Anxiolytic effects of diazepam in Trinidadian guppies exposed to chemical cues indicating predation risk

Author(s): Crane AL; Feyten LEA; Brusseau AJP; Dumaresq Synnott F; Ramnarine IW; Ferrari MCO; Brown GE;

The fear of predation is pervasive among vertebrate prey species, being characterized by neurobiological and behavioral changes induced by risk exposure. To understand the acquisition and attenuation of fearful phenotypes, such as dimensions of posttraumatic stress, researchers often use animal m ...

How do we know that they actually use it? Exploring measures of adherence to stress management strategies in university students: A systematic review

Author(s): Bastien L; Cho S; Petrovic J; Khoury B; Bloom E; Heath N;

University students are reporting high levels of stress that interfere with their academic performance and daily functioning. In response, higher education institutions have increasingly implemented digital, self-guided stress management resources to provide students with accessible mental health support. While these interventions show promise for improvi ...

Aerobic fitness modulates arithmetic strategy use in college-aged young adults

Author(s): McGowan AL; Ellison OK; Ham MS; Chandler MC; Pontifex MB;

Purpose: The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the extent to which individuals at the extremes of the aerobic fitness continuum differed in their utilization of arithmetic strategies. Method: Using a cross-sectional design, 37 higher aerobically fit and 37 lower aerobically fit participants completed a complex arithmetic task while ne ...

Oxy-reductive C-N bond formation via pulsed electrolysis

Author(s): Zhang Y; Al-Mahayni H; Aguiar PM; Chartrand D; McKee M; Shamekhi M; Seifitokaldani A; Kornienko N;

Co-electrolysis of CO2 with simple N-species is an appealing route to sustainable fabrication of C-N bond containing products. A prominent challenge in this direction is to promote the C-N coupling step in place of the established CO2 reduction pathways. This can be particularly difficult when re ...

Trajectories of childhood eating behaviors and their association with internalizing and externalizing symptoms in adolescence

Author(s): Dufour R; Breton É; Côté SM; Dubois L; Vitaro F; Boivin M; Tremblay RE; Booij L;

Objective: Several studies have shown that maladaptive eating behaviors in childhood predict greater risk for eating disorders in adolescence. Whether or not maladaptive eating behaviors could represent developmental risk factors for a larger spectrum of psychopathologies is unknown. This study described longitudinal trajectories of overeating and picky e ...

Energy-delay analysis in advection-diffusion-based wireless body area networks

Author(s): Kianfar G; Hosseini P; Azadi M; Abouei J; Mohammadi A;

Molecular communication (MC) emerges as an encouraging concept in wireless body area nanonetworks ([Formula: see text]), which utilizes molecules as information carriers for communication between nanomachines. In this paper, we aim to define an electrical model of a molecular-based nano-transmitter to analyze the effect of the remained transmitted molecul ...

A novel span and syntax enhanced large language model based framework for fine-grained sentiment analysis

Author(s): Zou H; Wang Y; Huang A;

Fine-grained aspect-based sentiment analysis requires language models to identify aspect entities and the corresponding sentiment information in the input text content. Transformer-based pre-trained large language models have demonstrated remarkable performance on various challenging natural language processing tasks. However, large language models face l ...

Development and Application of Children s Sex- and Age-Specific Fat-Mass and Muscle-Mass Reference Curves From Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Data for Predicting Cardiometabolic Risk

Author(s): Saputra ST; Van Hulst A; Henderson M; Brugiapaglia S; Faustini C; Kakinami L;

Background: A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived phenotype classification based on fat mass and muscle mass has been developed for adults. We extended this to a paediatric population. Methods: Children's (= 17 years) DXA data in NHANES (n = 6120) were used to generate sex- and age-specific deciles of appendicular skeletal muscle mass inde ...

Surface charge dictates the mechanism of cellular uptake of fluorescent amine passivated carbon dots

Author(s): Clermont-Paquette A; Fuoco G; Brancheriau CR; Piekny A; Naccache R;

The surface charge of carbon dots (CDs) governs cellular uptake; however, studies seldom compare CDs with similar physico-chemical properties thereby introducing confounding variables. Here, we investigate how the surface charge of amine-passivated carbon dots with similar optical and chemical properties influences their uptake in human cells. We synthesi ...

Obsessive-compulsive symptoms moderate the effect of contamination motion on disgust intensity

Author(s): Pelzer M; Ouellet-Courtois C; Krause S; Coughtrey A; Fink-Lamotte J;

Background: Perceiving a threat as constantly evolving, coming closer and escalating quickly can result in looming vulnerability (LV). LV may be a distal factor in contamination-based OCD (C-OCD) influencing disorder-specific mechanisms such as disgust. The aim of this study was to gain knowledge about three components of LV: speed, proximity and accelera ...

An examination of the quinic acid utilization genes in Aspergillus niger reveals the involvement of two pH-dependent permeases

Author(s): Sgro M; Reid ID; Arentshorst M; Ram AFJ; Tsang A;

Many microorganisms are able to use plant-derived aromatic and cyclic compounds like the common plant secondary metabolite quinic acid as carbon and energy sources. In fungi, three enzymatic steps convert quinic acid into the common intermediate protocatechuic acid, which is then further converted into TCA cycle intermediates. The genes encoding these thr ...
