Background: Phenylalanine is an essential aromatic amino acid that can only be synthesized de novo by microorganisms and plants. In microorganisms, phenylalanine is synthesized through the prephenate pathway, requiring the activity of a prephenate dehydratase (PDT). In plants, phenylalanine is synthesized instead mostly through the arogenate pathway, re ...

Musicians convey timing "feels" in groove-based performance by manipulating onset asynchrony between instruments and the durational ratio of metrical subdivisions (non-isochrony, or "swing"). The present study tested whether listeners perceive such fine-grained timing deviations by measuring the just-noticeable difference (JND) thres ...

Antioxidants added to tires to prevent degradation have recently been recognized as emerging environmental contaminants. While their acute aquatic toxicity has raised concern, these compounds are also emitted to the atmosphere and can be associated with particulate matter (PM). On PM they can r ...

Bilingual children learn their languages through rich interactions with caregivers within dynamic family contexts. However, little is known about how families align their two languages to support bilingual acquisition and how this varies across bilingual communities. This study examines language choice alignment across two communities: French-English fa ...

Few studies have characterized metabolically healthy (MHO) and unhealthy obesity (MUO) in pediatric populations over time. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of MHO in children and adolescents enrolled in a weight management program and examine changes in cardiometabolic indicators over 1 year.Methods: Participants from the CANa ...

eXtended Reality (XR) technologies often embed ableist design assumptions, privileging hand-based interaction and vision-centric interfaces that presume a normative able-bodied user. As a result, many disabled people-including those with limited mobility or blindness-are excluded from the outset, with accessibility added only as an afterthought. We crit ...

Despite growing public and scientific interest in consensually non-monogamous (CNM) relationships, clinical and empirical understandings of the challenges faced by people who engage in polyamory remain limited. To address this gap, we conducted a content analysis of 763 open-ended responses from 219 individuals currently in a polyamorous relationship wh ...
