Aim: To determine reference values and propose prediction equations for respiratory muscle strength, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), and endurance by means of maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) in healthy Brazilian adults.
Methods: Anthropometric data, level of physical activity, pulmonary function, and respiratory muscle strength and maximal voluntary ventilation of 243 participants (111 men and 132 women) aged 20 to 80 years were assessed at three cities in the southeast and northeast region of Brazil.
Results: Mean maximal respiratory pressures and MVV were higher in men (MIP = 111.0 ± 28.0; MEP = 149.6 ± 40.3; MVV = 150.6 ± 35.2) than in women (MIP = 87.9 ± 17.6; MEP = 106.7 ± 25.2; MVV = 103.4 ± 23.2; all p < 0.05). Based on regression models, the following prediction equations were proposed for men: MIP = 137-0.57 (age), R2 = 0.13, standard error of estimate (SEE) = 26.11; MEP = 179.9-0.67 x (age), R2 = 0.08, SEE = 38.54; and MVV = 206.3-1.18 x (age), R2 = 0.36, SEE = 28.08. Prediction equations were also proposed for women: MIP = 107.3-0.4 x (age), R2 = 0.16, SEE = 16.10; MEP = 127.4-0.43 x (age), R2 = 0.08, SEE = 24.09; and MVV = 146.3-0.86 x (age), R2 = 0.42, SEE = 17.56.
Conclusion: Reference values for MIP, MEP, and MVV were determined in healthy Brazilian adults. Results from different Brazilian regions provided adequate prediction equations considering an ethnically heterogeneous population.

Assessment of resilient modulus of soil using hybrid extreme gradient boosting models.

Accurate estimation of the soil resilient modulus (M) is essential for designing and monitoring pavements. However, experimental methods tend to be time-consuming and costly; regression equations and constitutive models usually have limited applications, while the predictive accuracy of some machine learning studies still has room for improvement. To forecast M efficiently and accurately, a new model named black-winged kite algorithm-extreme gradient boosting (BKA-XGBOOST) is proposed.

Recently, RNA velocity has driven a paradigmatic change in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies, allowing the reconstruction and prediction of directed trajectories in cell differentiation and state transitions. Most existing methods of dynamic modeling use ordinary differential equations (ODE) for individual genes without applying multivariate approaches. However, this modeling strategy inadequately captures the intrinsically stochastic nature of transcriptional dynamics governed by a cell-specific latent time across multiple genes, potentially leading to erroneous results.

Temperate forests cover 25% of the world's forest area and most of them are managed for timber production. To increase yields, native deciduous trees have been commonly replaced by fast-growing conifers, especially in Western and Central Europe. Despite the importance of forest soils for a variety of ecosystem functions, the effects of forest management intensity on soil biological processes have not yet been sufficiently understood.

Lipases are triacylglycerol hydrolases with various potential applications because of their different physical properties. Most lipase producers are extracellular in nature and are created using solid-state fermentation and submerged fermentation methods. The fungal, mycelial, and yeast lipases are produced using various solid substrates through the solid-state fermentation method.
