An ENSO-Forecast Independent Statistical Model for the Prediction of Annual Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Frequency in April by Kenny Xie, Bin Liu

“…Leave-one-out cross validation indicates that the annual Atlantic TC counts predicted by this ENSO-independent statistical model show a remarkable correlation with the actual TC counts (R=0.72; P value <0.01). For Atlantic hurricanes, the predictions using March ETP LHF and summer (July–September) ENSO indices show only minor differences except in moderate to strong El Niño years. …”

Self-control moderates the impacts of physical activity on the sleep quality of university students by Zhonggen Yin, Chengbo Yang, Xiaomei Yu

“…Our analysis revealed a significant correlation between physical activity levels and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (r = − 0.541, p < 0.01). Furthermore, self-control was found to be a significant moderating factor (β = 0.001, p < 0.01), indicating that the effect of physical activity on sleep quality is influenced by an individual’s level of self-control. …”
