Adults with reading difficulties demonstrate selective impairments in the fine neural tuning for print by Tongjie Zhuang, Yaowen Li, Yufei Tan, Jiuju Wang, Xiuyue Yue, Licheng Xue, Jing Zhao, Jing Zhao

“…Impaired neural tuning for print is well established in dyslexic children. Although many adults also experience reading difficulties, relatively few studies have examined whether such impairments exist in adults, particularly those who read Chinese, which differs markedly in visual and linguistic characteristics from alphabetic scripts.MethodsTo fill this gap, we assessed 20 high-level and 16 low-level adult readers who were the two extremes of the best and poorest readers of a database, which consisted of 308 college students. …”

Environmental Surveillance and Transmission Risk Assessments for SARS-CoV-2 in a Fitness Center by Hongwan Li, Sripriya Nannu Shankar, Chiran T. Witanachchi, John A. Lednicky, Julia C. Loeb, Md. Mahbubul Alam, Z. Hugh Fan, Karim Mohamed, Arantzazu Eiguren-Fernandez, Chang-Yu Wu

“…A simplified infection risk model based on the Wells-Riley equation predicts that the probability of infection in this fitness center was 1.77% following its ventilation system upgrades based on CDC guidelines, and that risk was further reduced to 0.89% when patrons used face masks. Our model also predicts that a combination of high ventilation, minimal air recirculation, air filtration, and UV sterilization of recirculated air reduced the infection risk up to 94% compared to poorly ventilated facilities. …”
