Deep neural network-based robotic visual servoing for satellite target tracking

Author(s): Ghiasvand S; Xie WF; Mohebbi A;

In response to the costly and error-prone manual satellite tracking on the International Space Station (ISS), this paper presents a deep neural network (DNN)-based robotic visual servoing solution to the automated tracking operation. This innovative approach directly addresses the critical issue of motion decoupling, which poses a significant challenge in ...

Cell Fate Dynamics Reconstruction Identifies TPT1 and PTPRZ1 Feedback Loops as Master Regulators of Differentiation in Pediatric Glioblastoma-Immune Cell Networks

Author(s): Abicumaran Uthamacumaran

Pediatric glioblastoma is a complex dynamical disease that is difficult to treat due to its multiple adaptive behaviors driven largely by phenotypic plasticity. Integrated data science and network theory pipelines offer novel approaches to studying glioblastoma cell fate dynamics, particularly phenotypic transitions over time. Here we used various single- ...

Challenges and Approaches in the Study of Neural Entrainment

Author(s): Duecker K; Doelling KB; Breska A; Coffey EBJ; Sivarao DV; Zoefel B;

When exposed to rhythmic stimulation, the human brain displays rhythmic activity across sensory modalities and regions. Given the ubiquity of this phenomenon, how sensory rhythms are transformed into neural rhythms remains surprisingly inconclusive. An influential model posits that endogenous oscillations entrain to external rhythms, thereby encoding envi ...

Relational conflicts during COVID-19: Impact of loss and reduction of employment due to prevention measures and the influence of sex and stress (in the iCARE study)

Author(s): Tremblay N; Leger C; Deslauriers F; Hébert-Auger L; Gosselin-Boucher V; Bacon SL; Dialufuma MV; Lavoie KL;

This study explored the association between pandemic-related loss/reduction of employment, sex, COVID-19-related stress and relational conflicts. A sample of 5103 Canadians from the iCARE study were recruited through an online polling firm between October 29, 2020, and March 23, 2021. Logistic re ...

The effect of EMS, IFC, and TENS on patient-reported outcome measures for chronic low back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Author(s): Wolfe D; Rosenstein B; Fortin M;

Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Transcutaneous electrotherapies have been widely used to treat CLBP but, with the partial exception of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), their effect on pain, disability, quality-of-life, and psychosocial outcomes have not been syste ...

Where Lies the Harm in Lottery Gambling? A Portrait of Gambling Practices and Associated Problems

Author(s): Costes JM; Kairouz S; Monson E; Eroukmanoff V;

Lotteries are one of the most prevalent forms of gambling and generate substantial state revenues. They are also argued to be one of the least harmful forms of gambling. This paper is one of the first to examine exclusive lottery gamblers and compares their gambling patterns and problems as well other associated risky behaviours to those who are not exclu ...

Family dysfunction, stressful life events, and mental health problems across development in the offspring of parents with an affective disorder

Author(s): Resendes T; Ellenbogen MA; Oldehinkel AJ;

Background: Offspring of parents with affective disorders (OAD) are at risk of developing a wide range of mental disorders. Deficits in the rearing environment and high levels of stress are well-known risk factors for negative outcomes in OAD. Building on prior research, we aim to examine the longitudinal relationships between family dysfunction, stressfu ...

Association of childhood externalizing, internalizing, comorbid problems with criminal convictions by early adulthood

Author(s): Melissa Commisso

Childhood externalizing problems have been linked with adult criminality. However, little is known about criminal outcomes among children with comorbid externalizing and internalizing problems. We examined the associations between profiles of behavioral problems during childhood (i.e., externalizing, internalizing, and comorbid) and criminality by early a ...
