Wearable multimodal sensing for quantifying the cardiovascular autonomic effects of levodopa in parkinsonism by John A. Berkebile, Omer T. Inan, Omer T. Inan, Paul A. Beach

“…However, levodopa has potential to exacerbate cardiovascular autonomic (CVA) dysfunction that may co-occur in patients. Heart rate variability (HRV) is the most common method for assessing CVA function, but broader monitoring of CVA function and levodopa effects is typically limited to clinical settings and symptom reporting, which fail to capture its holistic nature. …”

Oil price shocks and human capital channels in Nigeria by Olabisi Rasheedat Oladipo, Abiola John Asaleye, Ademola Andrew Onabote, Damilola Felix Eluyela, Rotimi Ayoade Ogunjumo, Joseph Olufemi Ogunjobi, Olufemi Adebayo Oladipo, Stephen Adesina Ibitowa

“…While many studies have investigated the relationship between oil price volatility and human capital development, few have examined how this relationship impacts both basic and advanced human capital channels in developing economies; this study addresses that gap by using a Structural Vector Auto Regression (SVAR) approach to investigate how oil price shocks influence human capital channels. Co-integration tests reveal significant long-term relationships among the variables. …”

A novel method for calculating number buildup factor in gamma-ray transmission measurements using narrow beam geometry by Chuong Huynh Dinh, Trang Le Thi Ngoc, Linh Nguyen Thi Truc, Nguyen Vo Hoang, Thanh Tran Thien

“…Furthermore, the slope of these linear relationships can be expressed as a product of mass density and a cubic polynomial function of the atomic number. Based on these findings, we developed a fitting formula to calculate the number buildup factor using the input variables of sample thickness, mass density, and atomic number. …”

Divergent altitudinal patterns of arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in a mid-subtropical mountain ecosystem by Taotao Wei, Huiguang Zhang, Shunfen Wang, Chunping Wu, Tieyao Tu, Yonglong Wang, Xin Qian

“…Among the examined factors, soil properties emerged as the predominant driver of altitudinal variations in ecosystem multifunctionality, followed by AMF communities and climatic variables. These findings provide critical insights into the ecological functions and environmental adaptations of mycorrhizal fungi, advancing our understanding of their responses to environmental changes in mountain ecosystems and informing evidence-based conservation strategies.…”
