Article Synopsis
- Psychological wellbeing is crucial for public health, especially among university students who will shape society's future.
- Direct and transfer students face unique challenges during their transition from secondary or community colleges to university, but the factors influencing their coping and satisfaction levels are largely unknown.
- A study involving 978 direct entrants and 841 transfer entrants utilized a modified questionnaire and various data analysis methods, revealing that transfer students generally experienced more difficulties adjusting compared to direct entrants and highlighting the need for collaborative efforts to enhance student experiences during this transition.

Advances in next-generation sequencing and high-throughput techniques have enabled the generation of vast amounts of diverse omics data. These big data provide an unprecedented opportunity in biology, but impose great challenges in data integration, data mining, and knowledge discovery due to the complexity, heterogeneity, dynamics, uncertainty, and high-dimensionality inherited in the omics data. Network has been widely used to represent relations between entities in biological system, such as protein-protein interaction, gene regulation, and brain connectivity (i.

Human telomeres are several kilobases of repeated (TTAGGG)(n) sequences at the ends of chromosomes, a short fragment of which is lost with each cell division. This shortening serves as a "mitotic clock" which limits the number of divisions that a normal somatic cell can undergo. Cells undergoing continuous division need some method of bypassing this clock.

Department of Economics, The University of Northern Iowa, CBA 0129, Cedar Falls, IA 50614-0129, USA.
We used 1990 Census data to compare the matching behaviors of four types of cohabiting couples: same-sex male couples, same-sex female couples, opposite-sex unmarried couples, and married couples. In general, we found evidence of positive assortative mating for all traits and across all types of couples. The positive assortative mating, however, is stronger for non-labor-market traits (e.
