The Key Role of Intrinsic Lifetime Dynamics from Upconverting Nanosystems in Multiemission Particle Velocimetry

Author(s): Tessitore G; Maurizio SL; Sabri T; Skinner CD; Capobianco JA;

Evaluation of particle dynamics at the nano- and microscale poses a challenge to the development of novel velocimetry techniques. Established optical methods implement external or internal calibrations of the emission profiles by varying the particle velocity and are limited to specific experimental conditions. The proposed multiemission particle velocime ...

Seasonal Changes in Lumbar Multifidus Muscle in University Rugby Players.

Author(s): Roy A, Rivaz H, Rizk A, Frenette S, Boily M, Fortin M

PURPOSE: Although smaller lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM) was reported to be a strong predictor of lower limb injury (LLI) in Australian Football League (AFL) players, LMM morphology has not been investigated in rugby athletes. This study examined seasonal changes in LMM in rugby players and whether LMM characteristics were associated with low back pain (L ...

A reliable, reproducible flow cytometry protocol for immune cell quantification in human adipose tissue.

Author(s): Delaney KZ, Dam V, Murphy J, Morais JA, Denis R, Atlas H, Pescarus R, Garneau PY, Santosa S

The ability to accurately identify and quantify immune cell populations within adipose tissue is important in understanding the role of immune cells in metabolic disease risk. Flow cytometry is the gold standard method for immune cell quantification. However, quantification of immune cells from a ...

Appetitive olfactory conditioning in the neonatal male rat facilitates subsequent sexual partner preference.

Author(s): Ménard S, Gelez H, Jacubovitch M, Coria-Avila GA, Pfaus JG

Pairing a neutral odor with a male rat's initial sexual experiences to ejaculation produces a subsequent conditioned ejaculatory preference (CEP) in which males ejaculate preferentially with receptive females that bear the odor relative to unscented receptive females. In 1986, Fillion and Blass reported that neonatal male rats exposed to a neutral lem ...

The phenotype associated with variants in TANGO2 may be explained by a dual role of the protein in ER-to-Golgi transport and at the mitochondria.

Author(s): Milev MP, Saint-Dic D, Zardoui K, Klopstock T, Law C, Distelmaier F, Sacher M

TANGO2 variants result in a complex disease phenotype consisting of recurrent crisis-induced rhabdomyolysis, encephalopathy, seizures, lactic acidosis, hypoglycemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Although first described in a fruit fly model as a protein necessary for some aspect of Golgi function and organization, its role in the cell at a fundamental level h ...

Molecular Copper(I)-Copper(II) Photosensitizer-Catalyst Photoelectrode for Water Oxidation.

Author(s): Singh Z, Donnarumma PR, Majewski MB

Copper(II)-based electrocatalysts for water oxidation in aqueous solution have been studied previously, but photodriving these systems still remains a challenge. In this work, a bis(diimine)copper(I)-based donor-chromophore-acceptor system is synthesized and applied as the light-harvesting component of a photoanode. This molecular assembly was integrated ...

Implicit theories of emotion and mental health during adolescence: the mediating role of emotion regulation.

Author(s): De France K, Hollenstein T

Despite strong evidence of the influence of implicit theories of emotion (ITE) on mental health symptoms among adult samples, scant attention has been paid to this important relation during adolescence. Moreover, it remains unclear which proximal processes may help to explain the link between ITE and mental health. As such, the current study had two objec ...

Birth weight is associated with adolescent brain development: A multimodal imaging study in monozygotic twins.

Author(s): Hayward DA, Pomares F, Casey KF, Ismaylova E, Levesque M, Greenlaw K, Vitaro F, Brendgen M, Rénard F, Dionne G, Boivin M, Tremblay RE, Booij L

Previous research has shown that the prenatal environment, commonly indexed by birth weight (BW), is a predictor of morphological brain development. We previously showed in monozygotic (MZ) twins associations between BW and brain morphology that were independent of genetics. In the present study, ...

Assessing Increased Activities of the Forearm Muscles Due to Anti-Vibration Gloves: Construct Validity of a Refined Methodology.

Author(s): Yao Y, Rakheja S, Larivière C, Marcotte P

OBJECTIVE: The primary aim was to test the construct validity of a surface electromyography (EMG) measurement protocol, indirectly assessing the effects of anti-vibration (AV) gloves on activities of the forearm muscles. BACKGROUND: AV gloves impose a relatively higher grip demand and thus a higher risk for musculoskeletal disorders. Consequently, activit ...

Comprehensive evaluation of adsorption performances of carbonaceous materials for sulfonamide antibiotics removal.

Author(s): Luo B, Huang G, Yao Y, An C, Li W, Zheng R, Zhao K

Sulfonamide antibiotics have highly toxic effects on humans and other organisms within the food chain. Adsorption by various carbonaceous materials is an effective method for removing them from the aqueous environment. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted between adsorbents and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by studies of characterization, isotherm model, ...
