User Archetypes of a Well-Being–Promoting Mobile App Among Adults: Cross-Sectional Study and Cluster Analysis of Usage Patterns by Hanna Rekola, Tommi Tolmunen, Elina Mattila, Juho Strömmer, Timo A Lakka, Helena Länsimies, Tomi Mäki-Opas

“…ResultsA total of 1646 eligible individuals responded to the questionnaire, and 863 initiated app use. Lower odds of initiating app use were detected among males (odds ratio [OR] 0.66, 95% CI 0.51‐0.85; PPPP=PPPPPP ConclusionsWhile lower general life satisfaction and less favorable health behavior appeared to increase the likelihood of trying the app, those who eventually actively used the app were more satisfied with their lives at baseline. …”

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE PLANE STRAIN DYNAMIC FRACTURE TOUGHNESS OF 20CRMNTI BASED ON IMPROVED HPB PLATFORM by SONG Kun, ZHANG XiaoDi, DING Jun, HUANG Xia, HE XiaoJin, WANG JiaBin, WANG LuSheng

“…To obtain the dynamic fracture toughness of 20 Cr Mn Ti,an impact loading test was conducted on three-point bending specimens with the improved Hopkinson pressure bar.Dynamic stress intensity factor was determined by the spring mass model.The onset time of crack initiation is experimentally detected using the strain gauge method.Dynamic fracture toughness of20 Cr Mn Ti with type I crack was obtained through the above experimental procedure.The geometrical dispersion distortion caused by lateral inertia effect is effectively inhibited by the wave shaping technique,to ensure the consistency of stress wave signal in measuring point and loading point is guaranteed.At the same time,the high-speed camera system was used to collect the image and the change of the surface strain field during the loading process was analyzed with GOM Correlate.The results show that samples before crack initiation has reached the dynamic strain balance,ensure the validity of the experiment.…”

The Set2/Rpd3S pathway suppresses cryptic transcription without regard to gene length or transcription frequency. by Colin R Lickwar, Bhargavi Rao, Andrey A Shabalin, Andrew B Nobel, Brian D Strahl, Jason D Lieb

“…Our conclusions differ with those reported previously because we obtained a higher-resolution dataset, we accounted for the fact that gene length and transcriptional frequency are not independent variables, and we accounted for several ascertainment biases that make cryptic transcription easier to detect in long, infrequently transcribed genes. These new results and conclusions have implications for many commonly used genomic analysis approaches, and for the evolution of high-fidelity RNA polymerase II transcriptional initiation in eukaryotes.…”
