Coastal areas of the Arctic and Subarctic are vulnerable to accidental oil spills, impacting the ecosystem, society, and economy. This article provides a comprehensive overview of oil spill pollution issues in cold regions, focusing on environmental impacts, oil transport and fate, coastal/shoreline response measures, and the state of current internationa ...

We consider a general class of autocatalytic reactions, which has been shown to display stochastic switching behaviour (discreteness-induced transitions (DITs)) in some parameter regimes. This behaviour was shown to occur either when the overall species count is low or when the rate of inflow and outflow of species is relatively much smaller than the rate ...

This diary study sought to examine the direct and indirect effects of individuals' perceptions of supervisor support and workload during a work week (week 1) on their well-being, satisfaction, and performance at work during the following work week (week 2) as mediated through the quality of their weekend work recovery experiences (psychological detach ...

This article proposes a novel deep clustering model based on the variational autoencoder (VAE), named GamMM-VAE, which can learn latent representations of training data for clustering in an unsupervised manner. Most existing VAE-based deep clustering methods use the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) as a prior on the latent space. We employ a more flexible asy ...

A novel multi-signal functional material consisting of Hematin, Fe, and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) was successfully constructed (Hematin@Fe/GMP) to enhance denitrification efficiency based on the signal network regulation of electron transfer, micromolar Fe utilization, and microbial community. Hematin@Fe/GMP enhanced nitrate reduction rate by 2.33-fol ...

Space flights can produce physiological changes in the spine, leading to the development of acute and chronic pain in passengers. However, there is a lack of comprehensive literature exploring physiological spine changes and acute and chronic pain in space passengers (astronauts and animals). The ...

Electrochemical water splitting, with its oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), is undoubtedly the most eco-friendly and sustainable method to produce hydrogen. However, water splitting still requires improvement due to the high energy consumption caused by the slow kinetics and large thermodynamic potential requirements o ...

This study utilized piecewise linear growth mixture analysis to examine the developmental heterogeneity of school burnout among a sample of 513 (67.6% females) Finnish students as they transitioned from upper secondary school to higher education (ages 17-25 years). Encompassing five measurement points (two before the transition and three after), our resul ...

Assessing early vocabulary development commonly involves parent report methods and behavioral tasks like looking-while-listening. While both yield reliable aggregate scores, findings are mixed regarding their reliability in measuring infants' knowledge of individual words. Using archival data from 126 monolingual and bilingual 14-31-month-olds, we fur ...
