Prevalence and Severity of Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Recreational and Elite Equestrian Athletes in Training and Competition: An Exploratory Analysis by Russ Best, Jeni Pearce

“…Equestrian sports present a unique challenge to the rider's gastrointestinal (GI) tract and health as they meet nutritional requirements for performance, execute riding discipline-specific skills, and coordinate their hip and abdominal movements with their equine movement pattern. Additional gastrointestinal challenges may result from the known gut-brain axis, as previous research reports a high rate of anxiety in equestrian athletes. …”

An Enhanced Human Evolutionary Optimization Algorithm for Global Optimization and Multi-Threshold Image Segmentation by Liang Xiang, Xiajie Zhao, Jianfeng Wang, Bin Wang

“…Thresholding image segmentation aims to divide an image into a number of regions with different feature attributes in order to facilitate the extraction of image features in the context of image detection and pattern recognition. However, existing threshold image-segmentation methods suffer from the problem of easily falling into locally optimal thresholds, resulting in poor image segmentation. …”

The influence of the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid on the mangiferin release kinetics from the polymer matrix by P. P. Snetkov, R. O. Shaikenov, V. I. Klimshina, Yu. E. Generalova, S. N. Morozkina

“…Mangiferin release kinetic from a polymer matrix based on hyaluronic acid has a release sigmoidal pattern. The release mechanism has a complex nature of the Super Case II transport type, with the exception of a sample with a low content of mangiferin and hyaluronic acid with molecular weight equal to 1.3 MDa, for which an abnormal release pattern is detected (non-Fickian diffusion), due to the hydrophilic nature of hyaluronic acid, the rapid swelling of the polymer matrix, as well as a significant leading in the diffusion of mangiferin compared to the relaxation rate of the polymer. …”

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Comprehensive investigations of mixed convection of Fe–ethylene-glycol nanofluid inside an enclosure with different obstacles using lattice Boltzmann method by Chenqi Fu, Amin Rahmani, Wanich Suksatan, S. M. Alizadeh, Majid Zarringhalam, Supat Chupradit, Davood Toghraie

“…A change in the attack angle of the enclosure leads to changes in the movement distance for fluid between hot and cold sources and passing fluid through case E, which affects the flow pattern strongly. In each attack angle, on colliding with an obstacle, the fluid heat transfers between two sources, which leads to uniform heat transfer in the enclosure. …”

Dynamic relationship among China's economic development, food safety and health production from a global perspective by Minjie Teng, Minjie Teng, Hua Wei, Hua Wei, Qunshan Tao, Qunshan Tao

“…Such a model is essential to gain deeper insights into the complex interplay among economic development, food safety, and health production.MethodsUsing panel data from 30 provinces in China (2017–2020), we integrated economic development, food safety, and health production into a unified efficiency assessment framework.ResultsOur findings reveal that China's overall efficiency is low (0.504), with significant regional heterogeneity, presenting a pattern of high in the east and low in the west; the efficiency of economic development (0.288) significantly lags behind the efficiency of health production (0.694); and the efficiency of food safety risk control is weak (the efficiency of food inspection failure rate, the number of foodborne illness incidents and patients are 0.694, 0.368, and 0.428, respectively).DiscussionThe DNSBM model breaks through the limitations of traditional static analysis and provides a dynamic assessment tool for emerging economies to reconcile the contradiction of “economic growth resource consumption public health”. …”
