Late Quaternary fluctuation in upper range limit of trees shapes endemic flora diversity on the Tibetan Plateau by Jinfeng Xu, Tao Wang, Xiaoyi Wang, Christian Körner, Xianyong Cao, Eryuan Liang, Yongping Yang, Shilong Piao

“…Abstract The influence of paleoclimate in shaping current biodiversity pattern is widely acknowledged. However, it remains unclear how the upper paleo-range limit of trees, which dictated the habitat of endemic alpine species, affects the variability in endemic alpine species composition across space over the Tibetan Plateau. …”

Greater occipital nerve blockade in cervicogenic headache by MAURICE B. VINCENT, RENATO A. LUNA, DENISE SCANDIUZZI, SÉRGIO A. P NOVIS

“…The improvement is less marked during the first two days, a phenomenon we called "tilde pattern". GON blockades may reduce the pool of exaggerated sensory input and antagonize a putative "wind-up-like effect" which may explain the headache improvement.…”

Experimental Study of Water and Sediment Separation under Hydrocyclone and Flocculation by FU Xuhui, SONG Yuanyuan, HU Jiang, TANG Dingdan, WANG Shuo, CAO Changlai

“…In order to study the effect of the combined technology of hydrocyclone and flocculation on the sediment content of water bodies,this paper measures the surface velocity and turbidity by a laboratory self-circulating physical model,ADV and ASM-IV turbidimeter,and analyzes the flow pattern and sediment distribution in the hydrocyclone pool.The results show that:The internal flow field of the hydrocyclone pool is a typical three-dimensional axisymmetric flow field;the turbidity in the hydrocyclone pool gradually decreases from the side wall to the center in the radial direction,and the turbidity gradually increases in the axial direction.Under the same sediment conditions,when the flocculant concentration was 5 mg/L,the effect of final sediment contents in purified water (water purified by the outer ring twice) is the best;the smaller the inlet flow of the hydrocyclone pool,the smaller the final sediment content in purified water.Compared with flocculant,inlet flow has a greater impact on the final sediment content in purified water,so it is a key factor in reducing the sediment content. …”

Educational moderation of gender disparities in psychedelic health outcomes by Sean Viña

“…Results from three-way interaction terms indicate that while LCPU is associated with higher distress overall, the association varies across education levels. This pattern suggests that rather than universally improving mental health, the effects of psychedelic use depend on key social factors such as education and gender.…”
