The prospective associations of 24-hour movement behaviors and domain-specific activities with executive function and academic achievement among school-aged children in Singapore by Padmapriya, Natarajan, Bernard, Jonathan Y., Tan, Sarah Yi Xuan, Chu, Anne H. Y., Goh, Claire Marie Jie Lin, Tan, Shuen Lin, Shek, Lynette P., Chong, Yap Seng, Tan, Kok Hian, Chan, Shiao-Yng, Yap, Fabian, Godfrey, Keith M., Lee, Yung Seng, Meaney, Michael J., Eriksson, Johan G., Tan, Chuen Seng, Law, Evelyn C., Müller-Riemenschneider, Falk

“…Background: Physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep are collectively referred to as 24-h movement behaviors, which may be linked to cognitive development in children. However, most of the evidence was based on cross-sectional studies and/or solely relied on parent-reported information on children’s behaviors, and it remains uncertain whether all domains/contexts of PA and SB are similarly associated with executive function and academic achievement. …”

Performance Guarantees for Spectral Initialization in Rotation Averaging and Pose-Graph SLAM by Doherty, Kevin J., Rosen, David M., Leonard, John J.

“…Our results reveal the critical role that spectral graph-theoretic properties of the measurement network play in controlling estimation accuracy; moreover, as a by-product of our analysis we obtain new bounds on the estimation error for the maximum likelihood estimators in SLAM and RA, which are likely to be of independent interest. Finally, we show experimentally that our spectral estimator is very effective in practice, producing initializations of comparable or superior quality at lower computational cost compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques.…”

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) can be suppressed under ammonia-stressed condition - reevaluate the role of conductive materials by Yan, Wangwang, Mukherjee, Manisha, Zhou, Yan

“…It is revealed that ZVI effectively promoted all AD reactions, especially the energy unfavorable propanoate and butanoate metabolism and overall methanogenesis. In addition, ZVI likely acted as intracellular electron shuttles, and the conjunction point of ZVI to electron transfer system was identified as EtfAB: quinone oxidoreductase. …”
