SCHC over LoRaWAN Efficiency: Evaluation and Experimental Performance of Packet Fragmentation

Author(s): Muñoz R; Saez Hidalgo J; Canales F; Dujovne D; Céspedes S;

Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) are expected to enable the massive connectivity of small and constrained devices to the Internet of Things. Due to the restricted nature of both end devices and network links, LPWAN technologies employ network stacks where there is no interoperable network layer as a general case; instead, application data are usually ...

The relationship between weight bias internalization and healthy and unhealthy weight control behaviours

Author(s): Levy M; Kakinami L; Alberga AS;

Purpose: Weight bias internalization (WBI) is associated with disordered eating symptomology and motivation to control weight. The relationship between WBI and specific weight control behaviours and how these behaviours differ between men and women is not well understood. The objectives of this study are to determine (1) the relationship between WBI and w ...

Games researchers play: conceptual advancement versus validation strategies

Author(s): Dubois F; R Peres-Neto P;

Conceptual advances and validation are critical to research, yet at odds. Using a game theoretical perspective, we show that a mixed strategy combining advances and validation, leads to increases in both individual researchers' and societal gains. This win-win outcome can be used to design new research strategies, funding, and recognition standards.

Viral Generation, Packaging, and Transduction on a Digital Microfluidic Platform

Author(s): Quach ABV; Little SR; Shih SCC;

Viral-based systems are a popular delivery method for introducing exogenous genetic material into mammalian cells. Unfortunately, the preparation of lentiviruses containing the machinery to edit the cells is labor-intensive, with steps requiring optimization and sensitive handling. To mitigate these challenges, we introduce the first microfluidic method t ...

Screening of novel fungal Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 enzymes identifies three novel dual feruloyl/acetyl xylan esterases

Author(s): Dilokpimol A; Verkerk B; Li X; Bellemare A; Lavallee M; Frommhagen M; Nørmølle Underlin E; Kabel MA; Powlowski J; Tsang A; de Vries RP;

Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) are important enzymes for plant biomass degradation and are both present in Carbohydrate Esterase family 1 (CE1) of the Carbohydrate-Active enZymes database. In this study, ten novel fungal CE1 enzymes from different subfamilies were het ...

Guidance to (Re)integrate Caregivers as Essential Care Partners Into the LTC Setting: A Rapid Review

Author(s): Palubiski LM; Tulsieram KL; Archibald D; Conklin J; Elliott J; Hsu A; Stolee P; Sveistrup H; Kothari A;

Objectives: This rapid review aimed to identify the strategies used to (re)integrate essential caregivers (ECs) into the LTC setting, particularly pertaining to principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. In addition, this rapid review aimed to identify the strategies used during prior infect ...

Sperm histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation serves as a metabolic sensor of paternal obesity and is associated with the inheritance of metabolic dysfunction

Author(s): Anne-Sophie Pepin

CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest sperm H3K4me3 might serve as a metabolic sensor that connects paternal diet with offspring phenotypes via the placenta. This non-DNA-based knowledge of inheritance has the potential to improve our understanding of how environment shapes heritability and may lead to novel routes for the prevention of disease. This study highli ...

Mechanisms of hypericin incorporation to explain the photooxidation outcomes in phospholipid biomembrane models

Author(s): Pereira LSA; Camacho SA; Almeida AM; Gonçalves RS; Caetano W; DeWolf C; Aoki PHB;

Cell membranes are the first barriers for drug binding and key for the action of photosensitizers (PS). Herein, we report on the incorporation of the PS hypericin into Langmuir monolayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (DOPS), to represen ...

Progesterone rapidly alters the use of place and response memory during spatial navigation in female rats

Author(s): Lacasse JM; Patel S; Bailey A; Peronace V; Brake WG;

17ß-Estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) influence place and response memory in female rats in spatial navigation tasks. Use of these memory systems is associated with the hippocampus and the dorsal striatum, respectively. Injections of E2 result in a well-established bias to use place memory, while much less is understood about the role of P. A total of 1 ...

Metabolism of anti-inflammatory OXE (oxoeicosanoid) receptor antagonists by nonhuman primates

Author(s): Cossette C; Chourey S; Ye Q; Reddy CN; Wang R; Poulet S; Slobodchikova I; Vuckovic D; Rokach J; Powell WS;

5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is the only product of the proinflammatory 5-lipoxygenase pathway with potent chemoattractant effects for human eosinophils, suggesting an important role in eosinophilic diseases such as asthma. 5-Oxo-ETE, acting through its selective OXE receptor ...
