Introduction: Building upon the conservation of resources theory and the episodic process model of performance, this research addresses the gap in understanding how daily variations in two personal resources, particularly their interaction, affect job performance. Specifically, this study examines the influence of vigor and mindfulness on daily fluctuations in task performance considering the potential compensation effect between these personal resources in the workplace.

Methods: We conducted a five-day online diary study involving 192 participants (926 daily observations).

Article Synopsis
  • - Mass spectrometry (MS) is crucial for profiling plasma proteins and discovering disease biomarkers, but challenges arise due to the vast variety of plasma protein concentrations and technical variability in protein quantitation.
  • - The study compared the performance of two mass spectrometers, timsTOF HT and timsTOF Pro 2, revealing that timsTOF HT significantly increased the identification of plasma peptide precursors and quantifiability, especially when using the Proteograph for deep protein sampling.
  • - In an analysis of plasma samples from late-stage lung cancer patients and controls, timsTOF HT showed a notable increase in the detection of distinct plasma peptide precursors, highlighting its potential to enhance biomarker discovery in larger studies.

Purpose: The aims of this study were (a) to evaluate the convergent validity of the Language Use Inventory (LUI) with measures of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms, language, and social skills and (b) to assess discriminant validity of the LUI with measures of nonlanguage skills, including daily living skills and motor development.

Method: This study sample included participants from a longitudinal study ( = 239) of infant siblings with elevated familial likelihood of ASD and lower familial likelihood. Assessment measures completed at 36 months included the LUI, the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2), the Mullen Scales of Early Learning, and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Second Edition.
