Interest in mindfulness and relationship satisfaction is increasinglygrowing. However, although partners in a relationship have mutually interacted,there are few studies exploring this from a dyadic perspective. Thus, this researchaims to investigate this dyadic association and furthermore the mediating role ofattachment-related process, attachment avoidance and anxiety via Actor-PartnerInterdependence Model. Participants of the study were 196 heterosexual collegestudent couples, 196 males' average age 21.26 (SD = 2.17), 196 females' average age20.66 (SD = 1.88), relationship length ranging from 1 month to 95 months (M = 22.25(24.67) for males, M = 20.98 (18.98) for females), approximately 36.73% of couplesin long-distance love. They were measured by the Five Facet MindfulnessQuestionnaire, a revised version of the Experience in Close RelationshipsQuestionnaire and the Intimate Relationship Quality Questionnaire. Results showedthat the actor effects of mindfulness on relationship satisfaction were significantfor both males and females, while the partner effect only displayed for males. Itrevealed a mixed dyadic pattern for males and an actor-only pattern for females.Additionally, actor-partner interdependence mediation analysis showed that actormindfulness was associated with higher relationship satisfaction directly andindirectly. Indirectly, higher actor level of mindfulness was linked to greatersecure attachment, lower attachment avoidance, and attachment anxiety, and thus tohigher relationship satisfaction. Partner mindfulness was associated with higherrelationship satisfaction only indirectly in two ways. Higher partner levels ofmindfulness were associated with secure attachment, lower partner avoidance, andself's attachment anxiety, and thus to self's higher relationship satisfaction. Thecurrent study advances our understanding of attachment in the association betweenmindfulness and relationship from a dyadic perspective.

Engaging in physical activities or spending enough time asleep could bring sufficient benefits to individuals, especially influencing their affect. The study investigated the association between physical activities or sleep and affect inertia, and explored the relationship between physical activities or sleep time and affect variability. Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), students from a Chinese university (N = 96) were asked to answer a series of questions five times a day (at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. and 8 p.m.) for 7 consecutive days to report their different kinds of temporary affect states. Each subject was asked to wear a sports bracelet, which was used to record their amount of physical activities and the length of sleep each day. Contrary to the hypothesis, the result revealed that physical activities were significantly and positively associated with the affect variability of anxiety. The relationships between sleep time and any kind of affect variability were absent. As hypothesized, physical activities were negatively associated with affect inertia of anxiety, sadness, negative affect, activeness and interest, and sleep time was negatively associated with affect inertia of depression. These relationships could be explained by the characteristics of the subjects and physiology. The results show that physical activities and enough sleep are important in people's daily life.

Communication could be an essential part of couples in their daily life. Based on Monitor and Acceptance Theory (MAT), the present study explored the mediating role of communication in the relationship between mindfulness and relationship quality among college-student couples. The research examined the dynamic relationship of monitoring and acceptance to relationship satisfaction in the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM), and the mediating effect of positive or negative communications in these relationships. A total of 96 pairs of couples in the universities in Nanjing, China participated in the research. Momentary measurements were used to measure the momentary levels of their monitor, acceptance, positive/negative communication, and relationship satisfaction. A Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM) was used to deal with the APIM. Results showed that the women's monitor facet of state mindfulness negatively predicted men's relationship satisfaction through women's negative communication, and the women's acceptance facet of state mindfulness positively predicted women's relationship satisfaction through women's positive and negative communication at the within-person level. The study highlights the importance of cooperation in monitoring and acceptance for couples to own and hold high levels of relationship satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As an important energy storage device, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in various fields due to their remarkable advantages. The high level of precision in estimating the battery's state of health greatly enhances the safety and dependability of the application process. In contrast to traditional model-based prediction methods that are complex and have limited accuracy, data-driven prediction methods, which are considered mainstream, rely on direct data analysis and offer higher accuracy. Therefore, this paper reviews how to use the latest data-driven algorithms to predict the SOH of LIBs, and proposes a general prediction process, including the acquisition of datasets for the charging and discharging process of LIBs, the processing of data and features, and the selection of algorithms. The advantages and limitations of various processing methods and cutting-edge data-driven algorithms are summarized and compared, and methods with potential applications are proposed. Effort was also made to point out their application methods and application scenarios, providing guidance for researchers in this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to study the dynamic response of parallel mountain tunnels under the oblique incidence of seismic waves, based on the display finite element method and using viscoelastic artificial boundary, the oblique incidence of three-way seismic waves was realized by angular incident mode. The displacement and stress distribution characteristics of the tunnel lining under different propagation angles and vibration angles of SV waves were studied. The results show that the oblique incidence of SV wave has a certain effect on the displacement of the double tunnel, the forces in the tunnel are symmetrical and the axis displacement increases with the increase of incident angle, and the vertical displacement changes greatly. The stress of the tunnel lining under the oblique incidence of the SV wave is elliptical. The peak value of the maximum principal stress appears at the maximum span on both sides, and the maximum principal stress decreases with the increase of the vibration angle. The maximum principal stress of the right tunnel is flat. The minimum principal stress of the left and right holes decreases with the increase of vibration angle, and the minimum principal stress of the left hole is 90°∼270°. The distribution of the minimum principal stress in the range is large. Mises stress increases with the increase of the incidence angle of seismic waves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to analyze the impact of seismic waves on the venue earthquake, based on the display finite element method, the viscoelastic artificial boundary is used to analyze the variation of the ground motion amplification coefficient and the Fourier spectrum of the raised terrain under different incident angles with SV wave oblique incidence on different slopes. This verification model analysis solution and numerical solution are better. The numerical simulation results show that as the degree of the slope increases, the seismic amplification coefficient increases, and its slope amplification coefficient changes significantly. The X direction coefficient is greater than Y's magnification coefficient. The Fourier curve with a frequency of 0.2~1 Hz increases with the slope of the raised terrain; when the El Centro is incorporated at 30°, the Fourier spectrum amplitude decreases as the incident angle increases in the low-frequency band. The amplitude of the Fourier spectrum at the high-frequency band monitoring point changes with the incident angle. In the high-frequency band from 1 to 10 Hz, the rate of amplitude change is the largest. When the incident angle is at 0°, the amplification coefficient in the Y direction is basically symmetric.

The quantum efficiency (QE) is a key parameter to evaluate the optical properties of fluorescent glass. However, it is very difficult to measure the QE at high temperatures by the integrating sphere test system. In this paper, we report a new method to calculate the QE of five kinds of Eu3+-doped glasses at different temperatures based on experimental absorption and excitation spectra of Eu3+-doped glasses. The simulated QE values agree well with the experimental values of QE. Furthermore, the influence of the shape, refractive index and temperature on the QE and the spatial light intensity distribution of the Eu3+-doped glass is studied based on the Monte Carlo method. This work presents a simple method to calculate the QE and the spatial light intensity distribution at different temperatures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
