To describe traveler’s risk-taking behaviors under uncertainty, the cumulative prospect theory(CPT) is adopted. Travelers are assumed to choose the paths with the minimum perceived generalized path costs, consisting of time prospect value(PV) and monetary cost. At equilibrium with a given TCS, the endogenous reference points and credit price remain constant, and are consistent with the equilibrium flow pattern and the corresponding travel time distributions of road sub-network. To describe such an equilibrium state, the CPT-based stochastic user equilibrium(SUE) conditions can be formulated under TCS. An equivalent variational inequality(VI) model embedding a parameterized fixed point(FP) model is then established, with its properties analyzed theoretically. A heuristic solution algorithm is developed to solve the model, which contains two-layer iterations. The outer iteration is a bisection-based contraction method to find the equilibrium credit price, and the inner iteration is essentially the method of successive averages(MSA) to determine the corresponding CPT-based SUE network flow pattern. Numerical experiments are provided to validate the model and algorithm.展开更多

Circulating leptin binds to leptin receptor, activates STAT3-dependent and STAT3-independent signaling pathways, and plays an effective role in energy home- ostasis, neuroendocrine function and metabolism mainly through acting on the central nervous system, especially the hypothalamus. Leptin resistance is considered as a key risk factor for obesity. Various mechanisms have been formu- lated in order to explain leptin resistance, including impairment in leptin transport, attenuation in leptin sig- naling, ER stress, inflammation and deficiency in autop- hagy. Here, we review our current knowledge about leptin action, leptin signaling and leptin resistance, hoping to provide new ideas for the battle against obesity.展开更多
