Diabetes and Hypertension: Is There a Common Metabolic Pathway?
Diabetes and hypertension frequently occur together. There is substantial overlap between diabetes and hypertension in etiology and disease mechanisms. Obesity, inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance are thought to be the common pathways. Recent advances in the understanding of these pathways have provided new insights and perspectives. Physical activity plays an important protective role in the two diseases. Knowing the common causes and disease mechanisms allows a more effective and proactive approach in their prevention and treatment
Well-posedness of the Viscous Boussinesq System in Besov Spaces of Negative Order Near Index
This paper is concerned with well-posedness of the Boussinesq system. We
prove that the () dimensional Boussinesq system is well-psoed for
small initial data () either in

if
, and , where
(, , )
is the logarithmically modified Besov space to the standard Besov space
. We also prove that this system is well-posed for small initial
data in

On the Classical Algebra
We consider the classical \w42 algebra from the integrable system viewpoint.
The integrable evolution equations associated with the \w42 algebra are
constructed and the Miura maps , consequently modifications, are presented.
Modifying the Miura maps, we give a free field realization the classical \w42
algebra. We also construct the Toda type integrable systems for it.Comment: 14 pages, latex, no figure
On determination of the geometric cosmological constant from the OPERA experiment of superluminal neutrinos
The recent OPERA experiment of superluminal neutrinos has deep consequences
in cosmology. In cosmology a fundamental constant is the cosmological constant.
From observations one can estimate the effective cosmological constant
which is the sum of the quantum zero point energy
and the geometric cosmological constant . The
OPERA experiment can be applied to determine the geometric cosmological
constant . It is the first time to distinguish the contributions of
and from each other by experiment. The
determination is based on an explanation of the OPERA experiment in the
framework of Special Relativity with de Sitter space-time symmetry.Comment: 7 pages, no figure
Verification of Hierarchical Artifact Systems
Data-driven workflows, of which IBM's Business Artifacts are a prime
exponent, have been successfully deployed in practice, adopted in industrial
standards, and have spawned a rich body of research in academia, focused
primarily on static analysis. The present work represents a significant advance
on the problem of artifact verification, by considering a much richer and more
realistic model than in previous work, incorporating core elements of IBM's
successful Guard-Stage-Milestone model. In particular, the model features task
hierarchy, concurrency, and richer artifact data. It also allows database key
and foreign key dependencies, as well as arithmetic constraints. The results
show decidability of verification and establish its complexity, making use of
novel techniques including a hierarchy of Vector Addition Systems and a variant
of quantifier elimination tailored to our context.Comment: Full version of the accepted PODS pape
