Obesity and Inflammation: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Markers of Inflammation by Heriberto Rodríguez-Hernández, Luis E. Simental-Mendía, Gabriela Rodríguez-Ramírez, Miguel A. Reyes-Romero

“…Thus, it is an economic issue that increased the costs of the comorbidities associated. Moreover, in recent years, it has been demonstrated that obesity is associated with chronic systemic inflammation, this status is conditioned by the innate immune system activation in adipose tissue that promotes an increase in the production and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to the triggering of the systemic acute-phase response which is characterized by elevation of acute-phase protein levels. …”

The Burden of the Broken Grid: Modelling power-sector reliability to support low carbon development in Nigeria by Sarah Golobish, Rudolf Yeganyan, Naomi Tan, Carla Cannone, Mark Howells

“…Modelling which includes reliability improvements nearly halves total system costs and emissions versus business-as-usual. Further, Nigeria is unable to meet its 2021 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) without such improvements, indicating that increasing plant availability and reducing diesel generator use must be prioritized in policy to support national implementation of these targets.…”

An Environmental-Economic Dispatch Method for Smart Microgrids Using VSS_QGA by Wenxia Liu, Yuying Zhang, Bo Zeng, Shuya Niu, Jianhua Zhang, Yong Xiao

“…In this paper, a comprehensive environmental-economic dispatch method for smart microgrids is proposed, with the objective for minimizing the summation of generation and emission costs in the system. As the proposed model belongs to a large-scale nonlinear and nonconvex programming problem, a hybrid heuristic algorithm, named variable step-size chaotic fuzzy quantum genetic algorithm (VSS_QGA), is developed. …”
