Comparative study of Baduanjin and brisk walking on balance and stability in older adults by Ya-Guang Yu, Jun Zhang, Lin Wang, Dai-Feng Yu, Gong-Bing Shan, Xiao Fu

“…Results: (1) For the eyes-open two-legged standing posture, the center of pressure (COP) was more centralized in the Baduanjin group; the swaying range of the body, forward and backward displacement, and left and right displacement among the elderly individuals in this group were significantly lower than those of the other two groups. (2) In the tests for two-legged standing, one-legged standing, and tandem feet stance, the elderly in the Baduanjin group had significantly lower swaying trajectory of the center of gravity, body swaying ellipse area, and maximum vibration parameters than those in the brisk walking and control groups. (3) The 2nd pose of Baduanjin, which involves a considerable amount of knee bending and semi-squatting exercises for the lower limbs, proved to be beneficial for the lower limb joints and body balance among the elderly. …”

Unraveling drivers and patterns of species richness in coastal marine ecosystem under global warming: Insights from ecosystem connectivity by Xiangyan Yang, Jia Wo, Toniann Keiling, Yong Chen

“…Regime shift and correlation analyses suggest that environmental pressures are the primary stressors driving changes in HRE-NYB fish and macroinvertebrate richness, rather than fishing pressure. Using center of gravity and species-level dynamics analysis, we identified different temporal and spatial responses to warming temperature across estuary and marine habitats and between lower and higher trophic levels. …”

Harvesting Baltic Microalgae <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> BA-167 Using Coagulant Flokor 1.2A via Static Sedimentation Under Auto- and Targeted Flocculation by Małgorzata Płaczek, Agnieszka Błasiak, Stanisław Witczak

“…Flokor 1.2A facilitates the coagulation and agglomeration of microalgae cells, promoting the formation of larger aggregates (flocs) ranging from 20 μm to 690 μm, which settle more easily during gravity-driven sedimentation. Within the coagulant concentration range (<i>C_F</i>) of 0.01–0.36 g/L, sedimentation time was reduced by 3–7 times, and algae harvesting efficiency exceeded 92%. …”
