Folding photopolymerized origami sheets by post-curing.

Author(s): He X, Matte CD, Kwok TH

The paper presents a novel manufacturing approach to fabricate origami based on 3D printing utilizing digital light processing. Specifically, we propose to leave part of the model uncured during the printing step, and then cure it in the post-processing step to set the shape in a folded configuration. While the cured regions in the first step try to regai ...

Identifying and addressing psychosocial determinants of adherence to physical distancing guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic - project protocol.

Author(s): Durand H, Bacon SL, Byrne M, Kenny E, Lavoie KL, McGuire BE, Mc Sharry J, Meade O, Mooney R, Noone C, O'Connor LL, O'Flaherty K, Molloy GJ

Optimising public health physical distancing measures has been a critical part of the global response to the spread of COVID-19. Evidence collected during the current pandemic shows that the transmission rate of the virus is significantly reduced following implementation of intensive physical dis ...

Quantitative Metabolomics of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Using Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Author(s): Mohammad K; Jiang H; Titorenko VI;

Metabolomics is a methodology used for the identification and quantification of many low-molecular-weight intermediates and products of metabolism within a cell, tissue, organ, biological fluid, or organism. Metabolomics traditionally focuses on water-soluble metabolites. The water-soluble metabolome is the final product of a complex cellular network that ...

Acceptability of a structured diet and exercise weight loss intervention in breast cancer survivors living with an overweight condition or obesity: A qualitative analysis.

Author(s): Beckenstein H, Slim M, Kim H, Plourde H, Kilgour R, Cohen TR

BACKGROUND: Weight loss increases survivorship following breast cancer diagnosis. However, most breast cancer survivors (BCS) do not meet diet and exercise recommendations. AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore the barriers and facilitators of BCS who had lymphedema and who participated in a 22-week weight loss lifestyle intervention. METHODS AND ...

EEG signals respond differently to idea generation, idea evolution and evaluation in a loosely controlled creativity experiment.

Author(s): Jia W, Zeng Y

Many neurocognitive studies endeavor to understand neural mechanisms of basic creative activities in strictly controlled experiments. However, little evidence is available regarding the neural mechanisms of interactions between basic activities underlying creativity in such experiments. Moreover, strictly controlled experiments might limit flexibility/fre ...

The effect of step-feeding distribution ratio on high concentration perchlorate removal performance in ABR system with heterotrophic combined sulfur autotrophic process.

Author(s): Li H, Li K, Guo J, Chen Z, Han Y, Song Y, Lu C, Hou Y, Zhang D, Zhang Y

In a lab-scale anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) with eight compartments, the heterotrophic and sulfur autotrophic processes were combined to remove perchlorate. And then, the step-feeding distribution ratio of the heterotrophic perchlorate reduction unit (HPR unit) was optimized to achieve efficient removal of high concentration perchlorate. Under the opti ...

The Biology of Vasopressin.

Author(s): Sparapani S, Millet-Boureima C, Oliver J, Mu K, Hadavi P, Kalostian T, Ali N, Avelar CM, Bardies M, Barrow B, Benedikt M, Biancardi G, Bindra R, Bui L, Chihab Z, Cossitt A, Costa J, Daigneault T, Dault J, Davidson I, Dias J, Dufour E, El ...

Vasopressins are evolutionarily conserved peptide hormones. Mammalian vasopressin functions systemically as an antidiuretic and regulator of blood and cardiac flow essential for adapting to terrestrial environments. Moreover, vasopressin acts centrally as a neurohormone involved in social and par ...

Effect of homogenization and solution treatments time on the elevated-temperature mechanical behavior of Inconel 718 fabricated by laser powder bed fusion.

Author(s): Fayed EM, Saadati M, Shahriari D, Brailovski V, Jahazi M, Medraj M

In the present study, the effect of homogenization and solution treatment times on the elevated-temperature (650 °C) mechanical properties and the fracture mechanisms of Inconel 718 (IN718) superalloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was investigated. Homogenization times between 1 and 7 h at 1080 °C were used, while solution treatments at 980 ...

Separating binge-eating disorder stigma and weight stigma: A vignette study.

Author(s): Hollett KB, Carter JC

OBJECTIVE: Vignette research on binge-eating disorder (BED) stigma is limited and lacking methodological rigor. Existing studies lack control vignettes and typically present characters with overweight or obesity, introducing the confound of weight stigma. This study examined BED stigma while addressing these limitations. METHOD: Participants (N = 421) wer ...

Potential Movement Corridors and High Road-Kill Likelihood do not Spatially Coincide for Felids in Brazil: Implications for Road Mitigation.

Author(s): Cerqueira RC, Leonard PB, da Silva LG, Bager A, Clevenger AP, Jaeger JAG, Grilo C

The negative effects of roads on wildlife populations are a growing concern. Movement corridors and road-kill data are typically used to prioritize road segments for mitigation measures. Some research suggests that locations where animals move across roads following corridors coincide with locations where they are often killed by vehicles. Other research ...

Finite Element Modelling of Bandgap Engineered Graphene FET with the Application in Sensing Methanethiol Biomarker.

Author(s): Singh P, Abedini Sohi P, Kahrizi M

In this work, we have designed and simulated a graphene field effect transistor (GFET) with the purpose of developing a sensitive biosensor for methanethiol, a biomarker for bacterial infections. The surface of a graphene layer is functionalized by manipulation of its surface structure and is used as the channel of the GFET. Two methods, doping the crysta ...
