Individual differences in effects of stressful life events on childhood ADHD: genetic, neural, and familial contributions

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 788-800, May 2026.
Background This study elucidates the intricate relationship between stressful life events and the development of ADHD symptoms in children, acknowledging the considerable variability in individual responses. By examining these differences, we aim to uncover the unique combinations of factors contributing to varying levels of vulnerability and ...

Cryptic Diversity and Genetic Variation in a Korean Endemic Freshwater Fish, the Korean Dark Chub (Zacco koreanus) Compared With Its Relative Zacco temminckii

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The phylogenetic relationship analyses revealed four distinct lineages within Zacco koreanus, with the Nakdong and Seomjin River populations showing approximately 2.6% genetic divergence from other lineages—comparable to the interspecific distance between Z. koreanus and Z. temminckii (~2.7%).

Population Genetic Differences Between Two Cucurbit Leaf Beetles With Contrasting Feeding Preferences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The study revealed that the polyphagous A. indica exhibits higher genetic diversity, lower differentiation, and higher gene flow than the oligophagous A. lewisii, with these differences attributed to their distinct dietary preferences. A. lewisii populations showed significant isolation‐by‐distance, whereas A.

Systematic Literature Review of Meta-heuristic Algorithms and their Application in Procedural Content Generation (PCG) in the Context of Computer Games

Abstract This study investigated the use of metaheuristics and algorithms inspired by nat- ural processes to determine optimal solutions for procedural content generation (PCG) for the automatic creation of video game content. A systematic review of studies published between 2007 and 2023 was conducted to analyze the use of metaheuristics in ...

Toward Genuine Efficiency and Cluster Robustness of Preconditioned CG‐Like Eigensolvers

Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The locally optimal block preconditioned conjugate gradient (LOBPCG) method is a popular solver for large and sparse Hermitian eigenvalue problems. However, recently proposed alternatives for its single‐vector version LOPCG indicate certain problematic cases with less accurate preconditioners and clustered target eigenvalues.
