We present the first measurement of individual cluster mass estimates using weak lensing size and flux magnification. Using data from the STAGES (Space Telescope A901/902 Galaxy Evolution Survey) survey of the A901/902 supercluster we detect the four known groups in the supercluster at high significance using magnification alone. We discuss the application of a fully Bayesian inference analysis, and investigate a broad range of potential systematics in the application of the method. We compare our results to a previous weak lensing shear analysis of the same field finding the recovered signal-to-noise of our magnification-only analysis to range from 45 to 110 per cent of the signal-to-noise in the shear-only analysis. On a case-by-case basis we find consistent magnification and shear constraints on cluster virial radius, and finding that for the full sample, magnification constraints to be a factor 0.77 ± 0.18 lower than the shear measurements.

Synthesis and Redox Chemistry of Co3E4 (E = P, As) Clusters.

The synthesis of the cluster complexes [(Cp'''Co)3(µ3,η2:η2:η2-E3)(µ3-E)] (E = P (3), As (4)) starting from the anionic triple-decker complexes [K(18cr6)(dme)2][(Cp'''Co)2(µ,η4:η4-E4)]- (E = P (1), As (2)) by electrophilic quenching with the Co dimer [(Cp'''CoCl)2] is reported. Both complexes show a distinct redox chemistry, which was first investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Subsequently, the monoanions [K(L)(sol)n][(Cp'''Co)3(µ3,η2:η2:η2-E3)(µ3-E)] (E = P, L = 18cr6, sol = dme, n = 2 (5), E = As, L = 2,2,2-crypt, n = 0 (6)), the monocations [(Cp'''Co)3(µ3,η2:η2:η2-E3)(µ3-E)][FAl] (E = P (7), As (8)) and the dications [(Cp'''Co)3(µ3,η3:η3:η3-E4)][TEF]2 (E = P (9), As (10)) could be realized experimentally and isolated in moderate to good yields.

A dramatic rise in obesity is caused by unhealthy eating habits combined with lower levels of physical activity, and the under nutrition problem is still unresolved. Focusing on the nutritional needs of adolescents could be a significant step toward breaking the vicious cycle of malnutrition, chronic diseases, and poverty. This study aims to assess food habit, levels of physical activity and nutritional status of adolescents in Madhyapur Thimi Municipality, Bhaktapur.

Mediating role of exercise in the relationship between body dissatisfaction and overeating using structural equation modeling.

BMC Public Health

January 2025

School of Public Health and Health Management, Gannan Medical University, University Park, Rongjiang new area, Ganzhou City, 341000, Jiangxi Province, China.

Background: With the rapid development of society, teenagers have more access to individuals with perfect bodies and are becoming more concerned about their body image. Currently, few studies assess body image and eating disorders comprehensively in China. Given the seriousness of these issues, there is an urgent need to understand the current state of body image and eating behaviors among Chinese people and formulate preventive strategies.

This study investigates the impact of the weight and centre of mass (COM) position of Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) on the subjective evaluation of users during prolonged wearing tasks. This study involved 88 participants completing 1860 sets of experiments under three conditions: sitting still, turning the head, and moving, providing subjective evaluations of wearing HMDs. A static torque testing device was used to simulate neck torque under flexion states.
