An extreme North Atlantic Oscillation event drove the pelagic Sargassum tipping point by Julien Jouanno, Sarah Berthet, Frank Muller-Karger, Olivier Aumont, Julio Sheinbaum

“…Among the hypotheses being debated about the origin and nutrient source to support the blooms are either: a) an increase in nutrient supply to the Atlantic Ocean via continental, or atmospheric inputs, or b) long-distance transport of a seed population during the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) event of 2009/2010 and stimulation of blooms in the tropical North Atlantic by nutrient supply primarily due to seasonal vertical mixing of the upper water column. …”

Raise of short-stemmed vaviloid branched spike lines and their cytogenetics by A. J. Aliyeva, S. P. Mehdiyeva, R. K. Kerimova

“…Hybridization between hexaploid species of wheat (Triticum L.) and triticale (Ч Triticosecale Wittm.) is used widely in genetic research and breeding when studying mutual introgressions of genetic material to original species. As far as the hexaploid triticale obtained in our Institute possessed a strong potential of morphogenesis, we decided to use it in crosses with bread wheat. …”

Privacy Protection Method for Vehicle Trajectory Based on VLPR Data by Hua Chen, Chen Xiong, Jia-meng Xie, Ming Cai

“…Through experimental analysis, the tracking probability of a vehicle’s trajectory can be more than 94% if utilizing the original data. To decrease the tracking probability, a novel approach called the (m, n)-bucket model based on time series is proposed since previous works, such as those using generalization and bucketization models, cannot deal with data with multiple sensitive attributes (SAs) or data with time correlations. …”

A new computational framework for simulating airway resistance, fraction of exhaled nitric oxide, and diffusing capacity for nitric oxide. by Benoit Haut, Cyril Karamaoun, Clément Rigaut

“…Our approach is firstly based on a realistic representation of the geometry of healthy lungs as a function of body mass, which compares well with data from the literature, particularly in terms of lung volume and alveolar surface area. The original way in which this geometry is created, including an individual definition of the airways in the first seven generations of the lungs, makes it possible to consider the heterogeneous nature of the lungs in terms of perfusion and ventilation. …”

How to Measure the State of Flow in Learning? Testing of the Study-Related Flow Inventory on a Sample of Russian Students by Alina E. Ivanova, Ilya S. Denisov

“…Confirmatory factor analysis was used to gather evidence of construct validity; the functioning of the scale for different groups of survey participants was also investigated; in addition, the item response theory was applied to assess the reliability of the scale, to assess the quality of individual scale items, and to investigate the functioning of individual categories. Like the original version, the Russian-language scale is quite reliable and also demonstrates invariance to the conditions of heterogeneous samples of subjects: by gender, by work/study status, and by the way the sample was obtained. …”
