Oil spills in coastal regions of the Arctic and Subarctic: Environmental impacts, response tactics, and preparedness

Author(s): Bi H; Wang Z; Yue R; Sui J; Mulligan CN; Lee K; Pegau S; Chen Z; An C;

Coastal areas of the Arctic and Subarctic are vulnerable to accidental oil spills, impacting the ecosystem, society, and economy. This article provides a comprehensive overview of oil spill pollution issues in cold regions, focusing on environmental impacts, oil transport and fate, coastal/shoreline response measures, and the state of current internationa ...

Asymmetric autocatalytic reactions and their stationary distribution

Author(s): Gallinger C; Popovic L;

We consider a general class of autocatalytic reactions, which has been shown to display stochastic switching behaviour (discreteness-induced transitions (DITs)) in some parameter regimes. This behaviour was shown to occur either when the overall species count is low or when the rate of inflow and outflow of species is relatively much smaller than the rate ...

The Effects of Weekly Levels of Supervisor Support and Workload on Next Week Levels of Well-Being, Satisfaction, and Performance as Mediated by Weekend Work Recovery

Author(s): Cheyroux P; Morin AJS; Colombat P; Blechman Y; Gillet N;

This diary study sought to examine the direct and indirect effects of individuals' perceptions of supervisor support and workload during a work week (week 1) on their well-being, satisfaction, and performance at work during the following work week (week 2) as mediated through the quality of their weekend work recovery experiences (psychological detach ...

Deep clustering analysis via variational autoencoder with Gamma mixture latent embeddings

Author(s): Guo J; Fan W; Amayri M; Bouguila N;

This article proposes a novel deep clustering model based on the variational autoencoder (VAE), named GamMM-VAE, which can learn latent representations of training data for clustering in an unsupervised manner. Most existing VAE-based deep clustering methods use the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) as a prior on the latent space. We employ a more flexible asy ...

Study on the mechanism of regulating micromolar Fe utilization and promoting denitrification by guanosine monophosphate (GMP) based multi-signal functional material Hematin@Fe/GMP

Author(s): Hao Y; Guo T; Li H; Liu W; Chen Z; Wang X; Guo J;

A novel multi-signal functional material consisting of Hematin, Fe, and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) was successfully constructed (Hematin@Fe/GMP) to enhance denitrification efficiency based on the signal network regulation of electron transfer, micromolar Fe utilization, and microbial community. Hematin@Fe/GMP enhanced nitrate reduction rate by 2.33-fol ...

Validation and Reliability of the Dyslexia Adult Checklist in Screening for Dyslexia

Author(s): Stark Z; Elalouf K; Soldano V; Franzen L; Johnson AP;

Dyslexia is a language-based neurobiological and developmental learning disability marked by inaccurate and disfluent word recognition, poor decoding, and difficulty spelling. Individuals can be diagnosed with and experience symptoms of dyslexia throughout their lifespan. Screening tools such as the Dyslexia Adult Checklist allow individuals to self-evalu ...

Low Back Pain During and After Spaceflight: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Author(s): Ceniza-Bordallo G; Zimmermann E; Vigouroux M; Niburski K; Fortin M; Ouellet J; Cata JP; Ingelmo PM;

Space flights can produce physiological changes in the spine, leading to the development of acute and chronic pain in passengers. However, there is a lack of comprehensive literature exploring physiological spine changes and acute and chronic pain in space passengers (astronauts and animals). The ...

Sustainable and energy-saving hydrogen production via binder-free and in situ electrodeposited Ni-Mn-S nanowires on Ni-Cu 3-D substrates

Author(s): Barati Darband G; Iravani D; Zhang M; Maleki M; Huang S; Khoshfetrat SM; Andaveh R; Li J;

Electrochemical water splitting, with its oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), is undoubtedly the most eco-friendly and sustainable method to produce hydrogen. However, water splitting still requires improvement due to the high energy consumption caused by the slow kinetics and large thermodynamic potential requirements o ...

Developmental heterogeneity of school burnout across the transition from upper secondary school to higher education: A 9-year follow-up study

Author(s): Nadon L; Morin AJS; Gilbert W; Olivier E; Salmela-Aro K;

This study utilized piecewise linear growth mixture analysis to examine the developmental heterogeneity of school burnout among a sample of 513 (67.6% females) Finnish students as they transitioned from upper secondary school to higher education (ages 17-25 years). Encompassing five measurement points (two before the transition and three after), our resul ...

Infants' Knowledge of Individual Words: Investigating Links Between Parent Report and Looking Time

Author(s): López Pérez M; Moore C; Sander-Montant A; Byers-Heinlein K;

Assessing early vocabulary development commonly involves parent report methods and behavioral tasks like looking-while-listening. While both yield reliable aggregate scores, findings are mixed regarding their reliability in measuring infants' knowledge of individual words. Using archival data from 126 monolingual and bilingual 14-31-month-olds, we fur ...

Resilience, Stress, and Mental Health Among University Students: A Test of the Resilience Portfolio Model

Author(s): Fang S; Barker E; Arasaratnam G; Lane V; Rabinovich D; Panaccio A; O' Connor RM; Nguyen CT; Doucerain MM;

In recent years, post-secondary students' mental health has become an important public health concern. However, studies examining protective factors of mental health among students and during challenging times are limited. Guided by the strength-based Resilience Portfolio Model and following ...

Impact of a national dementia research consortium: The Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA)

Author(s): Chertkow H; Phillips N; Rockwood K; Anderson N; Andrew MK; Bartha R; Beaudoin C; Bélanger N; Bellec P; Belleville S; Bergman H; Best S; Bethell J; Bherer L; Black S; Borrie M; Camicioli R; Carrier J; Cashman N; Chan S; Crowshoe L; Cuello ...

The Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) was created by the Canadian federal government through its health research funding agency, the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), in 2014, as a response to the G7 initiative to fight dementia. Two five-year funding cycles ( ...
