Theory of mind development: State of the science and future directions.

Author(s): Poulin-Dubois D

This chapter offers a brief overview of how research on theory of mind development has developed over the recent years, with a focus on current research and theoretical accounts of theory of mind during the infancy period. The topics covered include the factors contributing to individual differences in theory of mind skills in preschoolers, the current re ...

Temperature drives caste-specific morphological clines in ants.

Author(s): Brassard F, Francoeur A, Lessard JP

1. The morphology of organisms relates to most aspects of their life history and autecology. As such, elucidating the drivers of morphological variation along environmental gradients might give insight into processes limiting species distributions. In eusocial organisms, the concept of morphology is more complex than in solitary organisms. Eusocial insect ...

A novel homozygous variant in TRAPPC2L results in a neurodevelopmental disorder and disrupts TRAPP complex function.

Author(s): Al-Deri N, Okur V, Ahimaz P, Milev M, Valivullah Z, Hagen J, Sheng Y, Chung W, Sacher M, Ganapathi M

BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing has facilitated the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders with variable and non-specific clinical findings. Recently, a homozygous missense p.(Asp37Tyr) variant in TRAPPC2L, a core subunit of TRAPP complexes which function as tethering factors during mem ...

Acceleration mechanism of bioavailable Fe(Ⅲ) on Te(IV) bioreduction of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1: Promotion of electron generation, electron transfer and energy level.

Author(s): He Y, Guo J, Song Y, Chen Z, Lu C, Han Y, Li H, Hou Y, Zhao R

The release of highly toxic tellurite into the aquatic environment poses significant environmental risks. The acceleration mechanism and tellurium nanorods (TeNPs) characteristics with bioavailable ferric citrate (Fe(III)) were investigated in the tellurite (Te(IV)) bioreduction. Experiments showed that 5?mM Fe(III) increased the Te(IV) bioreduction rate ...

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface of bis-(2-amino-pyridinium) hexa-chlorido-stannate(IV).

Author(s): Ghallab R, Boutebdja M, Dénès G, Merazig H

In the title mol-ecular salt, (C5H7N2)2[SnCl6], the cation is protonated at the pyridine N atom and the complete dianion is generated by a crystallographic centre of symmetry. In the crystal, N-H?Cl hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network built up from the stacking of alternate cationic and anionic layers. The nature of the int ...

Inhibitory potentials of Cymbopogon citratus oil against aluminium-induced behavioral deficits and neuropathology in rats.

Author(s): Temitayo GI, Olawande B, Emmanuel YO, Timothy AT, Kehinde O, Susan LF, Ezra L, Joseph OO

Cymbopogon citratus is a tropical phytomedicinal plant that is widely known for its hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anxiolytic, sedative, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we have examined the neuroprotective effects of the essential oil (ESO) of Cymbopogon citratus, following aluminum chloride (AlCl3)-induced neurotoxicity withi ...

Beyond the Usual Suspects and Towards Politicisation: Immigration in Quebec's Party Manifestos, 1991-2018.

Author(s): Xhardez C, Paquet M

Immigration is increasingly politicised: issues surrounding immigration are more salient and party immigration positions are becoming more polarised. Literature on this topic has overwhelmingly focused on Europe and the USA, while identifying radical right parties and particular social dynamics as the main drivers of politicisation. In this paper, we cons ...

Comparing perturbation models for evaluating stability of neuroimaging pipelines.

Author(s): Kiar G, de Oliveira Castro P, Rioux P, Petit E, Brown ST, Evans AC, Glatard T

With an increase in awareness regarding a troubling lack of reproducibility in analytical software tools, the degree of validity in scientific derivatives and their downstream results has become unclear. The nature of reproducibility issues may vary across domains, tools, data sets, and computational infrastructures, but numerical instabilities are though ...

Volatility spillover around price limits in an emerging market

Author(s): Aktas OU; Kryzanowski L; Zhang J;

The intraday volatility effects of price-limit hits for stocks in the BIST-50 index during a volatile period are examined. Our evidence supports the volatility no-effect, dampening and spillover hypotheses depending on whether the lower or upper price limit is hit and on when the hit begins and ends. Post-hit volatilities tend to be lower for limit hits n ...

The contribution of dry indoor built environment on the spread of Coronavirus: Data from various Indian states.

Author(s): V AAR, R V, Haghighat F

Coronavirus spread is more serious in urban metropolitan cities compared to rural areas. It is observed from the data on the infection rate available in the various sources that the cold and dry conditions accelerate the spread of coronavirus. In the present work, the existing theory of respiratory droplet drying is used to propose the mechanism of virus ...

The COVID-19 pandemic: model-based evaluation of non-pharmaceutical interventions and prognoses.

Author(s): De Visscher A

An epidemiological model for COVID-19 was developed and implemented in MATLAB/GNU Octave for use by public health practitioners, policy makers, and the general public. The model distinguishes four stages in the disease: infected, sick, seriously sick, and better. The model was preliminarily parameterized based on observations of the spread of the disease. ...
