Rewarding electrical brain stimulation (EBS) can serve as a discriminative stimulus. It has long been suspected that this discriminative property reflects the subjective intensity of the rewarding effect. In turn, the counter model of spatiotemporal integration attributes the subjective reward intensity produced by a stimulation train of fixed duration to ...

This study evaluates the fluid dynamics inside and outside transcatheter blood pump positioned in the aorta. We focus on the pump's impact on blood component damage and arterial wall stress. CFD simulations were performed for rotational speeds ranging from 6000 to 15000 rpm, with a blood flow rate of 1.6 L/min. Results show that significant blood dama ...

Research on MICP technology for ground improvement began in the early 2000s, and since then, it has been considered as innovative research. The field of applications is showing signs of expanding from sandy soil stabilization to remediation. However, the research has not always progressed, because it is extremely difficult to evaluate the ability (viabili ...

Background: An increasing body of evidence highlights the utility of examining adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) utilizing person-centered analytical approaches, particularly for understanding the organization and co-occurrence of ACEs, and their contributions to risk, vulnerability, and the development of intervention efforts. Methods: In the first s ...

Zero-shot counting is a subcategory of Generic Visual Object Counting, which aims to count objects from an arbitrary class in a given image. While few-shot counting relies on delivering exemplars to the model to count similar class objects, zero-shot counting automates the operation for faster processing. This paper proposes a fully automated zero-shot me ...

The contributions of distinct populations to annual harvests provide key insights to conservation, especially in migratory species that return to specific reproductive areas. In this context, genetic stock identification (GSI) requires reference samples from source populations to assign harvested individuals, yet sampling might be challenging as reproduct ...

The adsorption of CO2 in MOF-808, NU-1000 and a series of rare-earth CU-10 analogues has been studied with first principles DFT and classical Monte-Carlo methods. DFT calculations describe the interaction of CO2 with the different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as physisorption, but where we can distinguish several adsorption sites in the vicinity of the ...

With over 420 million children (aged 0-19 years) worldwide living with overweight or obesity, the "obesity epidemic" or "globesity" is a defining public health challenge of this generation. While significant efforts have been made to address obesity in adults, less attention has been given to the critical issue of childhood overweight and ...

Objective: To determine if performance on symptom, cognitive, balance, fatigue, physical activity, and quality of life outcomes at 4-weeks post-injury in children with concussion differs based on acute 5P risk classification. Design: Prospective cohort. Setting: Laboratory. Patients: Sixty-two children (age: 13.27 ± 2.50 years; 29 (46.7%) females) with ...

Introduction: Physical activity is associated with greater myelin content in older individuals with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), a condition marked by demyelination. However, potential mechanisms underlying this relationship remain understudied. Methods: We assessed cross-sectionally wh ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with a poorly understood physiopathology and no established biomarkers for the diagnosis of early stages and for prediction of disease progression. Several neuroimaging biomarkers have been studied recently, but these are suscept ...
