Language exposure is an important determiner of language outcomes in bilingual children. Family language strategies (FLS, e.g., one-parent-one-language) were contrasted with parents' individual language use to predict language exposure in 4-31-month-old children (50% female) living in Montreal, Quebec. Two-hundred twenty one children (primarily Europe ...

There is increasing concern over the environmental risks associated with deepwater petroleum exploration activities. The integration of environmental risk assessment and oil spill modeling can help to understand and quantitatively characterize the potential risks from subsea blowouts in specific regions. This study integrates a novel deepwater oil spill m ...

Ion channels are critical membrane proteins that regulate ion flux across cellular membranes, influencing numerous biological functions. The resource-intensive nature of traditional wet lab experiments for ion channel identification has led to an increasing emphasis on computational techniques. This study extends our previous work on protein language mode ...

Age-related hearing loss is a risk factor for mobility problems and falls, possibly due to poor access to spatial sounds or the higher allocation of attention required to listen, thereby reducing cognitive resources to support mobility. Introducing stabilizing spatial sounds or reducing cognitive load through hearing aids could possibly improve balance pe ...

Achieving net zero global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), with declining emissions of other greenhouse gases, is widely expected to halt global warming. CO2 emissions will continue to drive warming until fully balanced by active anthropogenic CO2 removals. For practical reasons, however, many ...

Radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia has been widely used for tumor ablation since magnetic-fluid-hyperthermia (MFH) can be utilized for increasing temperature in tumor-region as a complementary-method for hyperthermia. In this study, the effectiveness of using the magnetite-nanoparticles (Fe3O4) in RF hyperthermia for breast cancer (BC) treatment by determin ...

The excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in obesity appears to result in adipose tissue dysfunction perpetuating the onset of obesity-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2DM). In humans, adipose tissue is stored in several depots including subcutaneous and visceral. These depots contribute to the pathology of obesity differently owing to dif ...
