Leveraging Personal Technologies in the Treatment of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders: Scoping Review

Author(s): D' Arcey J; Torous J; Asuncion TR; Tackaberry-Giddens L; Zahid A; Ishak M; Foussias G; Kidd S;

Background: Digital mental health is a rapidly growing field with an increasing evidence base due to its potential scalability and impacts on access to mental health care. Further, within underfunded service systems, leveraging personal technologies to deliver or support specialized service deliv ...

Context-induced renewal of passive but not active coping behaviours in the shock-probe defensive burying task

Author(s): Alexa Brown

Renewal is the return of extinguished responding after removal from the extinction context. Renewal has been extensively studied using classical aversive conditioning procedures that measure a passive freezing response to an aversive conditioned stimulus. However, coping responses to aversive stimuli are complex and can be reflected in passive and active ...

Cross-collection latent Beta-Liouville allocation model training with privacy protection and applications

Author(s): Luo Z; Amayri M; Fan W; Bouguila N;

Cross-collection topic models extend previous single-collection topic models, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), to multiple collections. The purpose of cross-collection topic modeling is to model document-topic representations and reveal similarities between each topic and differences among groups. However, the restriction of Dirichlet prior and ...

Learning processes in relapse to alcohol use: lessons from animal models

Author(s): Valyear MD; LeCocq MR; Brown A; Villaruel FR; Segal D; Chaudhri N;

Rationale: Alcohol use is reliably preceded by discrete and contextual stimuli which, through diverse learning processes, acquire the capacity to promote alcohol use and relapse to alcohol use. Objective: We review contemporary extinction, renewal, reinstatement, occasion setting, and sex differences research within a conditioning framework of relapse to ...

Supplementary dataset of context-dependent conditioned responding to an alcohol-predictive cue in female and male rats

Author(s): Segal D; Valyear MD; Chaudhri N;

This supplementary dataset is supportive of the research article entitled 'The role of context on responding to an alcohol-predictive cue in female and male rats' [1]. This article describes the raw data pertaining to the behaviour of male and female rats during intermittent to ethanol and Pavlovian conditioning training and testing procedures. Sp ...

Entropy-Based Variational Scheme with Component Splitting for the Efficient Learning of Gamma Mixtures

Author(s): Bourouis S; Pawar Y; Bouguila N;

Finite Gamma mixture models have proved to be flexible and can take prior information into account to improve generalization capability, which make them interesting for several machine learning and data mining applications. In this study, an efficient Gamma mixture model-based approach for proportional vector clustering is proposed. In particular, a sophi ...

Indeterminate and Enriched Propositions in Context Linger: Evidence From an Eye-Tracking False Memory Paradigm

Author(s): Antal C; de Almeida RG;

A sentence such as We finished the paper is indeterminate with regards to what we finished doing with the paper. Indeterminate sentences constitute a test case for two major issues regarding language comprehension: (1) how we compose sentence meaning; and (2) what is retained in memory about what we read in context over time. In an eye-tracking experiment ...

The role of context on responding to an alcohol-predictive cue in female and male rats

Author(s): Segal D; Valyear MD; Chaudhri N;

In male rats, physical contexts that are associated with alcohol can amplify responding to a discrete, alcohol-predictive conditioned stimulus (CS), and amplify prime-induced reinstatement. Here, we examined these effects as a function of biological sex. Male and female Long-Evans rats were acclimated to drinking ethanol (15% v/v) in their home cages. Nex ...

Depressive Symptoms and Social Context Modulate Oxytocin's Effect on Negative Memory Recall

Author(s): Wong SF; Cardoso C; Orlando MA; Brown CA; Ellenbogen MA;

Oxytocin promotes social affiliation across various species, in part by altering social cognition to facilitate approach behaviour. However, the effects of intranasal oxytocin on human social cognition are mixed, perhaps because its effects are context-dependent and subject to inter-individual differences. Few studies have included explicit manipulations ...

Filtration for improving surface water quality of a eutrophic lake.

Author(s): Palakkeel Veetil D, Arriagada EC, Mulligan CN, Bhat S

Algal blooms and the presence of cyanotoxins in surface water restrict the public from accessing lakes and beaches for drinking and recreational activities. An effort was taken in this on-site study to improve the surface water quality of a eutrophic lake, which has been under a swimming advisory for many years. A floating filtration unit with non-woven g ...
