Effect of Electrolyte Concentration and Pore Size on Ion Current Rectification Inversion.

A thorough understanding of nanoscale transport properties is vital for the development and optimization of nanopore sensors. The thickness of the electrical double layers (EDLs) at the internal walls of a nanopore, as well as the dimensions of the nanopore itself, plays a crucial role in determining transport properties. Herein, we demonstrate the effect of the electrolyte concentration, which is inversely proportional to the EDL thickness, and the effect of pore size, which controls the extent of the electrical double layer overlap, on the ion current rectification phenomenon observed for conical nanopores.

Application of the Multi-Process Action Control Model to Predict Physical Activity During Late Adolescence.

The aim of this study was to apply the Multi-Process Action Control model to examine how the additions of regulatory and reflexive processes predict physical activity (PA) behaviors among adolescents. Our sample included 1,176 Grade 11 students (Mage = 15.85 ± 0.

Acute Effects of an Afterschool Running and Reading Program on Executive Functioning in Children: An Exploratory Study.

Emerging research within school settings suggests acute forms of physical activity and exercise lead to improvements in executive functioning among children. However, research pertaining to these effects within the afterschool setting remains limited. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of a community-based afterschool running and reading program on executive functioning in 8 to 12-year-old children.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Breathlessness Across Canada: A National Retrospective Cohort Study in Home Care and Nursing Home Populations.

Context: Breathlessness is a symptom associated with poor clinical outcomes and prognosis. Little is known about its long-term trends and associations with social factors including decline in social activities and caregiver distress.

Objectives: To describe factors associated with the prevalence of clinician-reported breathlessness across Canada among cohorts receiving home care or nursing home care.

External validation demonstrated the Ottawa SAH prediction models can identify pSAH using health administrative data.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to externally validate three primary subarachnoid hemorrhage (pSAH) identification models.

Study Design And Setting: We evaluated three models that identify pSAH using recursive partitioning (A), logistic regression (B), and a prevalence-adjusted logistic regression(C), respectively. Blinded chart review and/or linkage to existing registries determined pSAH status.

Methods and design for the ADAPT study: Application of integrateD Approaches to understanding Physical activity during the Transition to emerging adulthood.

Background: The overarching objective of the study is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the salient factors predicting changes in physical activity (PA) during adolescents' transition into emerging adulthood. Using the Multi-Process Action Control model as our guiding framework, we will examine how implicit and explicit psychological processes along with regulatory practices impact PA change during this major life transition. Additionally, we will use a real-time data capture method called Ecological Momentary Assessment to further investigate how environmental and contextual factors, and momentary psychosocial influences effect PA patterns across this dynamic life stage.
