Is the Children’s 15-Minute City an Effective Framework for Enhancing Children’s Health and Well-Being? An Empirical Analysis from Western China by Xiao Wang, Jingping Huang, Zhengyou Qin, Wei Gan, Zhen He, Xiang Li

“…The findings reveal that the Walking Index in the study area is generally low, with an uneven distribution, primarily influenced by road network density, block size, and urban landscape patterns. This study proposes the development of a “Children’s Healthy 15-minute Life Circle”, which would increase child-friendly service facilities, pedestrian infrastructure, and urban road network density. …”

Voice assimilation of morphemic -s in the L2 English of L1 French, L1 Italian and L1 Spanish learners by Leonardo Contreras Roa, Paolo Mairano, Marc Capliez, Caroline Bouzon

“…Given the different distributions and status of [s] and [z] in the participants’ L1s and based on SLM (Speech Learning Model) and MDH (Markedness Differential Hypothesis), we hypothesized that L1 French learners and L1 Italian learners would find it easier than L1 Spanish learners to reproduce the outcome of the voice assimilation rule, but our predictions are only partially confirmed by the results: L1 French learners (who have /s/ and /z/ in their L1 as phonemes occurring in word-final position) are indeed the most successful in producing the expected patterns of periodicity. However, L1 Spanish learners outperform L1 Italian learners in producing periodicity in voiced contexts. …”

The Effect of Audible Joint Manipulation Sounds in the Upper Cervical Spine on Brain Wave and Autonomic Nervous System Activity by Dalton Whitman, Rob Sillevis, Matthew Frommelt

“…Pupil diameter changes (<i>p</i> < 0.05) occurred in both eyes of the non-manipulation sound group and in the left eye of the audible-manipulation sound group. Brainwave activity patterns were similar in both groups. Conclusions: The presence of an audible manipulation sound is not required to produce central nervous system changes following an HVLA cervical manipulation; however, the audible manipulation sound does prolong the effects of brainwave activity, indicating a prolonged relaxation effect.…”

Mechanism of Permeability Evolution for Reservoir Sandstone with Different Physical Properties by Xianshan Liu, Ming Xu, Ke Wang

“…The results also show that the variation patterns of permeability are similar for two reservoir sandstones under combination of confining pressure and water pressure; however, the strength and permeability are smaller for the sandstone with mud than that without mud, deeply indicating that mud-like materials have a relatively great impact on the mechanical properties and permeability, so mud components cannot be ignored for prediction of reservoir permeability. …”
