Article Abstract
Determining the locations and sources of baseflow and the transit times of water is important for understanding catchment behaviour and functioning. Major ion geochemistry, stable isotopes (O and H), and radioisotopes (Rn, H, C, and Cl) were used to investigate the sources and transit times of water in the upper catchment of the intermittent Avoca River in southeast Australia. Rn activities and Cl concentrations implied the presence of baseflow inputs and the distribution was mainly controlled by local topography. Fluctuation of Cl concentrations implied that low-salinity near-river water was an important component of baseflow. The H activities of laterally disconnected pool waters during the summer months were 1.64 to 5.11 TU. The higher of these values exceed those of average annual rainfall (2.8-3.2 TU), probably due to the input of later winter to spring rainfall. The stream water had H activities ranging from 2.21 to 2.40 TU in July and 2.39 to 2.77 TU in August, which yield mean transit times of 4.0 to 7.0 years and 1.4 to 4.8 years respectively. These H activities were significantly higher than those of regional groundwater (H activities <0.1 TU), implying that the river is largely sustained by young near-river stores at all flow conditions. Regional groundwater had C activities of 34.0 to 98.1 pMC, which yield mean residence times of up to 12,900 years. RCl values of regional groundwater (50.9-61.9 × 10) were higher than those of modern rainfall, probably reflecting the RCl values of recharge. Similar RCl values of the pool and stream water (33.3-58.7 × 10) implied that some Cl is derived from the regional groundwater influx. As with other intermittent streams in southeast Australia, the upper Avoca River was mainly sustained by relatively small water stores, and it will be vulnerable to short-term changes in climate and land use.

This study examines Mexico's fertility transition (1930-2015) and how socioeconomic status (SES), geography, and indigeneity shaped reproductive behaviors. Using net fertility-the number of surviving children under five-we assess how prestige bias (adopting high-status fertility norms) and conformism bias (aligning with local norms) influenced change across distinct population groups. We introduce the time, space, and population model to analyze the combined effects of macrostructural forces, spatial diffusion, and individual decision-making.

Purpose: This study sought to determine the intrasession repeatability of the diffusion-weighted (DW) arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequence at different postlabel delays (PLDs).
Methods: We first performed numerical simulations to study the accuracy of the two-compartment water exchange rate (Kw) fitting model with added Gaussian noise for DW PLDs at 1500, 1800, and 2100 ms. Ten young, healthy participants then underwent a structural T scan and two intrasession in vivo DW ASL scans at each PLD on a 3T MRI.

The mechanical properties of cells are crucial for elucidating various physiological and pathological processes. Cells are found to exhibit a universal power-law rheological behavior at low frequencies. While they behave in a different manner at high frequency regimes, which leaves the transition region largely unexplored.

Background: Early secondary school students' perceptions of their social relationships in class are closely linked to their levels of motivation. However, person-centred research examining patterns of social relationships with both peers and teachers remains limited.
Aims: This study explored the existence, stability and transitions of latent profiles of students' social relationships over time, as well as their interconnectedness with students' motivation, gender, immigration background and educational track.

Background: As populations age, informal caregivers play an increasingly vital role in long-term care, with 80% of care provided by family members in Europe. However, many individuals do not immediately recognize themselves as caregivers, especially in the early stages. This lack of awareness can increase physical and emotional stress and delay access to support services.
