The Redshift Evolution of the Luminosity Function of Type II Gamma-Ray Bursts by Yan-Kun Qu, Zhong-Xiao Man, Yu-Peng Yang, Shuang-Xi Yi, Mei Du, Fa-yin Wang

“…As of 2023 December, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory satellite has detected more than 1600 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We select 307 Type II GRBs for constructing the luminosity function (LF) based on the following criteria: (1) duration T _90 ≥ 2 s; (2) conformity with the Amati relation for Type II GRBs; and (3) peak flux P ≥ 1 photon cm ^−2 s ^−1 . …”

Exploring the relationship between dietary index for gut microbiota and cognitive function by Changhu Sun, Tingting Tan, Zeping Chen, Zeping Chen

“…Both RCS and threshold analyses confirmed the linear correlation between DI-GM and beneficial gut flora and total scores of cognitive functions (P for non-linear > 0.05). Additionally, our study demonstrated that the correlation between DI-GM and total scores of cognitive functions was maintained in subgroup analyses (P for interaction > 0.05).ConclusionThe findings of the study indicated that DI-GM profoundly impacts cognitive performance, which suggests that dietary modifications based on DI-GM may help lower the level of cognitive impairment in the elderly, but further high-caliber research is required to elucidate the precise processes and application modalities, and to provide more effective strategies for improving cognitive function in the elderly.…”
