First formant (F1) trajectories of vocalic intervals were divided into positive and negative dynamics. Positive F1 dynamics were defined as the speeds of F1 increases to reach the maxima, and negative F1 dynamics as the speeds of F1 decreases away from the maxima. Mean, standard deviation, and sequential variability were measured for both dynamics. Results showed that measures of negative F1 dynamics explained more between-speaker variability, which was highly congruent with a previous study using intensity dynamics [He and Dellwo (2017). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 141, EL488-EL494]. The results may be explained by speaker idiosyncratic articulation.

Parental burnout is a prominent topic in current family research, with proven detrimental effects on the well-being of both parents and children. However, the specific mechanism by which parenting burnout impacts the parent-child relationship within families remains unclear. Furthermore, there is limited research exploring whether parenting burnout has a direct impact on the parent-child relationship.

Polymyxins, critical last-resort antibiotics, impact the distribution of membrane-bound divalent cations in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. We employed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to model the effect of displacing these ions. Two polymyxin-sensitive and two polymyxin-resistant models of the outer membrane of were investigated.

Insomnia disorder is a significant global health concern. This research aimed to explore the pathogenesis of insomnia disorder using static and dynamic degree centrality methods at the voxel level. A total of 29 patients diagnosed with insomnia disorder and 28 healthy controls were ultimately included to examine differences in degree centrality between the two groups.

Plant root and soil-associated microbiomes are influenced by niches, including bulk and rhizosphere soil. In this work, we collected bulk and rhizosphere soil samples at four potato developmental stages (leaf growth, flowering, tuber elongation and harvest) to identify whether rhizosphere microbiota are structured in a growth stage-dependent manner. The bacterial and fungal microbiota showed significant temporal differences in the rhizosphere and bulk soil.

Printing of large-area solar panels necessitates advanced organic solar cells with thick active layers. However, increasing the active layer thickness typically leads to a marked drop in the power conversion efficiency. Here we developed an organic semiconductor regulator, called AT-β2O, to tune the crystallization sequence of the components in active layers.
