Just like fingerprints, your breathing patterns may serve as a definitive identifier. In a recent study, scientists have demonstrated an astonishing 96.8% accuracy in identifying individuals based on their respiratory patterns. This revelation could open up new possibilities in biometrics and personalized health monitoring. The notion of using individual breathing patterns as a distinct biological signature has long been a topic of discussion within the respiratory science community, yet a practical method for measurement remained elusive. This changed with the invention of a tiny, wearable device capable of extended recording. Researchers deployed a lightweight tube designed to fit inside
In most cities, food waste is often regarded as one of the most troublesome types of waste: it has a high moisture content, spoils easily and produces strong odors. If not handled properly, it can cause serious sanitation and environmental problems. From the perspective of the circular economy, however, food waste is not “useless leftovers,” but rather an organic resource that has yet to be effectively utilized. The core principle of the circular economy is to break away from the linear model of “production–consumption–disposal,” allowing resources to circulate repeatedly within a system and extending their useful life. Food waste occupies a
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日) The study also uncovered a correlation between breathing patterns and mental well-being. Participants with higher scores on anxiety questionnaires exhibited shorter inhalation periods and more frequent breath pauses during sleep. “We intuitively assume that how depressed or anxious you are changes the way you breathe,” says one researcher involved in the study. “But it might be the other way around.” If this proves true, then training people to adjust their breathing may offer a novel approach to managing conditions like anxiety or depression. 該項研究也揭露了呼吸模式與心理健康之間的關聯。在焦慮問卷得分較高的受試者於睡眠期間表現出的吸氣時間較為短促、呼吸中止更為頻繁。一位參與研究的學者表示：「我們直覺地認為憂鬱或焦慮的程度會改變你的呼吸方式，但有可能是反過來的情況。」如果這一假設得到證實，那麼訓練人們調整呼吸的方式，可能會成為管理焦慮或憂鬱等疾病的新穎方法。 What Did You Learn? 1. What problem did scientists previously face when trying to measure breathing patterns? 2.
