The Correlation between the MBTI-Based Personality Analysis of Anime Characters and Their Popularity.

Anime has become a global phenomenon due to its diverse cultural representations, relatable characters, and unique storytelling. However, there is limited research on the relationship between character personality and popularity. The aim of this study is to understand the relevance of the characters' personalities to the audience's evaluation of various characters.

Phylogeny and genetic variations of the three genome compartments in haptophytes shed light on the rapid evolution of coccolithophores.

Haptophyte algae, including coccolithophores, play key roles in global carbon cycling and ecosystem. They exhibit exceptional morphological and functional diversity. However, their phylogeny is mostly based on short markers and genome researches are always limited to few species, hindering a better understanding about their evolution and diversification.

The Stiffness Behavior of Asphalt Mixtures with Different Compactness under Variable Confinement.

The dynamic modulus is a key property determining the short- and long-term performance of asphalt pavement, and its strong dependence on confining pressure and material density (mixture compactness) has been clearly indicated in the literature. It is always challenging to reproduce three-dimensional in situ stress conditions in the laboratory. To alleviate this difficulty, in this study, a convenient experimental setup was developed, in which the lateral confinement was made present and variable as a concomitant reaction of the surrounding materials to the vertical loading.
