Parental Language Mixing in Montreal: Rates, Predictors, and Relation to Infants Vocabulary Size

Author(s): Paquette A; Byers-Heinlein K;

Language mixing is a common feature of bilingual communication, yet its predictors and effects on children's vocabulary development remain debated. Most research has been conducted in contexts with clear societal and heritage languages, leaving open questions about language mixing in environments with two societal languages. Montreal provides a unique ...

Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Mosquito Species (Culicidae) in a Ramsar Site, Fetzara Lake (Annaba, Algeria)

Author(s): Rouibi A; Rouibi A; Khelifa R;

Mosquito community composition can differ spatially and temporally within the same wetlands. Understanding this spatiotemporal variation is crucial, particularly in wetlands of conservation importance. Here, we examine the diversity and community composition of Culicidae (Diptera) across four sites within Fetzara Lake, a large Ramsar site in Northeast Alg ...

Lung Nodule Malignancy Classification Integrating Deep and Radiomic Features in a Three-Way Attention-Based Fusion Module

Author(s): Khademi S; Heidarian S; Afshar P; Mohammadi A; Sidiqi A; Nguyen ET; Ganeshan B; Oikonomou A;

In this study, we propose a novel hybrid framework for assessing the invasiveness of an in-house dataset of 114 pathologically proven lung adenocarcinomas presenting as subsolid nodules on Computed Tomography (CT). Nodules were classified into group 1 (G1), which included atypical adenomatous hyp ...

Parents Experiences and Clinicians Perceptions of Managing Cancer Pain in Young Children at Home

Author(s): Jibb LA; Hashemi E; Sivaratnam S; Hildenbrand AK; Nathan PC; Chartrand J; Alberts NM; Masama T; Pease HG; Torres LB; Cortes HG; Zworth M; Kuczynski S; Fortier MA;

Background: Pain is a prevalent and distressing symptom for children with cancer, negatively affecting quality of life and family functioning. While most research focuses on hospital-based care, many pain episodes occur at home, where parents act as primary caregivers with limited access to evide ...

Age estimation via electrocardiogram from smartwatches

Author(s): Adib A; Zhu WP; Ahmad MO;

Age estimation is increasingly vital for regulating access to age-restricted services, especially to protect children online. Traditional methods-ID checks, facial recognition, and databases-raise concerns about privacy and reliability in digital contexts. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, reflecting heart activity, offer a promising alternative due to the ...

The effectiveness of auditory stimulation in sleep varies with thalamocortical spindle phase

Author(s): Jourde HR; Ujevco A; Coffey EBJ;

Slow oscillations and sleep spindles are neural events that both occur during non-rapid eye movement sleep and are implicated in sleep-dependent memory consolidation. Their temporal co-occurrence, or 'coupling', is thought to support sleep-dependent memory processes. The roles of these neural events can be explored through non-invasive brain stimu ...

Effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia during sedative-hypnotics withdrawal on sleep and cognition in older adults

Author(s): Barbaux L; Cross NE; Perrault AA; Es-Sounni M; Desrosiers C; Clerc D; Andriamampionona F; Lussier D; Tannenbaum C; Guimond A; Grenier S; Gouin JP; Dang-Vu TT;

Objectives: Our objective was to assess the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) on subjective and objective sleep quality (including sleep spindles) and cognition during a sedative-hypnotics withdrawal program in older adults with insomnia disorder.

Modeling the Ethylene Sequence Length Distribution of Metallocene-Catalyzed Bimodal Polyethylene

Author(s): Sattari M; Kwakye-Nimo S; Inn Y; Karimi PA; Wood-Adams PM;

The structure of bimodal poly-(ethylene-hexene) is presented in terms of the ethylene sequence length distribution. This distribution is determined by applying statistical modeling to molecular weight and short chain branching distributions obtained from gel permeation chromatography (GPC). We found that the ethylene sequence length distribution of bimoda ...

The Bug-Network (BugNet): A Global Experimental Network Testing the Effects of Invertebrate Herbivores and Fungal Pathogens on Plant Communities and Ecosystem Function in Open Ecosystems

Author(s): Kempel A; Adamidis GC; Anadón JD; Atkinson J; Auge H; Avtzis D; Bachelot B; Bashirzadeh M; Bota JL; Classen A; Constantinou I; Crawley M; de Bellis T; Dostal P; Ebeling A; Eisenhauer N; Eldridge DJ; Encina G; Estrada C; Everingham S; Fan ...

Plants are consumed by a variety of organisms, including herbivores and pathogens, which significantly impact plant biomass, diversity, community composition, and ecosystem functioning. While the impacts of vertebrate herbivores are well established, the effects of consumer groups such as insect ...

Scalable Synthesis of High-Quality Graphene Quantum Dots by Reductive Intercalation/Exfoliation of Coal

Author(s): Bepete G; Ratnayake G; Sanchez DE; Yu Z; Dimitrov E; Fest Carreno A; Oliveira MCD; Viana BC; Santos FEP; Terrones M;

Coal, historically a low-cost and abundant energy resource, is emerging as a promising carbon-rich precursor for advanced nanomaterials. In this work, we introduce a reductive intercalation strategy to synthesize reduced (electron-rich) graphene quantum dots (GQDs) directly from anthracite coal. ...

Cerebral small vessel disease lesion segmentation methods: A systematic review

Author(s): Phelps J; Singh M; McCreary CR; Dallaire-Théroux C; Stein RG; Potvin-Jutras Z; Guan DX; Wu JD; Metz A; Smith EE;

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can manifest as brain lesions visible on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, and recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI). Detection and segmentation of thes ...
