Radiosynthesis and In Vivo Evaluation of Four Positron Emission Tomography Tracer Candidates for Imaging of Melatonin Receptors

Author(s): Bdair H; Singleton TA; Ross K; Jolly D; Kang MS; Aliaga A; Tuznik M; Kaur T; Yous S; Soucy JP; Massarweh G; Scott PJH; Koeppe R; Spadoni G; Bedini A; Rudko DA; Gobbi G; Benkelfat C; Rosa-Neto P; Brooks AF; Kostikov A;

Melatonin is a neurohormone that modulates several physiological functions in mammals through the activation of melatonin receptor type 1 and 2 (MT1 and MT2). The melatonergic system is an emerging therapeutic target for new pharmacological interventions in the treatment of sleep and mood disorde ...

Gesture development in infancy: Effects of gender but not bilingualism

Author(s): Germain N; Gonzalez-Barrero AM; Byers-Heinlein K;

Gesture is an important communication tool that provides insight into infants' early language and cognitive development and predicts later language skills. While bilingual school-age children have been reported to gesture more than monolinguals, there is a lack of research examining gesture use in infants exposed to more than one language. In this pre ...

Gold Tablets: Gold Nanoparticles Encapsulated into Dextran Tablets and Their pH-Responsive Behavior as an Easy-to-Use Platform for Multipurpose Applications

Author(s): Sadiq Z; Safiabadi Tali SH; Jahanshahi-Anbuhi S;

Many applications using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) require (i) their functionalization with a biopolymer to increase their stability and (ii) their transformation into an easy-to-handle material, which provide them with specific properties. In this research, a portable tablet platform is presented based on dextran-encapsulated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-dT ...

Regional variation drives differences in microbial communities associated with sugar maple across a latitudinal range

Author(s): De Bellis T; Laforest-Lapointe I; Solarik KA; Gravel D; Kembel SW;

Climate change is prompting plants to migrate and establish novel interactions in new habitats. Because of the pivotal roles microbes have on plant health and function, it is important to understand the ecological consequences of these shifts in host-microbe interactions with range expansion. Here we examine how the diversity of plant associated microbes ...

High gain low-cost antenna based on the utilization of diffracted fields from semi-ring shape dielectric edges

Author(s): Al-Alem Y; Sifat SM; Antar YMM; Kishk AA;

A simple antenna with a 20-dBi gain is proposed. A thorough analysis of the propagation mechanism accompanied by a unique physical insight is provided. The realized structure has a low profile, low-cost, and compact features. A detailed insight into applying the Fresnel-Huygens principle is provided.

Carbohydrate esterase family 16 contains fungal hemicellulose acetyl esterases (HAEs) with varying specificity

Author(s): Venegas FA; Koutaniemi S; Langeveld SMJ; Bellemare A; Chong SL; Dilokpimol A; Lowden MJ; Hilden KS; Leyva-Illades JF; Mäkelä MR; My Pham TT; Peng M; Hancock MA; Zheng Y; Tsang A; Tenkanen M; Powlowski J; de Vries RP;

Acetyl esterases are an important component of the enzymatic machinery fungi use to degrade plant biomass and are classified in several Carbohydrate Esterase families of the CAZy classification system. Carbohydrate Esterase family 16 (CE16) is one of the more recently discovered CAZy families, bu ...

Prediction error determines whether NMDA receptors in the basolateral amygdala complex are involved in Pavlovian fear conditioning

Author(s): Williams-Spooner MJ; Delaney AJ; Westbrook RF; Holmes NM;

It is widely accepted that activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) is necessary for the formation of fear memories in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). This acceptance is based on findings that blockade of NMDAR in the BLA disrupts Pavlovian fear conditioning in rodents when initially innocuous stimuli are paired with aversive and unexp ...

Effects of language mixing on bilingual children's word learning

Author(s): Byers-Heinlein K; Jardak A; Fourakis E; Lew-Williams C;

Language mixing is common in bilingual children's learning environments. Here, we investigated effects of language mixing on children's learning of new words. We tested two groups of 3-year-old bilinguals: French-English (Experiment 1) and Spanish-English (Experiment 2). Children were taught two novel words, one in single-language sentences ("Look ...
