The Relationship between Core Stability Muscles Isometric Strength and Endurance with the Postural Control and Walking Endurance in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis by Behnam Moradi, Seyed Sadreddin Shojaedin

“…On the other hand, no significant relationship was found between core muscles isometric tests with 6-minute with walk functional among the patients multiple sclerosis. Conclusion: Despite the significant relationship between core muscles isometric strength and endurance in patients MS on one of the functional capability variables (balance), it should be stated that taking advantage of other methods (dynamic methods and methods like Electromyography) is required in order to achieve more verified and certain results.…”

Spatiotemporal Evolution and Multi-Driver Dynamics of Sea-Level Changes in the Yellow–Bohai Seas (1993–2023) by Lujie Xiong, Fengwei Wang, Yanping Jiao, Yunqi Zhou

“…Temporal and spatial variations were examined through nonlinear least squares fitting to capture interannual variability and decadal amplitude distributions. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis identified the first three modes, explaining 90.40%, 2.78%, and 1.47% of the total variance, respectively, and their spatial patterns and temporal coefficients were derived. …”

Critical energy distribution and fracture characteristics of heterogeneous rock under splitting condition by Hongguang JI, Zhen FU, Yuezheng ZHANG, Chunrui ZHANG, Dongsheng CHEN

“…The experimental results show: ① The deformation space variability coefficient at the 90% peak stress level of the rock can be used to evaluate the differences in rock deformation coordination, and it is approximately negatively correlated with the tensile strength of the specimen; ② The acoustic emission bi value shows a “fluctuating-rising-falling” trend during the loading process. …”

Jump around: Selecting Markov Chain Monte Carlo parameters and diagnostics for improved food web model quality and ecosystem representation by Gemma Gerber, Ursula M. Scharler

“…However, little information exists on how each LIM-MCMC algorithm parameter affects the degree of empirical data variability introduced into the ensemble. Further, post hoc algorithm quality diagnostics with commonly used trace plots and the coefficient of variation (CoV) rarely address critical aspects of algorithm quality, such as (1) if the returned ensemble successfully targeted the solution space distribution (stationarity), (2) correlation between ensemble solutions (mixing), and (3) if the ensemble contains enough solutions to adequately capture input data variability (sampling efficiency). …”
