Oil Prices Surge as Geopolitical Risk and Crude Demand Both Rise

Oilprice.com 

Crude Oil Market: Key Drivers Behind This Week's Price Surge Light crude oil futures have climbed 2.12% this week, driven by a mix of bullish factors. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, an unexpectedly large draw in U.S. crude inventories, and optimistic forecasts for summer fuel demand have all contributed to pushing prices higher. As traders assess these developments against the backdrop of OPEC+ supply management and steady U.S. production growth, the oil market remains finely balanced between supply constraints and recovering demand.

Deep learning-based stress detection for daily life use using single-channel EEG and GSR in a virtual reality interview paradigm

Plos.org 

by Hun-gyeom Kim, Solwoong Song, Baek Hwan Cho, Dong Pyo Jang

This research aims to establish a practical stress detection framework by integrating physiological indicators and deep learning techniques. Utilizing a virtual reality (VR) interview paradigm mirroring real-world scenarios, our focus is on classifying stress states through accessible single-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) data. Thirty participants underwent stress-inducing VR interviews, with biosignals recorded for deep learning models. Читать дальше...

Babesia is a tick-transmitted parasite that infects wild and domestic animals, causes babesiosis in humans, and is an increasing public health concern. Here, we investigated the prevalence and molecular characteristics of Babesia infections in the rodents in Southeastern Shanxi, China. Small rodents were captured, and the liver and spleen tissues were used for Babesia detection using traditional PCR and sequencing of the partial 18S rRNA gene. Читать дальше...

Equations for estimating binary mixture toxicity: 3-methyl-2-butanone with a series of electrophiles

Plos.org 

by Douglas A. Dawson, Terry W. Schultz

Mixture toxicity was determined for 32 binary combinations. One chemical was the non-reactive, non-polar narcotic 3-methyl-2-butanone (always chemical A) and the other was a potentially reactive electrophile (chemical B). Bioluminescence inhibition in Allovibrio fischeri was measured at 15-, 30-, and 45-minutes of exposure for A, B, and the mixture (MX). Concentration-response curves (CRCs) were developed for each chemical and used to develop predicted... Читать дальше...
