OBESITY AND CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Obesity and chronic kidney disease

Obesity and overweight are now characterized as epidemics.It is shown that body overweight is associated with functional and structural changes in the kidneys.The results of epidemiological studies indicate that obesity can be the risk factor of chronic kidney disease (CKD) irrespective of the presence Metal Table Lamp (1/CN) or absence of diabetes

Generalized Additive Modeling of Building Inertia Thermal Energy Storage for Integration Into Smart Grid Control

The structural mass of a building provides inherent thermal storage capability.Through sector coupling, the building mass can provide additional flexibility to the electric power system, using, for instance, combined heat and power plants or power-to-heat.In this work, a mathematical model of building inertia thermal energy storage (BITES) for inte
