8-Oct-2026 Why some people are good at math while others struggle Texas A&M University Dr. Daniel Hajovsky, associate professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at Texas A&M University, studies human intelligence and the cognitive processes that affect learning. In a study published in the Journal of Intelligence, Hajovsky and his co-authors examined the relationship between cognitive abilities and mathematics skills. The findings point to fluid reasoning and comprehension knowledge as two of the most consistent cognitive predictors of math skills. Journal Journal of Intelligence
8-Oct-2026 Why muscle health should be a bigger part of clinical nutrition Texas A&M University In a new expert review, researchers examine gaps in how muscle health is addressed in clinical nutrition and lay out a research agenda for moving the field forward. In the review, published in Clinical Nutrition, the experts draw on existing research on muscle health across aging, cancer, critical illness, diabetes and obesity to consider how muscle health can be better incorporated into clinical nutrition. Ultimately, the authors propose that “muscle health should be recognized as a central and measurable target of clinical nutrition rather than a secondary or downstream outcome.” Journal Clinical Nutrition

8-Oct-2026 As new EU requirements approach, KTU researchers propose a tool for assessing digital building models Kaunas University of Technology Manvydas Mikulėnas, a PhD student at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), supervised by Professor Lina Šeduikytė, is investigating whether digital building models contain enough data to assess whole-life carbon footprints and circularity – the potential to keep materials and components in use. As part of the research, the team developed a prototype that identifies gaps in model data. Missing information already makes climate impact calculations more difficult and could make it harder to reuse building components in the future. Journal Buildings
