Subtle long-term cognitive effects of a single mild traumatic brain injury and the impact of a three-month aerobic exercise intervention.

Author(s): Larson-Dupuis C, Léveillé E, Desjardins M, Jodoin M, Bourassa MÈ, Bergeron H, Beaulieu C, Carrier J, Pepin V, De Beaumont L

BACKGROUND: Although there is a growing body of literature on the impact of multiple concussions on cognitive function with aging, less is known about the long-term impact of sustaining a single mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Additionally, very few interventions exist to treat mTBI patients ...

Mediating role of body-related shame and guilt in the relationship between weight perceptions and lifestyle behaviours.

Author(s): Lucibello KM, Sabiston CM, O'Loughlin EK, O'Loughlin JL

Introduction: A substantial proportion of individuals with overweight or obesity perceive themselves as 'too heavy' relative to 'about right'. Perceiving one's weight as 'too heavy' is associated with lower levels of physical activity and higher levels of sedentary behaviour. However, the mechanisms underpinning the association ...

Self-Healable Reprocessable Triboelectric Nanogenerators Fabricated with Vitrimeric Poly(hindered Urea) Networks.

Author(s): Patel T, Kim MP, Park J, Lee TH, Nellepalli P, Noh SM, Jung HW, Ko H, Oh JK

In recent years, the advent of highly deformable and healable electronics is exciting and promising for next-generation electronic devices. In particular, self-healable triboelectric nanogenerators (SH-TENGs) serve as promising candidates based on the combination of the triboelectric effect, electrostatic induction, and self-healing action. However, the m ...

Stress-Related Trajectories of Diurnal Cortisol in Older Adulthood Over 12 Years.

Author(s): Herriot H, Wrosch C, Hamm JM, Pruessner JC

OBJECTIVE: Although evidence shows that stress experiences can predict both hyper- and hypo-cortisol regulation, there is a lack of research examining these associations longitudinally. Our study assessed whether levels and increases in psychological stress experiences predicted 12-year changes in circadian cortisol levels (area under the curve; AUC) and ...

Exploring the threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis on mate competition in two wild populations of Trinidadian guppies.

Author(s): Chuard PJC, Grant JWA, Ramnarine IW, Brown GE

The intensity of mate competition is often influenced by predation pressure. The threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis predicts that prey should precisely adjust their fitness-related activities to the level of perceived acute predation risk and this effect should be stronger under high background risk. Individuals should compensate during period ...

Theory of mind development: State of the science and future directions.

Author(s): Poulin-Dubois D

This chapter offers a brief overview of how research on theory of mind development has developed over the recent years, with a focus on current research and theoretical accounts of theory of mind during the infancy period. The topics covered include the factors contributing to individual differences in theory of mind skills in preschoolers, the current re ...

Temperature drives caste-specific morphological clines in ants.

Author(s): Brassard F, Francoeur A, Lessard JP

1. The morphology of organisms relates to most aspects of their life history and autecology. As such, elucidating the drivers of morphological variation along environmental gradients might give insight into processes limiting species distributions. In eusocial organisms, the concept of morphology is more complex than in solitary organisms. Eusocial insect ...

A novel homozygous variant in TRAPPC2L results in a neurodevelopmental disorder and disrupts TRAPP complex function.

Author(s): Al-Deri N, Okur V, Ahimaz P, Milev M, Valivullah Z, Hagen J, Sheng Y, Chung W, Sacher M, Ganapathi M

BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing has facilitated the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders with variable and non-specific clinical findings. Recently, a homozygous missense p.(Asp37Tyr) variant in TRAPPC2L, a core subunit of TRAPP complexes which function as tethering factors during mem ...

Acceleration mechanism of bioavailable Fe(Ⅲ) on Te(IV) bioreduction of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1: Promotion of electron generation, electron transfer and energy level.

Author(s): He Y, Guo J, Song Y, Chen Z, Lu C, Han Y, Li H, Hou Y, Zhao R

The release of highly toxic tellurite into the aquatic environment poses significant environmental risks. The acceleration mechanism and tellurium nanorods (TeNPs) characteristics with bioavailable ferric citrate (Fe(III)) were investigated in the tellurite (Te(IV)) bioreduction. Experiments showed that 5?mM Fe(III) increased the Te(IV) bioreduction rate ...

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface of bis-(2-amino-pyridinium) hexa-chlorido-stannate(IV).

Author(s): Ghallab R, Boutebdja M, Dénès G, Merazig H

In the title mol-ecular salt, (C5H7N2)2[SnCl6], the cation is protonated at the pyridine N atom and the complete dianion is generated by a crystallographic centre of symmetry. In the crystal, N-H?Cl hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network built up from the stacking of alternate cationic and anionic layers. The nature of the int ...
