Introduction Differences in metabolic homeostasis, diabetes, and obesity between males and females are evident in rodents and humans. Vagal sensory neurons in the vagus nerve ganglia innervate a variety of visceral organs and use specialized nerve endings to sense interoceptive signals. This visceral organ-brain axis plays a role in relaying intero...

We investigate the question discussed in the literature as to whether the magnetic field can perform work using two models that describe interacting magnetic dipoles. In the first model, the dipoles are realized by rigidly rotating charge clouds, whereas in the second model, one of the two dipoles is described by a real macroscopic spin density. Th...

Hypothalamic obesity (HO) is a rare and complex disorder that confers substantial morbidity and excess mortality. HO is a unique subtype of obesity characterized by impairment in the key brain pathways that regulate energy intake and expenditure, autonomic nervous system function, and peripheral hormonal signalling. HO often occurs in the context o...
[graphicalabstract] Addressing key challenges in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) such as network lifetime, and energy balance, this paper introduces the Semi-Decentralized Prediction Method (SDPM) for energy-efficient wireless sensor networks. This approach enhances energy efficiency by combining clustering principles with data prediction for smart...

Introduction Energy imbalance gap (EIG) is defined as the average daily difference between energy intake (EI) and energy expenditure (EE). This study aimed to examine the associations between EIG and sociodemographic and anthropometric variables in the adolescent population of eight Latin America countries. Methods A total of 680 adolescents aged 1...

Cancer immunotherapies emerge as promising strategies for restricting tumour growth. The tumour microenvironment (TME) has a major impact on the anti-tumour immune response and on the efficacy of the immunotherapies. Recent studies have linked changes in the ambient temperature with particular immuno-metabolic reprogramming and anti-cancer immune r...

In this study, the authors present a theoretical analysis and experimentally verified methods to improve the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) of ships. The improvements were studied via the application of an innovative solution of a thruster supplied by a hybrid power system on board a passenger-car ferry. The authors performed sea trials of a...
Diplomová práce se zaměřuje na stavební úpravy zemědělské usedlosti z 19. století. Objekt nebyl využíván. Po provedení stavebních úprav bude fungovat jako eko farma. Sloužit bude k rodinnému bydlení majitele objektu, ubytování a výrobu mléčných výrobků. Ke stávající zachovávané části bude provedena přístavba na bázi dřeva. Ve stávající části objekt...

This paper presents the energy balance of 602 pulses from four different experimental campaigns for the WEST tokamak. Different magnetic configurations have been studied, with lower single null (LSN) and upper single null (USN) configuration with deuterium or helium plasmas. The energy balance is closed with an imbalance of about 5% of the total in...

In order to achieve the Paris climate targets, the German government has developed phased plans and anchored these in an amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). This not only defines expansion targets for renewable energy producers, but also the additional amounts of energy that must be available in the electricity grid in future if it...
