In the long and complex process of geological evolution, the rise of the Himalayan movement and the strong Quaternary glacial movement 400,000 years ago have shaped the highly distinctive travertine landform landscape of Huanglong, China. The overflow of karst water in the high travertine layer has formed magnificent waterfalls and wonderful karst caves as well as the world's largest open-air travertine beaches and pools. The unique travertine landscape has entered the public's vision.

The present study analyzed the kinematic changes under fatigue in highly trained adolescent swimmers during a 50-m all-out front cwal test. Twenty-four girls and fourteen boys aged 12-13 participated in the study. The movement of the hip rim was analyzed using a specialized inertial device equipped with a triaxial gyroscope and accelerometer to measure changes in angular velocity and acceleration.

Globally, multiple trials have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of novel tools, such as the sterile and incompatible insect techniques, in suppressing Aedes aegypti populations. However, there is concern that Aedes albopictus, another arbovirus-competent vector, may occupy the niches vacated by Ae. aegypti in areas where these species occur in sympatry.

Consolidation of independent hospitals and physician practices into integrated health systems has reshaped the delivery of health care. While the literature suggests that provider consolidation raises prices, few studies have examined the interplay of health systems and insurers in relation to prices. Using negotiated price data that commercial insurers recently released under the Transparency in Coverage Final Rule, we examined the association between hospital concentration under health systems and prices for outpatient procedures in local health care markets with different levels of insurer concentration.

Flexible tactile sensors have received significant attention for use in wearable applications such as robotics, human-machine interfaces, and health monitoring. However, conventional tactile sensors face challenges in accurately measuring pressure because vertical deformation is induced by Poisson's ratio in situations where lateral strain is applied. This study shows a strain-insensitive flexible tactile sensor array without the crosstalk effect using a highly stretchable mesh.
