Effects of Different Harvest Times on Nutritional Component of Herbaceous Peony Flower Petals by Weixing Li, Xiaomei Song, Yanmin Hua, Jun Tao, Chunhua Zhou

“…In this study, petals of three herbaceous peony cultivars including “Dafugui,” “Hongyan Zhenghui,” and “Yangfei Chuyu” at four different development stages were used as materials to measure the content of soluble sugar, organic acid, protein, vitamin C (Vc), total phenolics, total flavonoids, mineral elements, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, with the aim to understand the variation tendency of the nutritional ingredients and bioactive components in herbaceous peony flower petals during development and to determine the optimal harvest time for herbaceous peony flowers with better edible qualities. …”

Human response times are governed by dual anticipatory processes with distinct neural signatures by Ashwin G. Ramayya, Vivek Buch, Andrew Richardson, Timothy Lucas, Joshua I. Gold

“…Participants showed two forms of anticipatory response biases, distinguished by more premature false alarms (FAs) or faster response times (RTs) on long-delay trials. These biases had distinct neural signatures in prestimulus neural activity modulations that were distributed and intermixed across the brain: the FA bias was most evident in preparatory motor activity immediately prior to response-cue presentation, whereas the RT bias was most evident in visuospatial activity at the beginning of the foreperiod. …”

The Biopsychosocial Burden of Prostate Biopsy at the Time of Its Indication, Procedure, and Pathological Report by Walker W. Laranja, Brunno C. F. Sanches, Brunno R. I. Voris, João C. C. Alonso, Fabiano A. Simões, Ronald F. Rejowski, Leonardo O. Reis

“…The Mann-Whitney or Friedman tests were obtained among times and studied variables. Results. Prostate biopsy did not significantly impact patients' erectile and voiding functions while a higher Beck anxiety index (BAI) was observed at Time 0 (6.89 ± 6.33) compared to Time 1 (4.83 ± 2.87), p=0.0214, and to Time 2 (4.22 ± 4.98), p=0.0178. …”
