Posttraumatic stress disorder in disaster-exposed youth: examining diagnostic concordance and model fit using ICD-11 and DSM-5 criteria by BreAnne A. Danzi, Ellen A. Knowles, Rachel C. Bock

“…Conclusions Using the ITQ-CG and RI-5 to assess PTSD in youth, results showed higher PTSD diagnostic rates for ICD-11 than DSM-5; this contradicts prior findings (based off approximated ICD-11 criteria) and seems largely due to differences in symptom thresholds used by the two measures. …”

A Deep Learning Biomimetic Milky Way Compass by Yiting Tao, Michael Lucas, Asanka Perera, Samuel Teague, Timothy McIntyre, Titilayo Ogunwa, Eric Warrant, Javaan Chahl

“…The comparison results show that for short-term navigation, the segmented MW image can be used as a reliable orientation cue. There is a difference of roughly 5–10° between the proposed method and GT as the path involves left or right 90° turns at certain locations.…”

Stratified Assessment of Urban Low-Carbon Travel Potential by Keyuan DING, Yan ZHANG, Xu ZHOU, Hai-Xu GUO, Ran PENG

“…Based on this, the corresponding low-carbon travel potential values are calculated. The method then further analyses the trend of these values as the residents’ acceptable thresholds for non-motorised travel distances and acceptable intensity for public transportation travel connection, delay and transfer change. …”

Effect of Systematic Errors on Building Component Sound Insulation Measurements Using Near-Field Acoustic Holography by Wei Xiong, Wuying Chen, Zhixin Li, Heyu Zhu, Xueqiang Wang

“…After applying the proposed correction method, the NAH measurement results of the domestic microphone array are highly consistent with the weighted sound insulation measured by the standard method, and the measurement difference in the key frequency band is less than 1.0 dB, which significantly improves the reliability and applicability of low-cost equipment in engineering applications. …”

Detection of Small-Scale Subsurface Echoes Using Lunar Radar Sounder and Surface Scattering Simulations with a DEM Generated Using a Generative Adversarial Network by Hitoshi Nozawa, Junichi Haruyama, Atsushi Kumamoto, Takahiro Iwata, Kosei Toyokawa, James W. Head, Roberto Orosei

“…Surface scattering simulations incorporating incoherent scattering from sub-resolution roughness were performed using a high-resolution digital elevation model generated by a generative adversarial network. Detection thresholds for subsurface echo candidates (SECs) were determined from the histograms of difference intensities between LRS and simulation B-scans. …”

Nonlinear Dynamical Model and Analysis of Emotional Propagation Based on Caputo Derivative by Liang Hong, Lipu Zhang

“…The fractional-order term quantifies power-law memory decay in affective states, while the nonlinear component regulates connection strength through emotional difference thresholds. Mathematical analysis establishes the existence and uniqueness of solutions with continuous dependence on initial conditions and proves the local asymptotic stability of network equilibria (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msubsup><mi>W</mi><mrow><mi>i</mi><mi>j</mi></mrow><mo>*</mo></msubsup><mo>=</mo><mstyle scriptlevel="0" displaystyle="true"><mfrac><mn>1</mn><mi>δ</mi></mfrac></mstyle><msup><mrow><mi>sec</mi><mi mathvariant="normal">h</mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msup><mrow><mo>(</mo><mo>∥</mo></mrow><msub><mi mathvariant="normal">E</mi><mi>i</mi></msub><mo>−</mo><msub><mi mathvariant="normal">E</mi><mi>j</mi></msub><mrow><mo>∥</mo><mo>)</mo></mrow></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, e.g., <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>W</mi><mo>*</mo></msup><mo>≈</mo><mn>1.40</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> under typical parameters <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>η</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>0.5</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>δ</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>0.3</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>). …”
