The intersectionality between diabetes medications and nicotine consumption was assessed in female and male rats.Briefly, the rats were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or regular diet (RD) for 4 weeks.Then separate groups received vehicle or a low dose of streptozotocin (STZ; 25 mg/kg).Three days later, insulin resistance was assessed by measuring plasma

This paper presents a reduced-complexity deterministic annealing (DA) approach for vector quantizer (VQ) design by using soft information processing with simplified assignment measures.Low-complexity distributions are designed to mimic the Gibbs distribution, where the latter is the optimal distribution used in the standard DA method.These low-comp
The study examined four scenarios for reduction of environmental impacts with use of 100 % purchased electricity in all processing activities as first scenario while second scenario was the use of 100 % electricity from Panini Grills / Sandwich Presses diesel generators.Third and fourth scenarios were to use 50 % each of both purchased electricity
