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 ...

Degradation of enrofloxacin by a novel Fe-N-C@ZnO material in freshwater and seawater: Performance and mechanism

Author(s): Geng C; Chen Q; Li Z; Liu M; Chen Z; Tao H; Yang Q; Zhu B; Feng L;

In this study, we investigated the doping of Fe-N-C with ZnO (Fe-N-C@ZnO) to enhance its performance in the reduction of biological toxicity and degradation of enrofloxacin (ENR) in seawater. The steady-state/transient fluorescence analysis and free radical quenching test indicated an extremely low electron-hole recombination rate and the generation of re ...

Weight bias internalization and beliefs about the causes of obesity among the Canadian public

Author(s): Vida Forouhar

CONCLUSIONS: Weight bias internalization is prevalent among Canadians across all body weight statuses, and the public endorses behavioural causes of obesity, namely physical inactivity and overeating, more than its other causes. Findings warrant the reinforcement of efforts aimed at mitigating weight bias by educating the public about the complexity of ob ...

Mismatch between calf paternity and observed copulations between male and female reindeer: Multiple mating in a polygynous ungulate?

Author(s): Coombs KR; Weladji RB; Holand Ø; Røed KH;

In polygynous systems, such as that exhibited by reindeer Rangifer tarandus, mate choice can be difficult to disentangle from male intrasexual competition because male behavior may constrain female choice. Multiple mating may provide an avenue for female mate choice, though it is difficult to identify using behavioral estimators alone. Molecular technique ...

A deep learning framework to scale linear facial measurements to actual size using horizontal visible iris diameter: a study on an Iranian population

Author(s): Pirayesh Z; Hassanzadeh-Samani S; Farzan A; Rohban MH; Ghorbanimehr MS; Mohammad-Rahimi H; Motamedian SR;

Digital images allow for the objective evaluation of facial appearance and abnormalities as well as treatment outcomes and stability. With the advancement of technology, manual clinical measurements can be replaced with fully automatic photographic assessments. However, obtaining millimetric meas ...

Native diversity buffers against severity of non-native tree invasions

Author(s): Delavaux CS; Crowther TW; Zohner CM; Robmann NM; Lauber T; van den Hoogen J; Kuebbing S; Liang J; de-Miguel S; Nabuurs GJ; Reich PB; Abegg M; Adou Yao YC; Alberti G; Almeyda Zambrano AM; Alvarado BV; Alvarez-Dávila E; Alvarez-Loayza P; A ...

Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species1,2. Tree invasions in particular have been relatively overlooked, even though they have the potential to transform ecosystems and economies3,4. Here, levera ...

Spatial and Temporal Availability of Cloud-free Optical Observations in the Tropics to Monitor Deforestation

Author(s): Flores-Anderson AI; Cardille J; Azad K; Cherrington E; Zhang Y; Wilson S;

State-of-the-art methodologies to monitor deforestation rely mostly on optical satellite observations. High-density optical time series can enable the detection of deforestation almost as soon as it occurs. However, deforestation monitoring in the tropics can be hindered by high cloud coverage, and thus the responsiveness of managers, enforcement agencies ...

A Cluster Analysis of Oral and Cognitive Health Indicators: An Exploratory Study on Cholinergic Activity as the Link

Author(s): Rohani K; Nicolau B; Madathil S; Booij L; Jafarpour D; Haricharan PB; Feine J; Alchini R; Tamimi F; de Souza R;

Introduction: Poor oral health has been suggested as a risk factor for cognitive decline. Yet, biologically plausible mechanisms explaining this relationship remain unknown. Objectives: We aimed (1) to identify oral and cognitive health clustering patterns among middle-aged to elderly Canadians ...

NMDA Receptors in the Basolateral Amygdala Complex Are Engaged for Pavlovian Fear Conditioning When an Animal's Predictions about Danger Are in Error

Author(s): Tuval Keidar

It is widely accepted that Pavlovian fear conditioning requires activation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). However, it was recently shown that activation of NMDAR in the BLA is only required for fear conditioning when danger occurs unexpectedly; it is not required for fear conditioning when danger occurs as expected. ...

A Qualitative Evaluation of a Plate-Method Dietary Self-Monitoring Tool in a Sample of Adults Over 50

Author(s): Bouchaud CC; Chriqui JR; Slim M; Gouin JP; Plourde H; Cohen TR;

Background: Self-monitoring is an important behavioral change technique to help users initiate and maintain dietary changes. Diet self-monitoring tools often involve the itemization of foods and recording of serving sizes. However, this traditional method of tracking does not conform to food guides using plate-based approach to nutrition education, such a ...
