Cortisol awakening response in pregnant women with depressive disorders: a potential marker of recovery status from pregnancy to postpartum by Carlinde W. Broeks, Babette Bais, Rien Van, Hilmar H. Bijma, Elisabeth F.C. van Rossum, Witte J.G. Hoogendijk, Mijke P. Lambregtse-Van den Berg, Astrid M. Kamperman

“…Conclusion: Higher AUCi and peak cortisol reactivity of the cortisol awakening response during pregnancy were linked to persistence of depressive symptoms postpartum, suggesting that heightened cortisol reactivity to awakening may indicate persistent stress vulnerability in peripartum depression. Total cortisol output (AUCg) was not predictive of recovery. …”

Numerical Simulation Study on Optimization of Multiparameter Combination for Horizontal Well Fracturing in Nonhomogeneous Conglomerate Reservoirs by Zehao Xu, Haiyang Zhao, Xiangjun Liu, Xiong Zhang, Pandeng Luo, Lixi Liang

“…This study employs the continuous–discontinuous element method (CDEM) to conduct engineering-scale 3D simulations using a mathematical model incorporating rock strength heterogeneity. A predictive model relating stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) to in situ stress, stage, cluster parameters, and well azimuth was developed, with SRV maximization as the objective. …”
