TL;DR: Yoga appears to provide a comparable improvement in stress, anxiety and health status compared to relaxation, and may be more effective than relaxation in improving mental health.

TL;DR: The results suggest fermentation processes or utilization of fermentation products may be altered in children with ASD compared to children without ASD.
Abstract: Background and Aim
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder where a high frequency of gastrointestinal disturbance (eg, constipation and diarrhea) is reported As large bowel fermentation products can have beneficial or detrimental effects on health, these were measured in feces of children with and without ASD to examine whether there is an underlying disturbance in fermentation processes in the disorder

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of plant residues on soil pH change of three soils differing in initial pH (3.9-5.1 in 0.01-M CaCl2), including Wodjil, Bodallin and Lancelin soils.
Abstract: Reports on the effect of plant residues on soil pH have been contradictory. The conflicting accounts have been suggested to result from differences in compositions and types of plant residues and characteristics of soils. This incubation study examined the effect of plant residues differing in concentrations of N (3–49 g kg−1) and of alkalinity (excess cations) (220–1560 mmol kg−1) on pH change of three soils differing in initial pH (3.9–5.1 in 0.01 M CaCl2). The addition of plant residues at a rate of 15 g kg−1 soil weight increased the pH of all soils by up to 3.4 units and the pH reached the maximum at day 42 after incubation for Wodjil (initial pH 3.87) and Bodallin (pH 4.54) soils and day 14 for Lancelin soil (pH 5.1). The amount of pH buffering was decreased by residue addition in Wodjil soil, increased in Bodallin soil and remained unchanged in Lancelin soil, which closely related to changes of soil pH. Residue addition increased NH 4 + concentration and the increase in NH 4 + concentration generally correlated positively with the concentration of residue N. The NH 4 + concentration increased with time, reached the peak at Days 42–105 for Wodjil soil, Days 14–105 for Bodallin soil and Days 14–42 for Lancelin soil, and then decreased only in Lancelin soil. The concentration of NO 3 − was kept minimal in Wodjil and Bodallin soils. In Lancelin soil, NO 3 − concentrations increased with incubation time from days 14–28. Irrespective of plant residue and incubation time, the amounts of alkalinity produced due to residue addition correlated highly with the sum of the alkalinity added as plant residues (excess cations) and those resulting from mineralization of residue N, with the slope of regression lines decreasing with increase of the initial soil pH. Direct shaking of soil with the residues at the same rate of alkalinity (excess cations) under sterile conditions increased the pH of the Wodjil soil but decreased it in the Lancelin soil. It is suggested that the decarboxylation of organic anions (as indicated by excess cations) of added plant residues and ammonification of the residue N causes soil pH increase whereas nitrification of mineralised residue nitrogen causes soil pH decrease, and that the association/dissociation of organic compounds also plays a role in soil pH change, depending initial pH of the soil. The overall effect on soil pH after addition of plant residues would therefore depend on the extent of each of these processes under given conditions.

TL;DR: The new expressions are used to prove that MIMO-MRC achieves the maximum available spatial diversity order, and to demonstrate the effect of spatial correlation.
Abstract: We consider multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmit beamforming systems with maximum ratio combining (MRC) receivers The operating environment is Rayleigh fading with both transmit and receive spatial correlation We present exact expressions for the probability density function (pdf) of the output signal-to-noise ratio, as well as the system outage probability The results are based on explicit closed-form expressions which we derive for the pdf and cumulative distribution function of the maximum eigenvalue of double-correlated complex Wishart matrices For systems with two antennas at either the transmitter or the receiver, we also derive exact closed-form expressions for the symbol-error rate The new expressions are used to prove that MIMO-MRC achieves the maximum available spatial diversity order, and to demonstrate the effect of spatial correlation The analysis is validated through comparison with Monte Carlo simulations
