Vibrational spectra for an extended cosine hyperbolic type potential model by C.A. Onate, Ituen B. Okon, E.S. Eyube, E. Omugbe, E.S. William, A.D. Ahmed, E.P. Inyang

“…The radial Schrödinger equation is solved for an extension of a cosine hyperbolic type potential using the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method to obtain the energy equation and wave function. Using the condition of the diatomic molecular potential function, the screening parameter was calculated to suit the computations for different molecules. …”

Spoken words affect visual object recognition via the modulation of alpha and beta oscillations by Piermatteo Morucci, Piermatteo Morucci, Francesco Giannelli, Francesco Giannelli, Craig G. Richter, Nicola Molinaro, Nicola Molinaro

“…These results suggest that alpha and beta rhythms may play distinct functional roles to support language-mediated visual object recognition: alpha might function to amplify sensory representations in posterior regions, while beta may (re)activate the network states elicited by the auditory cue.…”

Unilateral chewing of foods. Analysis of energy balance and peak power of the mandibular elevator muscles by Przemysław Stróżyk, Jacek Bałchanowski

“…The results indicate that (1) food height and texture significantly affect muscle energy and (2) the masticatory and medial pterygoid muscles generate more incredible energy and peak power on the working side than on the non working side, while the opposite was observed for the temporalis muscle and (3) comparative analysis showed that food position on the dental arch has a more significant effect on muscle peak power for foods with high texture heterogeneity than for foods with low texture heterogeneity.…”

Carbon Footprint Assessment on the Viability of Utilizing Brewer’s Spent Grain to Produce Biochar by Emily Newman, Nitin Nitin, Edward Spang, Glen Fox

“…The study employed a carbon footprint assessment approach to quantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with each disposal method, using one unprocessed kg of BSG as the functional unit. The results indicated that landfilling BSG generated approximately 3 kg CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) per kg of unprocessed BSG, whereas biochar production reduced emissions to 1.18 kg CO₂e per kg of BSG. …”

Perspectives and Experiences With Large Language Models in Health Care: Survey Study by Jennifer Sumner, Yuchen Wang, Si Ying Tan, Emily Hwee Hoon Chew, Alexander Wenjun Yip

“…While 75% (470/624) agreed that the user experience was positive, 46% (294/624) found the generated content unhelpful. Regression analysis showed that the experience with LLMs is more likely to be positive if the user is male (odds ratio [OR] 1.62, CI 1.06-2.48), and increasing age was associated with a reduced likelihood of reporting LLM output as useful (OR 0.98, CI 0.96-0.99). …”
