The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) gas-phase database is a compilation of quantitative experimental (5, 25, and 50 °C) infrared spectra of 500 molecules, designed for , standoff or remote sensing of gases and vapors at or near atmospheric pressure. The data are characterized by calibration on both the wavenumber and intensity axes. Recent papers have called into question the PNNL intensity values for isobutane, [2-methylpropane, HC(CH)], suggesting discrepancies of 30-40%. In this study, we remeasure and re-examine the intensity values of isobutane using both similar and alternate methods to those used to generate the original PNNL database spectra. Indirect confirmation from literature data of homologous molecules and direct confirmation from new results confirm that for many band integrals across the isobutane spectrum, the original PNNL data are indeed accurate to within the reported 3% experimental uncertainty.

Introduction: People with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases are advised to do aerobic exercise for symptom relief and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Continuous exercise at an intensity causing a rate of perceived exertion of 15, on a 6-20-point Borg scale, exemplifies such exercise. Also, the instruction "Now you need to increase your heart rate" is used before aerobic exercise.

Objectives: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important factor affecting the stage and prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study is to explore the predictive value of the stacking ensemble learning model based on F-FDG PET/CT radiomic features and clinical risk factors for LNM in lung adenocarcinoma, and elucidate the biological basis of predictive features through pathological analysis.
Methods: Ninety patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed and randomly divided into the training and testing sets in a 7:3 ratio.

Introduction: This study examined the impacts of different negative pressure cupping therapies (PCT) on pain relief, functional recovery, and inflammatory regulation in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after high-intensity exercise, with the aim of clarifying the dose-effect relationship.
Methods: In this study, 55 healthy male participants aged 18-25 were selected and divided into 5 groups: the control group (CTR; = 11) and NPCT groups at different levels (-25 kPa, -35 kPa, -45 kPa, and -55 kPa; = 11 in each group). A high-intensity protocol, which included 6 sets of lunges, squats, and squat jumps, was adopted to induce DOMS in the quadriceps femoris.

Objectives: To develop a novel risk score (RS) model to predict the probability of progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) (CRPC) after intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for patients with high- and very high-risk PCa according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk classification, since accurate prediction of the clinical outcome of definitive radiation therapy for patients with high- and very high-risk PCa remains challenging due to its heterogeneity.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 600 patients with high- and very high-risk PCa treated with IMRT at our institution. They were randomly divided into discovery (n = 300) and validation (n = 300) cohorts.

Sweating is a vital thermoregulatory mechanism in humans for maintaining thermal balance during exercise and exposure to hot environments. The development of models that predict sweat rate based on body temperature has been ongoing for over half a century. Here, we compared predicted water loss rates (WLR) from these models to actual observations collected during 780 participant-exposures in three independent laboratory-based experiments.
