A study on the optimal safety speed and warning sign distance for highways in windy and sandy environments based on driving behavior.
Traffic Inj Prev
January 2025
School of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering, NingXia University, YinChuan, China.
Objective: This study aims to address the issue of driving safety on highways in the desert region of Northwest China during extreme weather conditions such as sandstorms, with the goal of reducing driver risk. It explores driver behavior under extreme conditions of sandstorms and sand accumulation, proposing safety speed recommendations and warning models for different environments to calculate the optimal warning distance in windy and sandy conditions.
Methods: Natural driving simulation experiments were conducted in windy and sandy environments, collecting driving behavior data from 45 drivers under varying visibility and road conditions with or without sand accumulation.
Prediction of rain garden runoff control effects based on multiple machine learning techniques.

Due to the rapid development of urbanisation, cities frequently experience waterlogging during rainfall. Rain gardens are widely used in new urban construction because they effectively control surface runoff from rainwater, thereby reducing waterlogging. The runoff control effectiveness of rain gardens is influenced by multiple factors.

Background: Nurse managers play a critical role in disaster response and management; yet research on their experiences in earthquakes remains limited.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of nurse managers in the Kahramanmaras, Turkey, earthquakes.
Methods: A phenomenological approach was used to guide this study, exploring the lived experiences of nurse managers who worked during the 2023 earthquakes in Kahramanmaras, Turkey.
Effects of cold-water immersion on health and wellbeing: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
PLoS One
January 2025
Alliance for Research in Exercise Nutrition and Activity (ARENA), Allied Health and Human Performance, University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia.
Background: Cold-water immersion (CWI) has gained popularity as a health and wellbeing intervention among the general population.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the psychological, cognitive, and physiological effects of CWI in healthy adults.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched for randomized trials involving healthy adults aged ≥ 18 years undergoing acute or long-term CWI exposure via cold shower, ice bath, or plunge with water temperature ≤15°C for at least 30 seconds.
Unraveling Ofloxacin Behavior in Aqueous Environments: Molecular Dynamics of Colloidal Formation and Surface Adsorption Mechanisms.

January 2025
School of Chemical Engineering, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia.
Ofloxacin, a commonly prescribed antibiotic, raises serious environmental concerns due to its persistence in aquatic systems. This study offers new insights into the environmental behavior of ofloxacin and its interactions with carbon-based adsorbents with the aim of enhancing our understanding of its removal mechanisms via adsorption processes. Using a comprehensive computational approach, we analyzed the speciation, pK values, and solubility of ofloxacin across various pH conditions, accounting for all four microspecies, including the often-overlooked neutral form.
