Fat mass in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis is associated with cognitive function by Dongxue Zhang, Zijing Zhu, Lu Xue, Yifeng Zheng, Xiongfeng Li, Miyang Xu, Xinfang Xie, Yongli Wang

“…The relationship between body composition and cognitive function will be analyzed using t-tests and multiple linear regression.Our findings suggest that in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, cognitive function (MMSE score) is positively correlated with body composition indicators such as FM and BMD, and positively correlated with educational level, but negatively correlated with age. …”

Factors Influencing Maternal Readiness for Hospital Discharge from Dual Perspectives of Couples by Wenjing Xia, Yan Shi

“…The results of the hierarchical linear regression equation modeling showed that maternal relationship satisfaction independently explained 8.9% of the total variance in readiness for discharge after controlling for the effects of maternal and spousal general information (p < 0.001), and spousal relationship satisfaction independently explained 10.3% of the total variance in readiness for discharge after controlling for the effects of maternal and spousal general information and maternal relationship satisfaction (p < 0.001). …”

Exploring the Relationship Between Mixed Non-Motorized Traffic Flow Width and Other Parameters by Zihao Wang, Qi Zhao, Weijie Xiu, Li Wang

“…The research results show that when the bicycle lane width is between 2.0 and 3.4 m, there is a clear linear relationship between the speed of bicycle traffic flow and the traffic flow width, with bicycle traffic flow width increasing as speed increases. …”

Magnons from time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory and nonempirical Hubbard functionals by Luca Binci, Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov

“…Unlike methods that rely on empirical Hubbard U parameters to describe the ground state, and Heisenberg Hamiltonians for describing magnetic excitations, the methodology developed here probes directly the dynamical spin susceptibility (efficiently evaluated with TDDFPT throught the Liouville-Lanczos approach), and treats the linear variation of the Hubbard augmentation (in itself calculated non-empirically) in full at a self-consistent level. …”

Gloger's Rule or Historical Conjecture? Tests in Mammals by Natasha Howell, Tim Caro

“…All analyses were conducted using phylogenetic comparative generalised linear mixed models in a Bayesian framework. We found strong support for mammals being darker in the tropics and in areas of high precipitation and evapotranspiration, little support for them being darker in warmer areas, little support for them being redder in more arid regions (a more nuanced interpretation of Gloger's rule), and virtually no support for 19th‐century naturalists' conjecture regarding coloration, contrast, or patterning being more conspicuous in the tropics. …”

Student identities predict classmate and instructor fear of negative evaluation among undergraduates in large-enrollment introductory biology courses by Katelyn M. Cooper, Carly A. Busch, Sara E. Brownell

“…Students reported higher instructor FNE than classmate FNE. Using linear regressions, we found that women and nonbinary students, persons excluded based on ethnicity or race (PEERs), continuing-generation college students, LGBTQ+ students, and non-native English speakers had higher instructor FNE than their respective counterparts. …”

Multi-dimensional spatial and temporal dynamics of environmental stress and driving factors in the Baiyangdian Basin, China by Siyao Li, Zihua Yuan, Xiao Liu, Xing Gao, Hui Du

“…This study uses remote sensing and socioeconomic data from 2002, 2012 and 2022 to establish a four-dimensional assessment framework covering land use, hydrology, air quality, and socioeconomic factors, using the entropy weight method to determine the weight of indicators, environmental stress values were calculated at the county level, and multiple linear regression was used to identify key driving forces. …”

Buying Behaviour of Organic Food Consumers by R. A. P. I. S. Dharmadasa, M. A. E. K. Jayasinghe

“…In identifying patterns and relationships that influence purchasing decisions, gathered data were analyzed through Pearson Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression techniques. The study finds that several psychological and product-related factors play a crucial role in shaping consumers' intentions to purchase organic food. …”

Deformation Control Method of the Antislide Pile under Trapezoidal Load in the Zhangjiawan Landslide by Hao Wang, Zhiying Lv, Hongyu Qin, Jianwei Yue, Jianwei Zhang

“…The results indicated that (1) when the embedded length of an antislide pile increases, the horizontal displacement on the pile and maximum absolute shear force decrease, while the bending moment of the pile exhibits opposite trends; (2) the relationship between maximum shear force and maximum bending moment is linear with increasing driving force of landslide; and (3) increase in the ratio of the driving force between the pile head and slip surface (q0/q1) steadily increases the horizontal displacement of the pile. …”

OPTIMAL ESTIMATION OF RANDOM PROCESSES ON THE CRITERION OF MAXIMUM A POSTERIORI PROBABILITY by A. A. Lobaty, Y. F. Yacina, N. N. Arefiev

“…The problem of obtaining the equations for the a posteriori probability density of a stochastic Markov process with a linear measurement model. Unlike common approaches based on consideration as a criterion for optimization of the minimum mean square error of estimation, in this case, the optimization criterion is considered the maximum a posteriori probability density of the process being evaluated.The a priori probability density estimated Gaussian process originally considered a differentiable function that allows us to expand it in a Taylor series without use of intermediate transformations characteristic functions and harmonic decomposition. …”
