Evidence of differences in diurnal electrodermal, temperature and heart rate patterns by mental health status in free-living data by Xin Liu, Nicholas B Allen, Ming-Zher Poh, Daniel McDuff, Isaac Galatzer-Levy, Seamus Thomson, Andrew Barakat, Conor Heneghan, Samy Abdel-Ghaffar, Jacob Sunshine, Lindsey Sunden, John B Hernandez, Allen Jiang, Ari Winbush, Benjamin Nelson

“…We use a non-linear cosinor fitting method to estimate the difference in mesor, amplitude and phase, between the diurnal rhythms in heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV) root mean square of successive differences, EDA, skin temperature and steps.Findings Subjects who exhibited elevated depressive and anxiety symptoms had higher tonic EDA, skin temperature and heart rate, despite not engaging in greater physical activity, compared with those that were not depressed or anxious. …”

Evolution of accessory bones in cetacean skull coupled with decreasing rate of ossification of cranial sutures by Valeriia Telizhenko, Pavel Gol’din

“…A strong phylogenetic signal was found for both suture ossification rate and accessory bone presence. Cetaceans were shown to have a lower ossification rate than most terrestrial artiodactyls, except deer (Cervidae) and mouse deer (Tragulidae), which showed somewhat similar patterns. …”

Effects of the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program on Public School Students’ Achievement and Graduation Rates by Anna J. Egalite, Andrew D. Catt

“…We relied on network proximity data to generate a drive-time measure that accounts for road lengths, intersection turn times, speed limits, and traffic patterns. This allowed us to calculate travel time between two points in 1-minute intervals. …”

Revisiting an Indentation Method for Measuring Low Wear Rates Using 3D Interferometry by Gabriela R. Piazzetta, Thomas M. Zeller, Juan M. Hernandez-Otalvaro, Giuseppe Pintaude

“…However, the extremely low wear rates observed in such simulations pose challenges for conventional characterization methods, as gravimetric and profilometric techniques often lack the precision and accuracy needed to measure low wear patterns with an uneven morphology. …”

The slip-rate, state-, temperature-, and normal-stress-dependence of fault frictionKey points by Sylvain Barbot

“…The mechanics of slow-slip events and earthquakes is controlled by the constitutive behavior of rocks in active fault zones, which is sensitive to many factors encompassing lithology, temperature, confining and pore-fluid pressure, and slip-rate, among others. Understanding the frictional properties of faults is crucial to predicting many aspects of the seismic cycle, from the source characteristics and recurrence patterns of earthquakes to the mechanics of remote triggering. …”

Study on energy evolution and crack propagation of filling mortar-rock at different loading rates. by Hanqiu Wang, Chengyong Liu, Yuyi Wu, Yuhua Guan, Tongde Zhao

“…However, when shotcrete becomes tightly bonded with rock masses, the energy evolution and crack initiation mechanisms between the two materials exhibit remarkable complexity. Different loading rates significantly alter the internal stress distribution and deformation characteristics within the composite system, thereby influencing the patterns of energy evolution and crack propagation. …”

Determining optimum plant density and nitrogen rate using field experiment and model simulation by Bizuwork Tafes Desta, Sisay Eshetu Tesema, Gebrekidan Feleke Mekuria, Almaz Meseret Gezahegn, Alemayehu Zemede Lemma

“…The model was further evaluated with the experimental data conducted during the 2020 cropping season under four plant densities and four nitrogen fertilizer rates. Because of differences in temperature and rainfall patterns during the potential growing season, seasonal analysis was used to determine the optimum plant density and N rate using 37 years (1985–2022) of historical weather data. …”
