Adiposity and cardiac autonomic function in children with a family history of obesity

Author(s): Saade MB; Holden S; Kakinami L; McGrath JJ; Mathieu MÈ; Poirier P; Barnett TA; Beaucage P; Henderson M;

Purpose: Data on associations between adiposity and heart rate variability (HRV) in prepubertal children are limited. We examined the associations between adiposity indices and HRV, independent of lifestyle behaviors, comparing multiple indicators of adiposity, and explored differences between bo ...

Perceptions of carbon dioxide emission reductions and future warming among climate experts

Author(s): Wynes S; Davis SJ; Dickau M; Ly S; Maibach E; Rogelj J; Zickfeld K; Matthews HD;

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) employs emission scenarios to explore a range of future climate outcomes but refrains from assigning probabilities to individual scenarios. However, IPCC authors have their own views on the likelihood of different climate outcomes, which are valuable to understand because authors possess both expert ins ...

Prototype Facial Response to Cute Stimuli: Expression and Recognition

Author(s): O' Neil MJ; Danvers AF; Hu JI; Shiota MN;

Cute, kindchenschema stimuli can evoke a suite of cognitive, physiological, and behavioral tendencies thought to promote caregiving. This research investigated facial expression elements associated with this response to cuteness and assessed the recognizability of an expression combining these elements. In Studies 1 and 2, participants at a community outr ...

Emerging hazardous chemicals and biological pollutants in Canadian aquatic systems and remediation approaches: A comprehensive status report

Author(s): Adeola AO; Paramo L; Fuoco G; Naccache R;

Emerging contaminants can be natural or synthetic materials, as well as materials of a chemical, or biological origin; these materials are typically not controlled or monitored in the environment. Canada is home to nearly 7 % of the world's renewable water supply and a wide range of different kinds of water systems, including the Great Lake, rivers, c ...

A Humanized Yeast Model for Studying TRAPP Complex Mutations; Proof-of-Concept Using Variants from an Individual with a TRAPPC1-Associated Neurodevelopmental Syndrome

Author(s): Zykaj E; Abboud C; Asadi P; Warsame S; Almousa H; Milev MP; Greco BM; López-Sánchez M; Bratkovic D; Kachroo AH; Pérez-Jurado LA; Sacher M;

Variants in membrane trafficking proteins are known to cause rare disorders with severe symptoms. The highly conserved transport protein particle (TRAPP) complexes are key membrane trafficking regulators that are also involved in autophagy. Pathogenic genetic variants in specific TRAPP subunits a ...

SpeechBrain-MOABB: An open-source Python library for benchmarking deep neural networks applied to EEG signals

Author(s): Borra D; Paissan F; Ravanelli M;

Deep learning has revolutionized EEG decoding, showcasing its ability to outperform traditional machine learning models. However, unlike other fields, EEG decoding lacks comprehensive open-source libraries dedicated to neural networks. Existing tools (MOABB and braindecode) prevent the creation of robust and complete decoding pipelines, as they lack suppo ...

Comparative genomic analysis of thermophilic fungi reveals convergent evolutionary adaptations and gene losses

Author(s): Steindorff AS; Aguilar-Pontes MV; Robinson AJ; Andreopoulos B; LaButti K; Kuo A; Mondo S; Riley R; Otillar R; Haridas S; Lipzen A; Grimwood J; Schmutz J; Clum A; Reid ID; Moisan MC; Butler G; Nguyen TTM; Dewar K; Conant G; Drula E; Henri ...

Thermophily is a trait scattered across the fungal tree of life, with its highest prevalence within three fungal families (Chaetomiaceae, Thermoascaceae, and Trichocomaceae), as well as some members of the phylum Mucoromycota. We examined 37 thermophilic and thermotolerant species and 42 mesophil ...

Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia on AuCu Single-atom Alloy Aerogels under Wide Potential Window

Author(s): Yu J; Gao RT; Guo X; Nguyen NT; Wu L; Wang L;

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (NO3RR) is very attractive for nitrate removal and ammonia production in industrial processes. However, the nitrate reduction reaction is characterized by intense hydrogen competition at strong reduction potentials, which greatly limits the Faraday efficiency at strong reduction potentials. Herein, we reported ...

Exploring the glycoprotein washing fluid-assisted cleanup for the restoration of oil-contaminated shorelines with environmental integrity

Author(s): Sui J; Yue R; Bi H; Fu H; Yang A; Wang M; An C;

Spilled oil in ocean can spread to the shoreline and cause long-term impacts on the shoreline's ecological environment. Therefore, removing oil accumulated on shorelines is crucial. This study proposed an innovative ovalbumin (OVA) fluid-assisted method for the cleanup of oiled shoreline substrates. The oil removal efficiency of OVA fluids was systema ...

Show me the evidence to guide nutrition practice: Scoping review of macronutrient dietary treatments after metabolic and bariatric surgery

Author(s): Parrott JM; Benson-Davies S; O' Kane M; Sherf-Dagan S; Ben-Porat T; Arcone VM; Faria SL; Parrott JS;

Background: Clinical practice recommendations for macronutrient intake in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) are insufficiently grounded in the research, possibly due to a paucity of research in key areas necessary to support macronutrient recommendations. An initial scoping r ...

DNA Replication across α-l-(3'-2')-Threofuranosyl Nucleotides Mediated by Human DNA Polymerase η

Author(s): Tomar R; Ghodke PP; Patra A; Smyth E; Pontarelli A; Copp W; Guengerich FP; Chaput JJ; Wilds CJ; Stone MP; Egli M;

a-l-(3'-2')-Threofuranosyl nucleic acid (TNA) pairs with itself, cross-pairs with DNA and RNA, and shows promise as a tool in synthetic genetics, diagnostics, and oligonucleotide therapeutics. We studied in vitro primer insertion and extension reactions catalyzed by human trans-lesion syn ...

Charge separation in a copper(I) donor-chromophore-acceptor assembly for both photoanode and photocathode sensitization

Author(s): Singh Z; Chiong JD; Ricardo-Noordberg JF; Kamal S; Majewski MB;

A copper(I) donor-chromophore-acceptor triad bearing 1,8-napthalenemonoimide as the electron acceptor and triphenylamine as the electron donor was synthesized. Photophysical and electrochemical characterization suggest stepwise photoinduced charge separation upon excitation of the copper(I)-based metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition. Analyses ...
