Investigation of Thermal Behaviour of Mesocarp Fibre and Bituminous Coal with their Blends by Olutosin Olufisayo Ilori, James Tayo Bamigboye, Oluwasegun Michael Adebanjo, Akpoizokumor Jeremiah Tobi, Ayo James Kayode, Pelumi Ebenezer Akinlotan, Michael Odumu Ebegonye, Opeoluwa Damilola Sola-Adeoye

“…Although, the blending of MF with CF was found to have significant effects on the thermal behaviour of both feedstocks, due to a better pattern in the feedstocks’ behaviour at 5 oC/min heating rate, it can be deduced that this rate helps to have a better insight into the thermal behaviour of the feedstocks studied. …”

Effect of breast milk olfactory experience on physiological indicators in very low birth weight infants: a randomized clinical trial by Ling Yu, Yibo Tao, Pin Jia, Liling Li, Tianchan Lv, Li Wang, Qinqin Song, Xia Huan, Chan Liu, Yalan Dou, Yan Xuan, Xiao-jing Hu

“…A narrower range of fluctuation was observed across all physiological indicators in the intervention group, indicating a more stable pattern compared to the control group. Although no significant difference was found in heart rate variability (50.35 ± 9.61 vs. 48.03 ± 10.2, t=-1.320, P = 0.187), a significant difference was noted in the average heart rate between the two groups (155.65 ± 6.80 vs. 153.58 ± 4.22, t=-2.141, P = 0.032). …”
