Understanding the factors related to how East and Southeast Asian immigrant youth and families access mental health and substance use services: A scoping review.

The objective of the review is to identify factors related to how East and Southeast Asian immigrant youth aged 12-24 and their families access mental health and substance use (MHSU) services. To address how East and Southeast Asian youth and their families access mental health and substance use services, a scoping review was conducted to identify studies in these databases: PubMed, MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), PsychINFO, CINAHL, and Sociology Collection. Qualitative content analysis was used to deductively identify themes and was guided by Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory, the process-person-context-time (PPCT) model, and the five dimensions of care accessibility (approachability, acceptability, availability and accommodation, appropriateness, affordability).

Rasch analysis of the beck depression inventory in a homeless and precariously housed sample.

The approach to analysis of and interpretation of findings from the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), a self-report questionnaire, depends on sample characteristics. To extend work using conventional BDI scoring, the BDI's suitability in assessing symptom severity in a homeless and precariously housed sample was examined using Rasch analysis. Participants (n=478) recruited from an impoverished neighbourhood in Vancouver, Canada, completed the BDI.

The effects of dietary nitrate supplementation on endurance exercise performance and cardiorespiratory measures in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Nitrate supplementation is thought to improve performance in endurance sports.

Objective: To meta-analyze studies evaluating the effect of nitrate supplementation on endurance sports performance among adults.

Data Sources: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and CINAHL without language restrictions.

On the molecular correlations that result in field-dependent conductivities in electrolyte solutions.

Employing recent advances in response theory and nonequilibrium ensemble reweighting, we study the dynamic and static correlations that give rise to an electric field-dependent ionic conductivity in electrolyte solutions. We consider solutions modeled with both implicit and explicit solvents, with different dielectric properties, and at multiple concentrations. Implicit solvent models at low concentrations and small dielectric constants exhibit strongly field-dependent conductivities.

Field-Dependent Ionic Conductivities from Generalized Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations.

We derive a relationship for the electric field dependent ionic conductivity in terms of fluctuations of time integrated microscopic variables. We demonstrate this formalism with molecular dynamics simulations of solutions of differing ionic strength with implicit solvent conditions and molten salts. These calculations are aided by a novel nonequilibrium statistical reweighting scheme that allows for the conductivity to be computed as a continuous function of the applied field.

Atmospheric boundary layer turbulence structure for severe foggy haze episodes in north China in December 2016.

This paper aims to identify the atmospheric boundary layer turbulence structure and its effect on severe foggy haze events frequently occurring in Northern China. We use data collected from a ground eddy covariance system, meteorology tower, and a PM collector in Baoding, China during December 2016. The data shows that 73.

Parabolic dependence of the drag coefficient on wind speed from aircraft eddy-covariance measurements over the tropical Eastern Pacific.

In this study, we examine and present the relationship between drag coefficient and wind speed. We used an observational dataset that consists of 806 estimates of the mean flow and fluxes from aircraft eddy-covariance measurements over the tropical Eastern Pacific. To estimate the saturated wind speed threshold, we regressed the drag coefficients for wind speed scope from 10 ms to 28 ms.

Nonlinear transport coefficients from large deviation functions.

Nonlinear response occurs naturally when a strong perturbation takes a system far from equilibrium. Despite its omnipresence in nanoscale systems, it is difficult to predict in a general and efficient way. Here, we introduce a way to compute arbitrarily high order transport coefficients of stochastic systems, using the framework of large deviation theory.

Why and how to use patient-oriented research to promote translational research.

As we discussed in our first editorial in the December 2018 issue (Polaha & Sunderji, 2018), an emerging science of knowledge translation (also known as implementation and dissemination science) aims to bridge the disconnect between evidence and practice. Researchers are increasingly engaging with knowledge users and other stakeholders as a key strategy to promote uptake. This may include policymakers, payers, and-the focus of this editorial-patients.
