The moderating roles of friendship and contextual variables on associations between social withdrawal and peer exclusion and growth curves of depressed affect were studied with a three-wave multilevel longitudinal design. Participants were 313 boys and girls aged 10-12 from Canada (n = 139), mostly of European and North African descent, and Colombia (n = ...

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) events are common across various organisms; however, the retention and evolution of WGD paralogs is not fully understood. Quantitative measure of protein redistribution in response to the deletion of their WGD paralog provides insight into sources of gene retention. ...

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and hearing loss (HL) have been separately associated with increased dementia risk. These highly co-occurring dementia risk factors are associated with aberrant functional brain connectivity. In individuals with HL aberrant functional connectivity has been associated with cognitive impairment. In individuals with MCI, aberr ...

In individuals with obesity, the onset of chronic comorbidities coincides with the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in various tissue beds. As obesity progresses, adipose tissue becomes increasingly dysfunctional causing chronic low-grade inflammation. Indeed, adipose tissue inflammation, which partially stems from macrophage infiltration and expr ...

Given the recent deployment of nerve agents as a method of warfare and in targeted assassinations, the development of robust, broad-spectrum medical countermeasures is essential. Our research group has synthesized isatin-pyridine oxime hybrids that have previously demonstrated the ability to resc ...

Introduction: Evidence on degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) has frequently focussed on surgical management, overlooking the role of non-surgical clinicians. Their contributions in the patient journey remain largely underexplored in the literature. Research question: What is the role of non- ...

In the past few years, significant efforts have been made to investigate the transmission of COVID-19. This paper provides a review of the COVID-19 airborne transmission modeling and mitigation strategies. The simulation models here are classified into airborne transmission infectious risk models and numerical approaches for spatiotemporal airborne transm ...

The use of multiple robots to manufacture composite components represents a critical development direction for fiber placement systems (FPSs). In multi-robotic fiber placement systems (MRFPSs) with heterogeneous mechanical structures, robots collaborate to perform fiber placement tasks. Consequently, robot synchronization emerges as a primary factor in de ...
