Associations of long-term Tai Chi practice with vascular health in middle-aged and older adults: potential indirect roles of inflammation and oxidative stress - a cross-sectional study

Tai Chi is a widely practiced mind-body exercise, but its associations with vascular health and the potential involvement of inflammation and oxidative stress remain unclear. We hypothesized that, compared with irregular exercise, long-term Tai Chi practice would be associated wi...

Tree-like pairwise interaction networks

Abstract Modeling feature interactions in tabular data remains a key challenge in predictive modeling, for example, as used for insurance pricing. This paper proposes the tree-like pairwise interaction network (PIN), a novel neural network architecture that explicitly captures pa...

Synergetic Enhancement in Thermoelectric Performance via Localized Magnetic Moments and Lattice Softening

ABSTRACT Magnetism‐assisted transport is achieved in Mn‐containing SnSe magnetic nanocomposites, where superparamagnetic MnSe nanoprecipitates are introduced to modulate both carrier and phonon scattering. Transmission electron microscopy reveals well‐dispersed 5–10 nm MnSe inclu...
