The Role of Media Use and Emotions in Risk Perception and Preventive Behaviors Related to COVID-19 in South Korea by Sungjoong Kim, Sung Kyum Cho, Sarah Prusoff LoCascio

“…The eight negative emotions, identified using factor analysis of a series of 11 emotions, were anger, annoyance, fear, sadness, anxiety, insomnia, helplessness, and stress. Negative emotions themselves were influenced most strongly by the respondent’s anxiety over social safety (*βf*=.286), followed by prediction of COVID-19 spread (*β*=.121, *p*<.001) and perceived risk of COVID-19 infection (*β*=.70, p=.023). …”

Dynamic principal modeling of cemented phosphogypsum stabilized soil under dry and wet cycles. by Zhangrong Ji, Kaisheng Chen, Kai Zhang

“…The test results show that: (1) the effect of wet and dry cycles has a greater impact on the dynamic constitutive model of the mix, Monismith exponential model is suitable for the dynamic stress-strain curves in the case of wet and dry cycling; (2) The dynamic shear modulus-dynamic shear strain constitutive model of phosphogypsum stabilized soil was established based on dynamic soil mechanics, and the fitted correlation coefficients were all higher than 0.85, and the maximum values of MAE and RMSE were 4.827 and 5.990, respectively; (3) The prediction of the dynamic resilience modulus of phosphogypsum stabilized soil can be fitted by Ni model and power exponential model; (4) By comparing the dynamic and static modulus of rebound, it is concluded that the value of dynamic modulus of rebound for phosphogypsum-stabilized soil under dry and wet cycles is 1.1-1.5 times of the static modulus of rebound, and the recommended value of dynamic modulus of rebound is 90-100 MPa.…”

Red light enhances the storage quality and flavor of Chinese cabbage during a short shelf life by Tuoyi Wang, Chunyan Li, Sijia Liu, Yao Liu

“…In parallel, red light facilitates the accumulation of diverse volatile flavor compounds (VFCs), improving the flavor profile, and contributes to better nutritional quality through greater nitrogen retention and higher foliar humidity. A reduction in leaf temperature under red light further helps limit heat stress and respiration rates, thereby delaying senescence. …”
