Want a worry-free trip? Seeking the optimal travel paradigm in view of public-to-individual risk perception by Chunbing Bao, Yuqiao Hui, Zhen Zhang, Qinyue Zheng, Qingchun Meng

“…Using Xinjiang province as a case study, empirical analysis reveals several key findings: (1) Individual travel profiles are associated with various factors that significantly influence risk perceptions, with factors such as travel expenditure and duration exerting the greatest impact, this coincides with the common perception; (2) Other factors, including traveling in non-autumn seasons, traveling with friends, going by cruising, cycling, self-driving, staying at three-star hotels on the northern and central area of Xinjiang, and following linear and circular routes, substantially reduce tourism risk perception; and (3) Discernible differences in travel plans between males and females emerge when their risk perceptions are low. …”

Nonlinear Responses and Population-Level Coupling of Growth and MC-LR Production in <i>Microcystis aeruginosa</i> Under Multifactorial Conditions by Melina Celeste Crettaz-Minaglia, Sandro Goñi, Leda Giannuzzi

“…Growth parameters (µ, lag phase duration, and maximum cell density), chlorophyll-a production, and MC-LR synthesis were modeled using Gompertz, linear, and dynamic approaches. High temperature and irradiance increased the specific growth rate but decreased final biomass, while elevated N:P ratios shortened the lag phase. …”
