An evaluation of front seat distance from rear facing child restraint systems in prevention of injury in frontal crash tests.

Objectives: Elevated head injury incidence in infants compared to toddlers involved as occupants in motor vehicle crashes has been demonstrated in multiple population-representative crash databases. Further, experimental studies have revealed a potential injury mechanism impact between a rear-facing, CRS-restrained child and the back of the vehicle seat or console on the row in front of the CRS. Subsequently, experimental studies have suggested that bracing the CRS against the seat immediately in front of the CRS could mitigate head injury, but also indicated that more research was necessary.

Column setting and text justification influence return-sweep eye movement behavior during Chinese multi-line reading.

People regularly read multi-line texts in different formats and publishers, internationally, must decide how to present text to make reading most effective and efficient. Relatively few studies have examined multi-line reading, and fewer still Chinese multi-line reading. Here, we examined whether texts presented in single or double columns, and either left-justified or fully-justified affect Chinese reading.

Gap-free 16-year (2005-2020) sub-diurnal surface meteorological observations across Florida.

The sub-tropical, flat, peninsular region of Florida is subject to a unique climate with extreme weather events that impact agriculture, public health, and management of natural resources. Meteorological data at high temporal resolutions especially in tropical latitudes are essential to understand diurnal and semi-diurnal variations of climate, which are considered as the fundamental modes of climate variations of our Earth system. However, many meteorological datasets contain gaps that limit their use for validation of models and further detailed observational analysis.

Prevention of postoperative stroke in pediatric moyamoya patients: a standardized perioperative care protocol.

Objective: Perioperative stroke is a major complication of revascularization surgery in patients with moyamoya. Vomiting is common after neurosurgical procedures and may result in acute changes in intracranial pressure and cerebral blood flow. The authors instituted a standardized perioperative nausea and vomiting protocol for children with moyamoya undergoing indirect bypass surgery at their institution and analyzed its association with perioperative stroke.

A meta-analytical review of the impact of mindfulness on creativity: Framing current lines of research and defining moderator variables.

Findings relating to the impact of mindfulness interventions on creative performance remain inconsistent, perhaps because of discrepancies between study designs, including variability in the length of mindfulness interventions, the absence of control groups or the tendencies to explore creativity as one unitary construct. To derive a clearer understanding of the impact that mindfulness interventions may exert on creative performance, two meta-analytical reviews were conducted, drawing respectively on studies using a control group design (n = 20) and studies using a pretest-posttest design (n = 17). A positive effect was identified between mindfulness and creativity, both for control group designs (d = 0.
