A person-centered perspective on the factors associated with the work recovery process.

Author(s): Gillet N, Morin AJS, Mokounkolo R, Réveillère C, Fouquereau E

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This research identified profiles characterized by distinct levels of overcommitment, rumination, psychological detachment (Studies 1 and 2), and need for recovery (Study 2). This research also considers the role of hindrance demands and resources in the prediction of profile membership, and the outcomes of these profiles. MET ...

Leader emergence and affective empathy: A dynamic test of the dual-hormone hypothesis

Author(s): Vongas JG; Al Hajj R; Fiset J;

Personal distress is a building block of empathy, yet has received scant attention in studies of individual differences in leadership. We investigate whether the effect of leader emergence on men's distress is influenced by their personalized power motive (p Power) and changes in their testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) levels. In an experiment invol ...

Experimental Setup for Investigating the Efficient Load Balancing Algorithms on Virtual Cloud

Author(s): Alankar B; Sharma G; Kaur H; Valverde R; Chang V;

Cloud computing has emerged as the primary choice for developers in developing applications that require high-performance computing. Virtualization technology has helped in the distribution of resources to multiple users. Increased use of cloud infrastructure has led to the challenge of developing a load balancing mechanism to provide optimized use of r ...

Loss of Arp1, a putative actin-related protein, triggers filamentous and invasive growth and impairs pathogenicity in Candida albicans.

Author(s): Yao S, Feng Y, Islam A, Shrivastava M, Gu H, Lu Y, Sheng J, Whiteway M, Feng J

The polymorphous cellular shape of Candida albicans, in particular the transition from a yeast to a filamentous form, is crucial for either commensalism or life-threatening infections of the host. Various external or internal stimuli, including serum and nutrition starvation, have been shown to regulate filamentous growth primarily through two classical ...

Using intracellular plasmonics to characterize nanomorphology in human cells.

Author(s): Sohrabi Kashani A, Piekny A, Packirisamy M

Determining the characteristics and localization of nanoparticles inside cells is crucial for nanomedicine design for cancer therapy. Hyperspectral imaging is a fast, straightforward, reliable, and accurate method to study the interactions of nanoparticles and intracellular components. With a hyperspectral image, we could collect spectral information co ...

Neural correlates of resilience to the effects of hippocampal atrophy on memory.

Author(s): Belleville S, Mellah S, Cloutier S, Dang-Vu TT, Duchesne S, Maltezos S, Phillips N, Hudon C, CIMA-Q group

INTRODUCTION: Cognitive reserve can be defined as a property of the brain that enables an individual to sustain cognitive performance in spite of age-related neural changes. This study uses brain imaging to identify which cognitive reserve mechanisms protect against the detrimental effect of hi ...

Phase Diagram for a Lysyl-Phosphatidylglycerol Analogue in Biomimetic Mixed Monolayers with Phosphatidylglycerol: Insights into the Tunable Properties of Bacterial Membranes.

Author(s): Wölk C, Youssef H, Guttenberg T, Marbach H, Vizcay-Barrena G, Shen C, Brezesinski G, Harvey RD

Ion pairing between the major phospholipids of the Staphylococcus aureus plasma membrane (phosphatidylglycerol - PG and lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol - LPG) confers resistance to antimicrobial peptides and other antibiotics. We developed 3adLPG, a stable synthetic analogue which can substitute for ...

Modeling Shows that Rotation about the Peroxide O-O Bond Assists Protein and Lipid Functional Groups in Discriminating between H2O2 and H2O

Author(s): Orabi EA; English AM;

Long associated with cell death, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is now known to perform many physiological roles. Unraveling its biological mechanisms of action requires atomic-level knowledge of its association with proteins and lipids, which we address here. High-level [MP2(full)/6-311++G(3df,3pd)] ab initio calculations reveal skew rotamers as the lowest-e ...

PASS: A Multimodal Database of Physical Activity and Stress for Mobile Passive Body/ Brain-Computer Interface Research

Author(s): Parent M; Albuquerque I; Tiwari A; Cassani R; Gagnon JF; Lafond D; Tremblay S; Falk TH;

With the burgeoning of wearable devices and passive body/brain-computer interfaces (B/BCIs), automated stress monitoring in everyday settings has gained significant attention recently, with applications ranging from serious games to clinical monitoring. With mobile users, however, challenges arise due to other overlapping (and potentially confounding) p ...

PM2.5 and hospital admissions among Medicare enrollees with chronic debilitating brain disorders.

Author(s): Yitshak-Sade M, Nethery R, Schwartz JD, Mealli F, Dominici F, Di Q, Abu Awad Y, Ifergane G, Zanobetti A

BACKGROUND: Although long-term exposure to particulate matter METHODS: We constructed daily zipcode counts of hospital admissions of Medicare beneficiaries older than 65 across the United-States (2000-2014). We obtained daily PM2.5 estimates from a satellite-based model. A propensity score matc ...

Integrative approach for detecting membrane proteins.

Author(s): Alballa M, Butler G

BACKGROUND: Membrane proteins are key gates that control various vital cellular functions. Membrane proteins are often detected using transmembrane topology prediction tools. While transmembrane topology prediction tools can detect integral membrane proteins, they do not address surface-bound proteins. In this study, we focused on finding the best techn ...
