Summary: Negative or stressful life events are strong risk factors for depression and anxiety. This study investigated the role of positivity in buffering against negativity and predicting anxiety and depressive symptoms. The findings demonstrated that positivity protected against high levels of negativity in noninterpersonal events, while interpersonal negativity predicted higher levels of anhedonia-apprehension. The results suggest that the positivity of life events may play a buffering role in predicting symptoms shared between anxiety and depression.

Summary: College students often experience psychological distress due to intensified academic demands and changes in the social environment. This study utilized wearable devices and smartphones to continuously observe 49 first-year college students throughout an academic year and identified three student clusters with varying levels of distress and dissociations in behavior and affect. The findings showed significant changes in affect and sleep, academic, and social behavior between school semesters and breaks, as well as weekdays and weekends. Social stress was frequently reported by the cluster with the highest distress, and the frequency of reporting social stress predicted subsequent clinical symptoms. Two years later, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the same first-year cluster with the highest distress again reported frequent social stress and elevated clinical symptoms. Focusing on sustained interpersonal stress, rather than academic stress, may be especially helpful in identifying students at a heightened risk for psychopathology.

Summary: Assessing a humanitarian transportation network early after a disaster is crucial for reducing casualties. Drones are considered for the assessment operations due to their potential. However, a novel challenge arises in the drone arc routing problem where drones can travel off the road network. To address this challenge, a graph transformation technique and a robust team orienteering problem with uncertain assessment time are proposed. The problem is solved efficiently using path-based reformulation and Lagrangian decomposition, and an exact branch-and-price framework is applied.

Summary: The age-hardening behavior of the Al-7Si-0.5Mg alloy was studied with different sizes and distributions of Si phase. The specimen with fine and homogeneous Si exhibited accelerated age-hardening kinetics and higher hardness compared to the specimen with coarse and clustered Si, attributed to the higher dislocation density caused by thermal contraction mismatch. The overlapping of the plastically-affected zone of adjacent Si in the specimen with large and clustered Si resulted in reduced volume fraction of the plastically-affected zone, lower dislocation density, and slower age-hardening kinetics. The relationship between Si radius and critical inter-particle spacing for minimizing interaction and maximizing dislocation density and age-hardening kinetics was established.

Summary: This study investigated the contribution of ambient air pollutants-induced semen damage to infertility risk by identifying the dose-response relationship between pollutants and semen parameters and susceptibility window. The results showed that multiple air pollutants, including SO2, O3, PMs, and NO2, were negatively associated with progressive motility, total motility, and sperm morphology. The analysis also revealed a mediating effect of sperm normal morphology in the association between SO2 and infertility. These findings suggest that air pollutants may affect semen quality and increase the risk of infertility.
