Older adults looking at dog pictures - psychobiological effects by Catia Correia-Caeiro, Teresa Romero, Kun Guo, Daniel S. Mills

“…Therefore, in this study we tested if looking at static dog images could have physiological and/or psychological effects in older adults, by collecting salivary oxytocin, heart rate, optimism scores, testing cooperativeness/competitiveness, and examining gaze patterns when looking at dog pictures in three conditions: dogs facing the observer, dogs facing sideways, or control pixelated pictures. …”

Rates and causes of mortality among children and young people with and without intellectual disabilities in Scotland: a record linkage cohort study of 796 190 school children by Angela Henderson, Sally-Ann Cooper, Deborah Kinnear, Craig Melville, J P Pell, Michael Fleming, Gillian S Smith

“…Objectives To investigate mortality rates and causes in children and young people with intellectual disabilities.Design Retrospective cohort; individual record linkage between Scotland’s annual pupil census and National Records of Scotland death register.Setting General community.Participants Pupils receiving local authority-funded schooling in Scotland, 2008 to 2013, with an Additional Support Need due to intellectual disabilities, compared with other pupils.Main outcome measures Deaths up to 2015: age of death, age-standardised mortality ratios (age-SMRs); causes of death including cause-specific age-SMRs; avoidable deaths as defined by the UK Office of National Statistics.Results 18 278/947 922 (1.9%) pupils had intellectual disabilities. 106 died over 67 342 person-years (crude mortality rate=157/100 000 person-years), compared with 458 controls over 3 672 224 person-years (crude mortality rate=12/100 000 person-years). …”

Numerical assessments of scour depth predictions downstream of box culverts under various flow and blockage conditions by Kaywan Othman Ahmed, Mohammad Reza Kavianpour, Ata Amini, Younes Aminpour

“…The analysis revealed that predictions from numerical models corresponded closely with experimental outcomes, although the scour depths calculated by the models were generally lower than those observed under both steady and unsteady flow conditions. While blockage rates notably impacted scour patterns in the first hydrograph of unsteady flows, increasing blockage percentages did not reliably result in proportional increases in scour depth, as seen in the second hydrograph for unsteady and both steady flow conditions.…”

Research on Diffusion Patterns of Gas Produced by Energy Storage Lithium Batteries due to Thermal Runaway by LIU Li, SHI Mengzhao, XU Dongyang, TANG Wenbing, HU Yue, JIANG Fengbing

“…The subsequent modeling of cell combustion, combined with experimental data, allows for the accurate correction of the heat release rate curve using a modified dichotomy method. In the numerical simulation stage, the corrected heat release rate curve, along with the large eddy simulation (LES) method, is used to simulate the thermal runaway combustion process of battery modules within containers. …”
