Screening non-conventional yeasts for acid tolerance and engineering Pichia occidentalis for production of muconic acid

Author(s): Pyne ME; Bagley JA; Narcross L; Kevvai K; Exley K; Davies M; Wang Q; Whiteway M; Martin VJJ;

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a workhorse of industrial biotechnology owing to the organism's prominence in alcohol fermentation and the suite of sophisticated genetic tools available to manipulate its metabolism. However, S. cerevisiae is not suited to overproduce many bulk bioproducts, as tox ...

Teleconsultations for mental health: Recommendations from a Delphi panel

Author(s): Manera V; Partos C; Beauchet O; Benoit M; Dupetit B; Elbaum J; Fabre R; Gindt M; Gros A; Guerchouche R; Klöppel S; König A; Martin A; Mouton A; Pancrazi MP; Politis A; Robert G; Sacco G; Sacconi S; Sawchuk K; Solari F; Thiebot L; Trimarc ...

Introduction: The use of teleconsultations for mental health has drastically increased since 2020 due to the Covid19 pandemic. In the present paper, we aimed to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of teleconsultations for mental health compared to face-to-face consultations, and to provide r ...

Factors associated with mental health service use during the pandemic: Initiation and barriers

Author(s): Vasiliadis HM; Spagnolo J; Fleury MJ; Gouin JP; Roberge P; Bartram M; Grenier S; Shen-Tu G; Vena JE; Wang J;

Background: Scarce are the studies focusing on initiation of new mental health service use (MHSU) and distinguishing individuals who have sought services but have been unsuccessful in accessing these. Aims: Assessing the factors associated with initiating new MHSU as compared to no MHSU due to s ...

Changes in Purpose in Life and Low-Grade Chronic Inflammation Across Older Adulthood

Author(s): Giannis I; Wrosch C; Herriot H; Gouin JP;

ackground: Older adults often experience an increase in low-grade chronic inflammation. Purpose in life could act as a protective factor as it is associated with beneficial health outcomes. Purpose in life may exert part of its adaptive function by promoting persistence in goal pursuit. During older adulthood, however, when many individuals experience an ...

The experimental multi-arm pendulum on a cart: A benchmark system for chaos, learning, and control

Author(s): Kaheman K; Fasel U; Bramburger JJ; Strom B; Kutz JN; Brunton SL;

The single, double, and triple pendulum has served as an illustrative experimental benchmark system for scientists to study dynamical behavior for more than four centuries. The pendulum system exhibits a wide range of interesting behaviors, from simple harmonic motion in the single pendulum to chaotic dynamics in multi-arm pendulums. Under forcing, even t ...

Do trauma cue exposure and/or PTSD symptom severity intensify selective approach bias toward cannabis cues in regular cannabis users with trauma histories?

Author(s): DeGrace S; Romero-Sanchiz P; Tibbo P; Barrett S; Arenella P; Cosman T; Atasoy P; Cousijn J; Wiers R; Keough MT; Yakovenko I; O' Connor R; Wardell J; Rudnick A; Nicholas Carleton R; Heber A; Stewart SH;

Trauma cue-elicited activation of automatic cannabis-related cognitive biases are theorized to contribute to comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder and cannabis use disorder. This phenomenon can be studied experimentally by combining the trauma cue reactivity paradigm (CRP) with cannabis-related ...

Degradation of enrofloxacin by a novel Fe-N-C@ZnO material in freshwater and seawater: Performance and mechanism

Author(s): Geng C; Chen Q; Li Z; Liu M; Chen Z; Tao H; Yang Q; Zhu B; Feng L;

In this study, we investigated the doping of Fe-N-C with ZnO (Fe-N-C@ZnO) to enhance its performance in the reduction of biological toxicity and degradation of enrofloxacin (ENR) in seawater. The steady-state/transient fluorescence analysis and free radical quenching test indicated an extremely low electron-hole recombination rate and the generation of re ...

Weight bias internalization and beliefs about the causes of obesity among the Canadian public

Author(s): Vida Forouhar

CONCLUSIONS: Weight bias internalization is prevalent among Canadians across all body weight statuses, and the public endorses behavioural causes of obesity, namely physical inactivity and overeating, more than its other causes. Findings warrant the reinforcement of efforts aimed at mitigating weight bias by educating the public about the complexity of ob ...

Mismatch between calf paternity and observed copulations between male and female reindeer: Multiple mating in a polygynous ungulate?

Author(s): Coombs KR; Weladji RB; Holand Ø; Røed KH;

In polygynous systems, such as that exhibited by reindeer Rangifer tarandus, mate choice can be difficult to disentangle from male intrasexual competition because male behavior may constrain female choice. Multiple mating may provide an avenue for female mate choice, though it is difficult to identify using behavioral estimators alone. Molecular technique ...

A deep learning framework to scale linear facial measurements to actual size using horizontal visible iris diameter: a study on an Iranian population

Author(s): Pirayesh Z; Hassanzadeh-Samani S; Farzan A; Rohban MH; Ghorbanimehr MS; Mohammad-Rahimi H; Motamedian SR;

Digital images allow for the objective evaluation of facial appearance and abnormalities as well as treatment outcomes and stability. With the advancement of technology, manual clinical measurements can be replaced with fully automatic photographic assessments. However, obtaining millimetric meas ...

Native diversity buffers against severity of non-native tree invasions

Author(s): Delavaux CS; Crowther TW; Zohner CM; Robmann NM; Lauber T; van den Hoogen J; Kuebbing S; Liang J; de-Miguel S; Nabuurs GJ; Reich PB; Abegg M; Adou Yao YC; Alberti G; Almeyda Zambrano AM; Alvarado BV; Alvarez-Dávila E; Alvarez-Loayza P; A ...

Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species1,2. Tree invasions in particular have been relatively overlooked, even though they have the potential to transform ecosystems and economies3,4. Here, levera ...
