Applying Imaging Technique to Investigate Effects of Solute Concentrations and Gas Injection Rates on Gas Bubble Generation by Guanxi Yan, Zhixin Cheng, Ye Ma, Alexander Scheuermann, Ling Li

“…Based on those results and findings, it is able to conclude that bubble size control, whose mechanism has been previously identified as the bubble collision and coalescence rather than the surface tension of water solutions, is actually dominated by not only the solute concentration but also the gas injection rate when a porous air sparger is used to generate bubbles. …”

How do crime and neighborhood environment affect transit ridership? Evidence from five metropolitan cities in the Texas Triangle by Qian He, Jianling Li

“…Existing empirical evidence has been focused on a single geographical region. Using stop-level transit ridership and service characteristics data from transit agencies in five metropolitan areas in the Texas Triangle (Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio) in 2018, we find that although the crime rate is negatively associated with ridership, better transit service characteristics such as higher service frequency and shorter average headway are associated with higher ridership, based on results of the negative binomial regression model. …”

Cardiopulmonary fitness in children/adolescents with chronic kidney disease and the impact of exercise training: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational study and ra... by Fan Zhang, Yan Bai, Liuyan Huang, Yifei Zhong

“…The results of a meta-analysis based on a pre-post single-arm trial showed that compared to baseline, exercise training improved the 6MWD by approximately 58.17 m (95% CI 16.27–100.06), with very low evidence.Conclusions This systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies and clinical trials that included children/adolescents with CKD found that cardiorespiratory fitness is severely reduced in this population and that exercise training may be an effective strategy for improvement. …”
