Background The alexithymia trait is of high clinical interest.The Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire (PAQ) was recently developed to enable detailed facet-level and valence-specific assessments of alexithymia.Aims In this paper, we introduce the first Chinese version of the PAQ and examine its psychometric properties and clinical applications.Methods
An evapotranspiration (ET) ensemble composed of 36 land surface model (LSM) experiments and four diagnostic datasets (GLEAM, ALEXI, MOD16, and FLUXNET) is used to investigate uncertainties in ET estimate over five climate regions in West Africa.Diagnostic ET datasets show lower uncertainty estimates and smaller seasonal variations than the LSM-base
This article dicusses informed consent (IC): its evolution, its main challenges, and its theoretical assumptions.This process involves the interrelation of IC with the history and evolution of research ethics, and with some abuses committed in biomedical research.The article also presents the Wooden Frame LED Night Light objections to IC, especiall
Large plant breeding populations are traditionally a source of novel allelic diversity and are at the core of selection efforts for elite material.Finding rare diversity requires a deep understanding of biological interactions between the genetic makeup of one genotype and its environmental conditions.Most modern breeding programs still rely on lin
