Preliminary Evidence That Design Fluency Is Related to Dual-Task Treadmill Gait Variability in Healthy Adults.

Evidence supporting a link between gait and cognition is accumulating. However, the relation between executive functioning and spatiotemporal gait parameters has received little attention. This is surprising since these gait variables are related to falls.

Limited but specific engagement of the mature language network during linguistic statistical learning.

Statistical learning (SL) is the ability to detect and learn regularities from input and is foundational to language acquisition. Despite the dominant role of SL as a theoretical construct for language development, there is a lack of direct evidence supporting the shared neural substrates underlying language processing and SL. It is also not clear whether the similarities, if any, are related to linguistic processing, or statistical regularities in general.

An Interoception- Based Intervention for Improving Emotional Regulation in Children in a Special Education Classroom: Feasibility Study.

Interoception supports the ability to notice, interpret, and react to internal sensations and impacts emotional regulation and participation in meaningful activities. This study aimed to expand evidence regarding the efficacy of a 7-week intervention based on The in improving interoception and emotional regulation. We purposefully sampled middle-school participants ( = 9) with several diagnoses from a special education classroom.

Triplex-forming peptide nucleic acids as emerging ligands to modulate structure and function of complex RNAs.

Over the last three decades, our view of RNA has changed from a simple intermediate supporting protein synthesis to a major regulator of biological processes. In the expanding area of RNA research, peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is emerging as a promising ligand for triple-helical recognition of complex RNAs. As discussed in this feature article, the key advantages of PNAs are high sequence specificity and affinity for RNA (>10 fold higher than for DNA) that are difficult to achieve with small molecule ligands.

The naturalness bias in sport.

We examined the naturalness bias - the tendency to prefer people who seem to come by their talent naturally and not through work or effort - on ratings of athletic ability. Football (soccer) coaches, athletes, fans, and non-fans (n = 430) read about an athlete described as either being a natural or a striver. After watching a video of the athlete going through drills, participants rated the athlete on likelihood of success, athletic skill, mental strength, and physiological ability.

Improved Triplex-Forming Isoorotamide PNA Nucleobases for A-U Recognition of RNA Duplexes.

Four new isoorotamide (Io)-containing PNA nucleobases have been designed for A-U recognition of double helical RNA. New PNA monomers were prepared efficiently and incorporated into PNA nonamers for binding A-U in a PNA:RNA triplex. Isothermal titration calorimetry and UV thermal melting experiments revealed slightly improved binding affinity for singly modified PNA compared to known A-binding nucleobases.

A Call to Action for Improving LGBTQIA2S+ Inclusive Policies and Practices in Educating Science and Medical Professionals.

Based on 's novel sex and gender guidelines, we share a call to action to enact policy changes in medical and scientific education. We conducted a literature search of current policies and practices affecting sex and gender minorities. Our work indicated a scarcity of guidelines and curricula dedicated to standardizing LGBTQIA2S+ topics.

Emotional Eating in College Students: Associations with Coping and Healthy Eating Motivators and Barriers.

Background: Emotional eating, or eating in response to stress and other negative affective states, bears negative consequences including excessive weight gain and heightened risk of binge eating disorder. Responding to stress with emotional eating is not universal, and it is important to elucidate under what circumstances and by what mechanisms stress is associated with emotional eating. This is particularly important to understand among college students, who are at risk of experiencing heightened stress and negative changes to dietary habits.

A portable, programmable, multichannel stimulator with high compliance voltage for noninvasive neural stimulation of motor and sensory nerves in humans.

Most neural stimulators do not have a high enough compliance voltage to pass current through the skin. The few stimulators that meet the high compliance voltage necessary for transcutaneous stimulation are typically large benchtop units that are not portable, and the stimulation waveforms cannot be readily customized. To address this, we present the design and validation of a portable, programmable, multichannel, noninvasive neural stimulator that can generate three custom bipolar waveforms at ± 150 V with microsecond temporal resolution.

Men's Lived Experiences of Breast Cancer and Changes in Occupation.

Introduction: Male breast cancer is rare and frequently diagnosed at later stages of disease with low survival rates. There is a lack of knowledge of how breast cancer impacts men's occupations.

Objectives: This study is aimed at understanding the lived experiences of men with breast cancer and their changes in occupation.

Momentary fluctuations in emotional intelligence and stress predict changes in disordered eating.

Low emotional intelligence and symptoms of disordered eating are connected, however, whether daily fluctuations in emotional intelligence predict daily changes in disordered eating symptoms has not been examined, nor has stress been explored as a potential moderator of this relationship. Participants were undergraduate students ( = 100). Participants completed baseline questionnaires, then responded to random ecological momentary assessment prompts 3 times daily for 2 weeks.

When lightning strikes twice: Perceptions of oncology social workers about working with families with two members in treatment.

Objective: Families with a parent and child concurrently receiving cancer treatment are not common, but their needs are typically more complex than families with only one member in treatment. They have a heightened sense of loss, vulnerability, and mortality. The study purpose was to: (1) describe quality of life, social support, resiliency, and loss for these families; and (2) describe how healthcare teams can support these families.

Effect of nitrous oxide (NO) on the structure and function of nitrogen-oxide reducing microbial communities.

Nitrous oxide (NO) is a potent greenhouse gas that can be produced by nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. Yet the effects of NO on microbial communities is not well understood. We used batch tests to explore the effects of NO on mixed denitrifying communities.

The Spine Lab: A Short-Duration, Fully-Remote Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience.

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are increasingly common approaches to provide students with authentic laboratory experiences. Typically, CUREs are semester-long, in-person experiences that can be financially and time prohibitive for some institutions, faculty, and students. Here, we developed a short-duration, fully-online CURE, the Spine Lab, to provide an opportunity for students to conduct original research.

Impact of an Interoception-Based Program on Emotion Regulation in Autistic Children.

Method: One-group pre- and posttest design implementing in a self-contained school. Participants were 14 (11 male, 3 female) students between 9 and 19 years old.

No Preferred Reference Frame at the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics.

Quantum information theorists have created axiomatic reconstructions of quantum mechanics (QM) that are very successful at identifying precisely what distinguishes quantum probability theory from classical and more general probability theories in terms of information-theoretic principles. Herein, we show how one such principle, Information Invariance and Continuity, at the foundation of those axiomatic reconstructions, maps to "no preferred reference frame" (NPRF, aka "the relativity principle") as it pertains to the invariant measurement of Planck's constant for Stern-Gerlach (SG) spin measurements. This is in exact analogy to the relativity principle as it pertains to the invariant measurement of the speed of light at the foundation of special relativity (SR).

Characterization and utility of immobilized metal affinity-functionalized cellulose membranes for point-of-care malaria diagnostics.

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) is a well-established technique for protein separation and purification. IMAC has been previously utilized to capture the malaria biomarker histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2) from blood, enhancing the sensitivity of field-appropriate diagnostic tools such as lateral flow assays. However, little work has been done to translate this technique to a truly field-usable design.

The Primarily Undergraduate Nanomaterials Cooperative: A New Model for Supporting Collaborative Research at Small Institutions on a National Scale.

The Primarily Undergraduate Nanomaterials Cooperative (PUNC) is an organization for research-active faculty studying nanomaterials at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), where undergraduate teaching and research go hand-in-hand. In this perspective, we outline the differences in maintaining an active research group at a PUI compared to an R1 institution. We also discuss the work of PUNC, which focuses on community building, instrument sharing, and facilitating new collaborations.

[(1,2,5,6-η)-Cyclo-octa-1,5-diene](1-ethyl-3-isopropyl-1,3-imidazol-2-yl-idene)(tri-phenyl-phosphane)rhodium(I) tetra-fluorido-borate.

A new -heterocyclic cationic rhodium(I) complex with a tetra-fluorido-borate counter-anion, [Rh(CHN)(CH)(CHP)]BF, has been prepared and structurally characterized. The cationic complex exhibits a distorted square-planar environment around the rhodium(I) ion. Two connections are made from rhodium(I) to the carbon atom of an -heterocylic carbene ligand and to the phospho-rus atom of a tri-phenyl-phosphane ligand.
