This paper proposes an Integrated Obesity Index (IOI) based on height, weight, waist, and hip, physical indexes that can be accessed through regular physical examinations, on top of common obesity standards, including Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist‐Hip Ratio (WHR), and Body Fat Percentage (BFP). Integrated Obesity Index is aimed to be feasible and convenient under application, as well as comprehensive, compensating for the limitations of existing classifications of obesity. Thus, this paper proposes and examines the application formula of the IOI by establishing geometric models. Adopting the data from epidemiological survey, this papers brings physical indicators, gender, BFP and other variables into the model for data analysis, applies linear regression on the resulting images, and obtains the IOI cut‐off point. By conducting comprehensive data analyses to various obesity classifications, the paper demonstrates that the IOI has significant advantages over BMI, WHP, or BFP and will compensate for the deficiencies of the existing obesity classifications to a certain extent in application.

We show that the dynamics of automorphisms on all projective complex manifolds X (of dimension 3, or of any dimension but assuming the Good Minimal Model Program or Mori’s Program) are canonically built up from the dynamics on just three types of projective complex manifolds: complex tori, weak Calabi-Yau manifolds and rationally connected manifolds. As a by-product, we confirm the conjecture of Guedj [20] for automorphisms on 3-dimensional projective manifolds, and also determine π1(X).

This paper extends our earlier results to higher dimensions using a different approach, based on the rigidity of complex structures on certain domains. We prove a “low energy” result in all dimensions, in the sense that if normalized energy in a large ball is small enough, then the normalized energy in any interior ball must also be small.

In this paper we present an {\em a priori} error estimate of the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method for solving symmetrizable conservation laws, where the time is discretized with the third order explicit total variation diminishing Runge-Kutta method and the finite element space is made up of piecewise polynomials of degree $k\geq 2$. Quasi-optimal error estimate is obtained by energy techniques, for the so-called generalized E-fluxes under the standard temporal-spatial CFL condition $\tau\leq\gamma h$, where $h$ is the element length and $\tau$ is time step, and $\gamma$ is a positive constant independent of $h$ and $\tau$. Optimal estimates are also considered when the upwind numerical flux is used.
