SMRT: A smart mass ratio technique that outperforms body mass index (BMI) for predicting waist-to-height ratio [PDF]
GMS German Medical ScienceBackground: Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is a superior indicator of central obesity and cardiometabolic risk compared with body mass index (BMI). However, its use in clinical practice is limited because waist circumference is often not measured or may be

Two Contact Binaries with Mass Ratios Close to the Minimum Mass Ratio [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract The cutoff mass ratio is under debate for contact binaries. In this paper, we present the investigation of two contact binaries with mass ratios close to the low mass ratio limit. It is found that the mass ratios of VSX J082700.8+462850 (hereafter J082700) and 1SWASP J132829.37+555246.1 (hereafter J132829) are both less than 0.1
