Uncertainty about predation risk: a conceptual review

Author(s): Crane AL; Feyten LEA; Preagola AA; Ferrari MCO; Brown GE;

Uncertainty has long been of interest to economists and psychologists and has more recently gained attention among ecologists. In the ecological world, animals must regularly make decisions related to finding resources and avoiding threats. Here, we describe uncertainty as a perceptual phenomenon of decision-makers, and we focus specifically on the functi ...

Web-based processing of physiological noise in fMRI: addition of the PhysIO toolbox to CBRAIN

Author(s): Valevicius D; Beck N; Kasper L; Boroday S; Bayer J; Rioux P; Caron B; Adalat R; Evans AC; Khalili-Mahani N;

Neuroimaging research requires sophisticated tools for analyzing complex data, but efficiently leveraging these tools can be a major challenge, especially on large datasets. CBRAIN is a web-based platform designed to simplify the use and accessibility of neuroimaging research tools for large-scal ...

How can we apply decision-making theories to wild animal behavior? Predictions arising from dual process theory and Bayesian decision theory

Author(s): Teichroeb JA; Smeltzer EA; Mathur V; Anderson KA; Fowler EJ; Adams FV; Vasey EN; Tamara Kumpan L; Stead SM; Arseneau-Robar TJM;

Our understanding of decision-making processes and cognitive biases is ever increasing, thanks to an accumulation of testable models and a large body of research over the last several decades. The vast majority of this work has been done in humans and laboratory animals because these study subjec ...

Unsupervised Mixture Models on the Edge for Smart Energy Consumption Segmentation with Feature Saliency

Author(s): Al-Bazzaz H; Azam M; Amayri M; Bouguila N;

Smart meter datasets have recently transitioned from monthly intervals to one-second granularity, yielding invaluable insights for diverse metering functions. Clustering analysis, a fundamental data mining technique, is extensively applied to discern unique energy consumption patterns. However, the advent of high-resolution smart meter data brings forth f ...

Profiles of body image concerns and their associations with disordered eating behaviors

Author(s): Baker S; Maïano C; Houle S; Nadon L; Aimé A; Morin AJS;

Although body image concerns (BIC) are recognized as a core driver in the development of disordered eating behaviors, the combined role of various types of BIC remains underexamined. This study relied on Latent Profile Analysis to identify the main configurations of self-reported BIC (i.e., body checking and avoidance, perceived physical appearance, and f ...

Childhood hyperactivity, eating behaviours, and executive functions: Their association with the development of eating-disorder symptoms in adolescence

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

Background: Cross-sectional studies have shown that hyperactivity and impaired executive functioning are associated with symptoms of eating disorders in adolescence and adulthood. Whether hyperactivity and executive functions in early life can prospectively predict the emergence of eating disorde ...

Age- and sex-specific associations between obstructive sleep apnea risk and cognitive decline in middle-aged and older adults: A 3-year longitudinal analysis of the Canadian longitudinal study on aging

Author(s): Julie Legault

CONCLUSIONS: Associations between OSA risk and cognitive decline over 3 years depend on age and sex. Being at high-risk for OSA is associated with a generalized cognitive decline in attention and processing speed, while a memory decline is specific to older women (=70 years).

ESOMIR: a curated database of biomarker genes and miRNAs associated with esophageal cancer

Author(s): Sindhoo A; Sipy S; Khan A; Selvaraj G; Alshammari A; Casida ME; Wei DQ;

'Esophageal cancer' (EC) is a highly aggressive and deadly complex disease. It comprises two types, esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), with Barrett's esophagus (BE) being the only known precursor. Recent research has revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in the development, prognosis a ...

The caleosin RD20/CLO3 regulates lateral root development in response to abscisic acid and regulates flowering time in conjunction with the caleosin CLO7

Author(s): Brunetti SC; Arseneault MKM; Gulick PJ;

The caleosins are encoded by multi-gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plant species. This work investigates the role of two family members, RD20/CLO3 and CLO7, in flowering transition and in root development in response to ABA treatment. Gene expression of the caleosin RD20/CLO3 is induced by ABA in the root tissues and RD20/CLO3 has a negati ...

Do preschoolers trust a competent robot pointer?

Author(s): Baumann AE; Goldman EJ; Cobos MM; Poulin-Dubois D;

How young children learn from different informants has been widely studied. However, most studies investigate how children learn verbally conveyed information. Furthermore, most studies investigate how children learn from humans. This study sought to investigate how 3-year-old children learn from, and come to trust, a competent robot versus an incompetent ...

The impact of cultural identity, parental communication, and peer influence on substance use among Indigenous youth in Canada

Author(s): Reynolds A; Keough MT; Blacklock A; Tootoosis C; Whelan J; Bomfim E; Mushquash C; Wendt DC; O' Connor RM; Burack JA;

Heavy drinking and smoking have been found to be among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality within Indigenous youth in North America. The focus of this study was to examine the relative roles of cultural identity, parent-child communication about the harms of substance use (SU), and perc ...
