Detection of respiratory frequency rhythm in human alpha phase shifts: topographic distributions in wake and drowsy states by Aleksandar Kalauzi, Zoran Matić, Edin Suljovrujić, Tijana Bojić

“…Since our approach allows for a more precise calculation of CF phase shifts (CFPS) than any individual Fourier component, by using a 2-s moving Fourier window, we validated the new method and studied, for the first time, temporal waveforms CFPS(t) and their oscillatory content through FFT (CFPS(t)).ResultsAlthough not appearing equally in all channel pairs and every subject, a clear peak in the respiratory frequency region, 0.21–0.26 Hz, was observed (max at 0.22 Hz). …”

Forecasting Different Types of Droughts Simultaneously Using Multivariate Standardized Precipitation Index (MSPI), MLP Neural Network, and Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm (ICA) by Pouya Aghelpour, Vahid Varshavian

“…For this purpose, two semi-arid stations of western Iran were selected, and their precipitation data were provided from the Iranian Meteorological Organization (IRIMO), during the period of 1988–2017. MSPI was calculated in 5-time windows of the multivariate drought, including MSPI3–6 (drought in perspectives of soil moisture and surface hydrology simultaneously), MSPI6–12 (hydrological and agricultural droughts simultaneously), MSPI3–12 (soil moisture, surface hydrology, and agricultural droughts simultaneously), MSPI12–24 (drought in perspectives of agriculture and groundwater simultaneously), and MSPI24–48 (socio-economical droughts). …”

Determination of $$\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}$$ C P -violating HZZ interaction with polarised beams at the ILC by Cheng Li, Gudrid Moortgat-Pick

“…We explore the azimuthal angular distribution of the muon pair from the Z boson decay, and constructe $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -odd observables sensitive to $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -violation effects, where we derived this observable both by analytical calculations and by Whizard simulations. Particularly, we can construct two $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -odd observables with the help of transversely-polarised initial beams and improve the statistical significance of $${\mathcal{C}\mathcal{P}}$$ C P -violation effects by combining two measurements. …”

Primipaternity in multiparas as a predominant high risk factor for preeclampsia over prolonged birth intervals: A study of 33,000 singleton pregnancies in Reunion Island. by Pierre-Yves Robillard, Silvia Iacobelli, Simon Lorrain, Francesco Bonsante, Malik Boukerrou, Marco Scioscia, Phuong Lien Tran, Gustaaf Dekker

“…<h4>Results</h4>Among the 53,572 multiparous singleton pregnancies, we identified 33,312 (62%) of multiparas who gave consecutive births, allowing calculation of birth intervals. Primipaternity multipara (N = 2790) were on average older than those in stable relationships (N = 50,782), 31 vs 30 years, p< 0.0001; they had almost systematically longer birth intervals compared with controls of approximately 1.5 year from the 2nd to the 4th pregnancy and approximately 1year after the 5th pregnancy (all p < 0.05). …”
