How LGBTQ+ Young Adults Navigate Personal Risk in App-Based Hookups: The Safety Spectrum Theory.

Research on hooking up is rife with examinations of risky sexual health practices among LGBTQ+ young adults; yet, little has been written about the personal safety practices for this population. This omission is notable because safety practices can enhance the notable positive outcomes related to hooking up. Drawing on one-on-one interviews with 50 LGBTQ+ young adults (20 cismen, 20 ciswomen, two transmen, and eight others) in British Columbia, California, and Connecticut, we developed the safety spectrum theory, which used a spectral measurement to assess how LGBTQ+ young adults negotiate safety practices and implement safety rules.

Aphasia improvement without logotherapy during motor neurorehabilitation of post-stroke hemiparesis using virtual reality or modified constraint-induced movement therapy: A retrospective cohort.

Background: Some research suggests that post-stroke aphasia can recover "on its own", however, there is evidence of a common neural substrate for motor and language systems. We hypothesize, that motor neurorehabilitation of hemiparesis could be related to simultaneous improvement in aphasia.

Objective: To measure changes in post-stroke aphasia and its relation with hemiparesis treated with different therapies.

Policies during COVID-19 and their impact on immigrant families' psychological well-being: A critically engaged practice.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated, and complicated stressors related to immigrant families' experience with U.S. immigration policies.

Developing an Academic-Community Partnership to Promote Soccer-Based Physical Activity Among Latino Youth.

Background: The Latino Health for All (LHFA) Coalition used a community-based participatory approach to develop an action plan for addressing chronic disease among Latinos in Kansas City.

Objectives: This study examines the development and implementation of community-based soccer sessions for youth (ages 6-15) by an academic partner from the coalition and a community partner from a nonprofit youth soccer organization.

Methods: The academic and community partners spoke four times over 3 months to plan for these soccer sessions.

Thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes and graphene in epoxy nanofluids and nanocomposites.

We employed an easy and direct method to measure the thermal conductivity of epoxy in the liquid (nanofluid) and solid (nanocomposite) states using both rodlike and platelet-like carbon-based nanostructures. Comparing the experimental results with the theoretical model, an anomalous enhancement was obtained with multiwall carbon nanotubes, probably due to their layered structure and lowest surface resistance. Puzzling results for functionalized graphene sheet nanocomposites suggest that phonon coupling of the vibrational modes of the graphene and of the polymeric matrix plays a dominant role on the thermal conductivities of the liquid and solid states.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in the presence of coronary aneurysms.

This is the case of a patient with coronary aneurysms, who underwent CABG for surgical exclusion of these aneurysms, followed by implant of the bypass grafts to the arteries affected, with satisfactory short-term and long-term results.

Intermittent annular reduction with Alfieri's repair in the treatment of mitral insufficiency in children: initial results.

Objective: Mitral valve insufficiency must be treated by repair whenever as possible as it provides better results - especially within the pediatric population in order to avoid valve replacement inconvenients. The aim of this study is to describe mitral valve repair technique based on an anatomical and functional approach.

Methods: During a 13 months period, eight children (age ranged from 2 and 12 years old 6.

Transverse-velocity fluctuations in a liquid under steady shear.

We present an analysis of the transverse-velocity fluctuations in an isothermal liquid layer with a uniform shear rate between two parallel horizontal boundaries as a function of the wave number and the Reynolds number. The results were obtained by solving a stochastic version of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation subject to no-slip boundary conditions in a second-order Galerkin approximation. We find that the spatial Fourier transform of the transverse-velocity fluctuations exhibits a maximum as a function of the (horizontal) wave number q(parallels).

Low-frequency velocity correlation spectrum of fluid in a rectangular microcapillary.

In addition to the fast correlation for local stochastic motion, the velocity correlation function in a fluid enclosed within the pore boundaries features a slow long time-tail decay. At late times, the flow approaches that of an incompressible fluid. Here, we consider the motion of a viscous fluid, at constant temperature, in a rectangular semipermeable channel.
