A hybrid Harris Hawks Optimization with Support Vector Regression for air quality forecasting by Essam H. Houssein, Meran Mohamed, Eman M. G. Younis, Waleed M. Mohamed

“…In order to assess the efficacy of the suggested HHO-SVR forecasting model, we employ metrics such as Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Average, Standard Deviation (SD), Best Fit, Worst Fit, and CPU time. Additionally, we contrast our methodology with recently created models that have been published in the literature, such as the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA), Henry Gas Solubility Optimization (HGSO), Barnacles Mating Optimizer (BMO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), and Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO). …”

The Role of Health Anxiety among Patients with Chronic Pain in Determining Response to Therapy by Heather D Hadjistavropoulos, Gordon JG Asmundson, Diane L LaChapelle, Allisson Quine

“…The regression analyses also revealed a consistent trend for an interaction between HA and instructional set; when those with higher HA reduced their pain behaviour, they subsequently reported greater anxiety, and more somatic sensations and catastrophic thoughts than when they carried out the session as they normally would. In contrast, only those with lower HA had a tendency to benefit from reducing pain behaviour, reporting lower state anxiety and fewer somatic sensations during the session than those who did not reduce their pain behaviour. …”

Sex-specific influences of APOEε4 genotype on hippocampal neurogenesis and progenitor cells in middle-aged rats by Bonnie H. Lee, Melike Cevizci, Stephanie E. Lieblich, Liisa A. M. Galea

“…Compared to healthy controls, male rats with hAPOEε4 genotype showed reduced neural stem cell-like cells and new adult-born brain cells and increased microglia (marker of inflammation in the brain) at middle age. In contrast, female rats with hAPOEε4 genotype showed increased new adult-born neurons, but no changes in the other cell types, suggesting a possible compensatory response to the effects of hAPOEε4 at this time point. …”
