monochromatic value for laser intensities of 1015 W/cm2 and relatively modest bandwidths of 5 THz. …”

Electricity sector deregulation and consumer protection: assessing the imperatives of a competition: Assessing the imperatives of a competition law and competition regulatory autho... by Usman, Dahiru Jafaru, Yaacob, Nurli, A. Rahman, Aspalella

“…Literature abounds on the high risk of the electricity sector deregulation and the susceptibility of the deregulated electricity markets to manipulations and abuse by the electricity service providers.For better and fair market operations and the protection of consumers’ interest, the paper adopts the doctrinal research approach and assesses the imperatives of competition law and competition structures in the deregulated Nigerian electricity market.The paper found that the Nigerian experiment took off without the necessary consumer protection structures such as a competition law and competition regulatory agency leaving the electricity consumers at the mercy of the electricity service providers.The paper concludes that the country urgently needs a comprehensive competition regime to guarantee consumer benefits and to prevent substituting public monopoly with a private monopoly in the new Nigerian electricity market.…”

Synthesis and degradation of FtsZ quantitatively predict the first cell division in starved bacteria by Sekar, Karthik, Rusconi, Roberto, Sauls, John T., Fuhrer, Tobias, Noor, Elad, Nguyen, Jen, Fernandez, Vicente I., Buffing, Marieke F., Berney, Michael, Jun, Suckjoon, Stocker, Roman, Sauer, Uwe

“…Current models are phenomenological and specific to nutrient‐rich, exponentially growing cells, thus cannot predict the first division under limiting nutrient availability. To assess this regime, we supplied starving Escherichia coli with glucose pulses at increasing frequencies. …”

Missing links in The China Model by Li, Chenyang

“…We should not take this book as an apologetics for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) even though it offers both positive and negative assessments of the Chinese communist regime, as any fair-minded work should. There is a tendency among scholars to avoid discussing certain topics in order not to be perceived as politically motivated to help governments with a less than commendable reputation. …”
