Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created challenges that have caused profound changes in health behaviors. This study aimed to explore how COVID-19 is affecting the health-related quality of life (QoL) among Chinese adults. Methods: data behaviors and QoL were collected via online surveys from 2289 adults (mean age = 27.8 ± 12 years) who had been isolated at home for an average 77 days. Results: More than 50% respondents reported their time engaged daily...

There are various health benefits of regular physical activity (PA) and risks sedentariness. The Covid-19 pandemic may have decreased PA increased sedentariness for several reasons (e.g., closure gyms, family-related time constraints, reduced outdoor mobility). Yet, to date, there no longitudinal studies that examined whether the affects levels what factors help people remain physically active during lockdown. This study aims investigate changes in U.S. residents' (vs. before) predictors...

Highlights Deep reinforcement learning-based irrigation scheduling is proposed to determine the amount of required at each time step considering soil moisture level, evapotranspiration, forecast precipitation, and crop growth stage. The methodology was compared with traditional approaches some machine learning based on simulation. Abstract. Machine has been widely applied in many areas, promising results large potential. In this article, deep proposed. This approach can automate process...

Associations between daily physical activity (PA) and executive functioning have rarely been investigated among young adults. This study examined these associations 162 university students (74 females 88 males; mean age = 19.0, SD 1.1 years). We measured PA objectively, using hip-mounted accelerometers, assessed in a task-switching paradigm. Anthropometrics measurements were gathered standardized procedures. Through linear regression modeling, we found moderate-to-vigorous (β -0.19, 95% CI...
