A protocol for trustworthy EEG decoding with neural networks

Author(s): Borra D; Magosso E; Ravanelli M;

Deep learning solutions have rapidly emerged for EEG decoding, achieving state-of-the-art performance on a variety of decoding tasks. Despite their high performance, existing solutions do not fully address the challenge posed by the introduction of many hyperparameters, defining data pre-processing, network architecture, network training, and data augment ...

AAT4IRS: automated acceptance testing for industrial robotic systems

Author(s): Dos Santos MG; Hallé S; Petrillo F; Guéhéneuc YG;

Industrial robotic systems (IRS) consist of industrial robots that automate industrial processes. They accurately perform repetitive tasks, replacing or assisting with dangerous jobs like assembly in the automotive and chemical industries. Failures in these systems can be catastrophic, so it is important to ensure their quality and safety before using the ...

Investigating the kinetics of marine and terrestrial organic carbon incorporation and degradation in coastal bulk sediment and water settings through isotopic lenses

Author(s): Mirzaei Y; Gélinas Y;

Coastal sediments are the main deposition center for allochthonous and autochthonous organic carbon (OC). The discharge of terrestrial biomass, anthropogenic activities, oceanic primary productivity, and natural events contribute to this carbon pool. The OC buried in sediments undergoes alteration through physical, biological and chemical processes, becom ...

A randomized controlled trial of an acceptance-based, insight-inducing medication adherence therapy (AIM-AT) for adults with early-stage psychosis

Author(s): Chien WT; Chong YY; Bressington D; McMaster CW;

This study aimed to test the effectiveness of an acceptance-based medication adherence intervention for people with early-stage psychosis. An assessor-blind, three-arm randomized controlled trial design was used. One hundred and twenty-six participants who were adults with =3 years of psychosis were recruited from four district Integrated Community Center ...

How to present work productivity loss results from clinical trials for patients and caregivers? A mixed methods approach

Author(s): L' Heureux J; McTaggart-Cowan H; Johns G; Chen L; Steiner T; Tocher P; Sun H; Zhang W;

Objectives: From the perspectives of patients and caregivers, the objectives were: identifying which result presentations, describing work productivity loss (WPL) outcomes, are most understandable; measuring which presentations are important to report; and investigating which WPL outcomes are vie ...

Prospects of Novel and Repurposed Immunomodulatory Drugs against Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Associated with COVID-19 Disease

Author(s): Nayak SS; Naidu A; Sudhakaran SL; Vino S; Selvaraj G;

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is intricately linked with SARS-CoV-2-associated disease severity and mortality, especially in patients with co-morbidities. Lung tissue injury caused as a consequence of ARDS leads to fluid build-up in the alveolar sacs, which in turn affects oxygen supply from the capillaries. ARDS is a result of a hyperinflamm ...

A multi-center, randomized, 12-month, parallel-group, feasibility study to assess the acceptability and preliminary impact of family navigation plus usual care versus usual care on attrition in managing pediatric obesity: a study protocol

Author(s): Ball GDC; O' Neill MG; Noor R; Alberga A; Azar R; Buchholz A; Enright M; Geller J; Ho J; Holt NL; Lebel T; Rosychuk RJ; Tarride JE; Zenlea I;

Background: Pediatric obesity management can be successful, but some families discontinue care prematurely (i.e., attrition), limiting treatment impact. Attrition is often a consequence of barriers and constraints that limit families' access to obesity management. Family Navigation (FN) can i ...

The effects of walking in nature on negative and positive affect in adult psychiatric outpatients with major depressive disorder: A randomized-controlled study

Author(s): Watkins-Martin K; Bolani D; Richard-Devantoy S; Pennestri MH; Malboeuf-Hurtubise C; Philippe F; Guindon J; Gouin JP; Ouellet-Morin I; Geoffroy MC;

Background: While walking in nature has been shown to improve affect in adults from the community to a greater extent than walking in urban settings, it is unknown whether such benefits apply to individuals suffering from depression. Using a parallel group design, this randomized controlled trial ...

Neural evidence for age-related deficits in the representation of state spaces

Author(s): Ruel A; Bolenz F; Li SC; Fischer A; Eppinger B;

Under high cognitive demands, older adults tend to resort to simpler, habitual, or model-free decision strategies. This age-related shift in decision behavior has been attributed to deficits in the representation of the cognitive maps, or state spaces, necessary for more complex model-based decision-making. Yet, the neural mechanisms behind this shift rem ...

Recent developments in photocatalysis of industrial effluents ։ A review and example of phenolic compounds degradation

Author(s): Motamedi M; Yerushalmi L; Haghighat F; Chen Z;

Industrial expansion and increased water consumption have created water scarcity concerns. Meanwhile, conventional wastewater purification methods have failed to degrade recalcitrant pollutants efficiently. The present review paper discusses the recent advances and challenges in photocatalytic processes applied for industrial effluents treatment, with res ...
