    Abstract: Applications of different configurations of novel glucagon peptide 1 with fatty acid modification or nonmodification in the treatment of T2D or the pancreas protection are provided. The dimer of the present disclosure is formed by two identical cysteine-containing GLP-1 monomers through a disulfide bond. The H-like GLP-1 homodimer (disulfide bond is inside chains) showed remarkable increase in hypoglycemic duration without reducing specific activity. The GLP-1 dimer provided has an in-vivo effective duration of up to 19 days, which significantly prolonged compared with that of the positive control drug Liraglutide with 3 days of effective duration, or thereby greatly promoting the technical advancement in long-acting GLP-1 drugs and facilitating their clinical applications and business.

    Abstract: A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk comprising a plurality of servo tracks, wherein each servo track comprises a plurality of servo sectors, and an actuator for actuating a head over the disk in response to an actuator control signal. The servo sectors are read to generate a first sequence of control samples x[k] at a sample frequency corresponding to a frequency of the servo sectors. A hybrid upsample filter is used to upsample by a factor of N the first sequence of control samples x[k] to generate a second sequence of control samples y[ki], wherein the hybrid upsample filter provides a higher phase gain than a zero-order type upsample filter at frequencies less than one kilohertz, and approximately the same attenuation as a first-order type upsample filter around the sample frequency. The actuator control signal is generated in response to the second sequence of control samples y[ki].
