Multiple Mini Interviews vs Traditional Interviews: Investigating Racial and Socioeconomic Differences in Interview Processes by Banks PW, Hagedorn II JC, Soybel A, Coleman DM, Rivera G, Bhardwaj N

“…MMIs decreased demographic differences compared with traditional interviews for African-American candidates and slightly increased for URM, Hispanic, and disadvantaged candidates, but the effect size was small.Conclusion: Future work includes conducting rigorous data analysis to better assess the MMI’s utility, exploring the correlations between MMI scores, clinical evaluations, and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) results. This multifaceted approach will provide a comprehensive view of how MMI performance aligns with real-world clinical assessments and standardized evaluation metrics, offering valuable insights into its effectiveness as a predictor of future medical proficiency.Keywords: medical student selection, race-neutral admissions, multiple-min-interview, holistic admissions…”

A Geophysical Review of the Seabed Methane Seepage Features and Their Relationship with Gas Hydrate Systems by Jinxiu Yang, Mingyue Lu, Zhiguang Yao, Min Wang, Shuangfang Lu, Ning Qi, Ying Xia

“…Results show that seabed methane seepage sites are often manifested as methane flares, pockmarks, deep-water corals, authigenic carbonates, and gas hydrate pingoes at the seabed, most of which are closely related to vertical fluid migration structures like faults, gas chimneys, mud volcanoes, and unconformity surfaces or are located in the landward limit of gas hydrate stability zone (LLGHSZ) where hydrate dissociation may have released a great volume of methane. …”

Enhancements of soil priming effect and carbon sequestration in degraded alpine meadows via supplementation: a comparative study of Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries) and plateau pika (Och... by Qinyao Li, Wenquan Yang, Yanru Wu, Xilai Li, Jiancun Kou, Yanghua Yu, Yangcan Zhang, Xinting He, Yunlong Zhao

“…Compared with non-degraded alpine meadow soil, severely degraded alpine meadow soil had significantly different PE, but the PE of lightly and moderately degraded meadow soil was not significantly different from each other. Structural equation modelling shows that total nitrogen (TN), soil organic carbon (SOC), β-1,4-N-acetylaminoglucosidase (NAG), β-1,4-glucosidase (βG), pH, and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) are the main factors affecting PE. …”

Subsurface investigation for pre-foundation study utilizing integrated geophysical and geotechnical methods, UNILORIN campus by Gabriel Efomeh Omolaiye, Abdulhameed Kayode Oniyangi, Taofeeq Ayinde ISSA, Sodiq Bamidele Adam

“…However, the geotechnical analysis conducted on undisturbed samples picked at different depths from eight pits dug to a depth of 2.3 m revealed the following: bulk density (1.80 g/cm3-1.99 g/cm3), dry density (1.67 g/cm3-1.86 g/cm3) liquid limits (22.3%-34.1%), plastic limits (12.6%-19.8%), plasticity index (9.7%-14.3%) and cone penetration test (89.8 kN/m2-2110.3 kN/m2 at a depth of 0.1 m to 0.3 m), in which all these geotechnical analysis results classified the soil to be competent in variations and assess soil mechanical behaviour to support structural loads within study area. The integration of geophysical and geotechnical results revealed high topsoil resistivity correlates with high bearing capacity and is interpreted as thick and compacted lateritic materials. …”
