Does social connection mediate the association between neuroticism and cognition? Cross-sectional analysis of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Author(s): Bethell J; Andrew MK; Hothi S; Mick P; Morgan D; O' Connell ME; Phillips NA; Stewart S; Walker JD; Wittich W; McGilton KS;

Objectives: This study tested the association between neuroticism and six cognitive measures, and examined the potential mediating roles of social connection (social isolation and loneliness) among middle-aged and older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study was a secondary analysis of the ...

Multi-objective control optimization of isolated bridge using replicator controller and NSGA-II

Author(s): Momeni Z; Bagchi A;

Earthquakes can cause significant damage to constructed structures, leading engineers to design systems that effectively reduce damage and improve real-time vibration control. While base isolation is a commonly used passive method for seismic protection in highway structures, it has limitations such as a lack of immediate adaptation, constrained power dis ...

A population-averaged structural connectomic brain atlas dataset from 422 HCP-aging subjects

Author(s): Xiao Y; Gilmore G; Kai J; Lau JC; Peters T; Khan AR;

Population-averaged brain atlases, that are represented in a standard space with anatomical labels, are instrumental tools in neurosurgical planning and the study of neurodegenerative conditions. Traditional brain atlases are primarily derived from anatomical scans and contain limited information regarding the axonal organization of the white matter. With ...

Assessment of landfill gas storage and application regarding energy management: A case study in the province of Quebec, Canada

Author(s): Malmir T; Héroux M; Lagos D; Eicker U;

Landfills are extensively applied to dispose of municipal solid wastes in developed and developing countries. Landfill gas generation from biodegradable organic wastes can be collected and converted to energy. When the gas collection system is shutdown, some of this gas can accumulate and be stored inside the landfill. Using the gas storage capacity of th ...

CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene editing of transcription factor ACE1 for enhanced cellulase production in thermophilic fungus Rasamsonia emersonii

Author(s): Singh V; Raheja Y; Basotra N; Sharma G; Tsang A; Chadha BS;

Background: The filamentous fungus Rasamsonia emersonii has immense potential to produce biorefinery relevant thermostable cellulase and hemicellulase enzymes using lignocellulosic biomass. Previously in our lab, a hyper-cellulase producing strain of R. emersonii was developed through classical breeding and system biology approaches. ACE1, a pivotal trans ...

Screening non-conventional yeasts for acid tolerance and engineering Pichia occidentalis for production of muconic acid

Author(s): Pyne ME; Bagley JA; Narcross L; Kevvai K; Exley K; Davies M; Wang Q; Whiteway M; Martin VJJ;

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a workhorse of industrial biotechnology owing to the organism's prominence in alcohol fermentation and the suite of sophisticated genetic tools available to manipulate its metabolism. However, S. cerevisiae is not suited to overproduce many bulk bioproducts, as tox ...

Teleconsultations for mental health: Recommendations from a Delphi panel

Author(s): Manera V; Partos C; Beauchet O; Benoit M; Dupetit B; Elbaum J; Fabre R; Gindt M; Gros A; Guerchouche R; Klöppel S; König A; Martin A; Mouton A; Pancrazi MP; Politis A; Robert G; Sacco G; Sacconi S; Sawchuk K; Solari F; Thiebot L; Trimarc ...

Introduction: The use of teleconsultations for mental health has drastically increased since 2020 due to the Covid19 pandemic. In the present paper, we aimed to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of teleconsultations for mental health compared to face-to-face consultations, and to provide r ...

Factors associated with mental health service use during the pandemic: Initiation and barriers

Author(s): Vasiliadis HM; Spagnolo J; Fleury MJ; Gouin JP; Roberge P; Bartram M; Grenier S; Shen-Tu G; Vena JE; Wang J;

Background: Scarce are the studies focusing on initiation of new mental health service use (MHSU) and distinguishing individuals who have sought services but have been unsuccessful in accessing these. Aims: Assessing the factors associated with initiating new MHSU as compared to no MHSU due to s ...

Changes in Purpose in Life and Low-Grade Chronic Inflammation Across Older Adulthood

Author(s): Giannis I; Wrosch C; Herriot H; Gouin JP;

ackground: Older adults often experience an increase in low-grade chronic inflammation. Purpose in life could act as a protective factor as it is associated with beneficial health outcomes. Purpose in life may exert part of its adaptive function by promoting persistence in goal pursuit. During older adulthood, however, when many individuals experience an ...

The experimental multi-arm pendulum on a cart: A benchmark system for chaos, learning, and control

Author(s): Kaheman K; Fasel U; Bramburger JJ; Strom B; Kutz JN; Brunton SL;

The single, double, and triple pendulum has served as an illustrative experimental benchmark system for scientists to study dynamical behavior for more than four centuries. The pendulum system exhibits a wide range of interesting behaviors, from simple harmonic motion in the single pendulum to chaotic dynamics in multi-arm pendulums. Under forcing, even t ...

Do trauma cue exposure and/or PTSD symptom severity intensify selective approach bias toward cannabis cues in regular cannabis users with trauma histories?

Author(s): DeGrace S; Romero-Sanchiz P; Tibbo P; Barrett S; Arenella P; Cosman T; Atasoy P; Cousijn J; Wiers R; Keough MT; Yakovenko I; O' Connor R; Wardell J; Rudnick A; Nicholas Carleton R; Heber A; Stewart SH;

Trauma cue-elicited activation of automatic cannabis-related cognitive biases are theorized to contribute to comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder and cannabis use disorder. This phenomenon can be studied experimentally by combining the trauma cue reactivity paradigm (CRP) with cannabis-related ...
