Emotional wellbeing in neurodivergent populations by J. David Pincus, Ken Beller

“…The sample includes individuals self-identifying with ADHD, ASD, DCD, SID, SH, OCD, and other conditions, alongside a neurotypical comparison group.ResultsFindings reveal systematic variations in emotional wellbeing indexed by three key indicators: (1) overall valence (positive vs. negative emotional needs), (2) activation level (intensity of emotional needs), and (3) the resulting wellbeing index (a composite of the first two). …”

The Genesis of a Thin-Bedded Beach-Bar System Under the Strike-Slip Extensional Tectonic Framework: A Case Study in the Bohai Bay Basin by Jing Wang, Youbin He, Hua Li, Bin Feng, Zhongxiang Zhao, Xing Yu, Xiangyang Hou

“…Integrating drilling cores, wireline log interpretations, three-dimensional seismic data, geochemical analyses, and palynological data, this study investigates the sedimentary characteristics, sandbody distribution patterns, controlling factors, and genetic model of this lacustrine beach-bar system. Results reveal the following: (1) widespread thin-bedded beach-bar sandbodies dominated by fine-grained sandstones and siltstones, exhibiting wave ripples and low-angle cross-bedding; (2) two vertical stacking patterns, Type A, thick mudstone intervals intercalated with laterally continuous thin sandstone layers, and Type B, composite sandstones comprising thick sandstone units overlain by thin sandstone beds, both demonstrating significant lateral continuity; (3) three identified microfacies: bar-core, beach-core, and beach-margin facies; (4) key controls on sandbody development: paleoenvironmental evolution establishing the depositional framework, secondary fluctuations modulating depositional processes, strike-slip extensional tectonics governing structural zonation, paleobathymetry variations and paleotopography controlling distribution loci, and provenance clastic influx regulating scale and enrichment (confirmed by detrital zircon U-Pb dating documenting a dual provenance system). …”

Spatial (Mis)Matches Between Biodiversity and Habitat Quality Under Multi-Scenarios: A Case Study in Shandong Province, Eastern China by Xiaoyin Sun, Ruifeng Shan, Qingxin Luan, Yuee Zhang, Zhicong Chen

“…Correlation analysis showed that related coefficients between HQ and four biodiversity indices (vertebrate, vascular plant, and vegetation formation type richness, and comprehensive biodiversity index) were all significant (<i>p</i> < 0.01), and coefficients were highest for the biodiversity composite index. An analysis of relative importance by the random forest algorithm indicated significant variation in driving factors for spatial distribution of HQ, biodiversity, and matches between them. …”

A MATHEMATICAL APPROACH TO INVESTMENT WITH CHARGE ON BALANCE AND VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER WEIBULL MORTALITY FORCE FUNCTION by Edikan Edem Akpanibah, Peter Benneth, Ase Matthias Esabai

“…To achieve this, there is need to develop an optimal portfolio which considers the volatility of the stock market price consisting of one risk-free asset and a risky asset which follows the Heston volatility model (HVM). Also, the portfolio considers additional voluntary contributions (AVC) by members, tax on the stock market price, charge on balance (CB), and the mortality risk of the pension scheme members (PSM) modeled by the Weibull mortality force function.  …”

Distribution patterns of gross primary production of mangrove ecosystems in Hainan Island and their driving mechanisms by ZHENG Yinqi1,2,3, SHI Xian3,4, CHEN Quan3,5, WU Lan3,5, CUI Wei6, WANG Wenmei1,2, SUN Zhongyi3,5*, TAN Ke7*

“…In this paper, the GPP of mangrove ecosystems in Hainan Island from 2016 to 2020 were estimated based on the mangrove vegetation photosynthesis-light use efficiency (MVP-LUE) model using Sentinel-2 imagery and environmental data, and the spatiotemporal distribution pattern of GPP and its driving mechanism were explored. …”

Evaluating the impacts of xylo-oligosaccharides on growth performance of broiler chickens: A meta-analytical study by M. Naeem, Dianna Bourassa, Samuel Rochell, Mike Bedford

“…Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive association between XOS levels and both ADG (R2 = 0.023, P = 0.031) and ADFI (R2 = 0.038, P = 0.009), while FCR showed no significant correlation (R2 = 0.004, P = 0.391). A predictive model for ADG (R² = 0.850, RMSE = 0.135) accounted for 85 % of the variation and demonstrated reliability through cross-validation, making it a robust for forecasting growth performance based on XOS inclusion rates. …”
