Enzymes play a pivotal role in "green chemistry" as tools for biocatalysis. Oxidoreductase enzymes are especially useful for carrying out key electron transfer (redox) steps towards a wide range of chemical transformations (e.g., asymmetric hydrogenation, oxygenation, hydroxylation, epoxidation, or Baeyer-Villiger oxidation) that might not other ...

There is a growing interest to study cerebellar contributions to aging outside of traditional sensory processing and motor tasks. While cerebellar aging analyses typically utilize functional connectivity (FC) to study functional differences with age, this study aimed to identify a marker of healthy aging based on resting state blood oxygenation level depe ...

The development of multifunctional electro-spun nanofibrous mats has been explored as an effective platform for implantable localized cancer treatment because they provide a supportive matrix to regenerate tissues and deliver encapsulated anticancer drugs to suppress the proliferation of cancer cells. However, conventionally designed nanofibrous scaffolds ...

Insomnia and anxiety are highly prevalent and often comorbid in older adults. Although cognitive behavioural therapy is the first-line treatment for insomnia, few interventions simultaneously address both conditions. Furthermore, access remains limited by provider availability and high costs. To ...

Objective: To determine if physiotherapy outcomes differ in children with concussion treated in-clinic versus virtually. Methods: Licensed physiotherapists assessed and treated 23 children with concussion using telehealth delivery during COVID-19. These patients were matched to children assessed and treated in-clinic before (n = 23) and during (n = 23) t ...

Background: Multimodal exercise programs do not specifically target lumbar paraspinal musculature, but incorporate aspects of different exercises to have an overall benefit. Objective: To investigate the effect of a multimodal exercise program on paraspinal muscle volume and composition, and patient outcomes in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLB ...

Neospora caninum (protozoa: Apicomplexa) is a major cause of economic losses in bovine production systems due to reproductive failure and abortion in cows. Although there is evidence of camelids being exposed to N. caninum, the importance of these animals in the parasite's life cycle is uncle ...

We study metastable behaviour in systems of weakly interacting Brownian particles with localised, attractive potentials which are smooth and globally bounded. In this particular setting, numerical evidence suggests that the particles converge on a short time scale to a " droplet state" which is metastable, i.e. persists on a much longer time sca ...

Real-time dynamic imaging of microbubbles is crucial for understanding their microscale biophysical interactions and advancing ultrasound therapy. Despite progress in time-resolved optical imaging, existing techniques still face trade-offs between acquisition speed, spatial resolution, affordability, and system complexity. Here, we introduce compressed op ...

Biosurfactants offer a green, sustainable approach to many environmental bioremediations, especially for oil contamination. In this study, the aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of biosurfactants in accelerating hydrocarbon removal from mature fine tailings under anaerobic conditions. The bacteria were isolated from mature fine tailings and tested for b ...
