A role for affectivity in rapid facial mimicry: An electromyographic study
(Social Neuroscience, 2019)Emotional expressions evoke rapid facial reactions in the perceiver that are consistent with the valence of the observed expression. We aimed to investigate whether this robust facial reaction is purely a motor matching ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Early patterns of functional brain development associated with autism spectrum disorder in tuberous sclerosis complex
(Autism Research, 2019)Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder that confers a high risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), with behavioral predictors of ASD emerging early in life. Deviations in structural and functional ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Empathy for others’ pain is disrupted at the neurophysiological level in schizophrenia
(British Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2019)Objective: Previous research has shown that empathy for pain is disrupted at the neural level in people with schizophrenia. However, many of these studies have failed to assess key background contextual variables that ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Intact spontaneous emotional expressivity to non-facial but not facial stimuli in schizophrenia: An electromyographic study
(Schizophrenia Research, 2019)Emotional stimuli, such as facial expressions, reliably evoke rapid, spontaneous and covert facial reactions in the perceiver that reflect the affective valence of the observed stimulus. These physiological reactions have ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The Brain Basis of Comorbidity in Neurodevelopmental Disorders
(Current Developmental Disorders Reports, 2019)Purpose of Review: Research examining brain development in neurodevelopmental disorders has largely comprised small-scale studies on individual disorders. Findings have confirmed neurodevelopmental disruption and deviation; ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Maternal pre-pregnancy weight and autistic-like traits among offspring in the general population
(Autism Research, 2019)There is an emerging body of evidence demonstrating that maternal obesity at the time of conception increases the risk for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) among offspring. We explored whether pre‐pregnancy weight was related ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Very Early Identification and Intervention for Infants at Risk of Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Transdiagnostic Approach
(Child Development Perspectives, 2019)Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) begin in the earliest months of life, but the clinical manifestations of many such disorders—including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, attention‐deficit hyperactivity ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Tubular vanadium membranes for hydrogen purification
(Journal of Membrane Science, 2018)It is widely accepted that vanadium is unsuitable as a membrane material due to an extreme susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement. Consequently, the focus of R&D effort towards hydrogen-selective, vanadium-based metal ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
High-Purity H-2 Produced from NH3 via a Ruthenium-Based Decomposition Catalyst and Vanadium-Based Membrane
(Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2018)Ammonia is a prospective hydrogen transport intermediate due to its high volumetric and gravimetric H2 densities, and existing production and distribution infrastructure. However, its ultimate use in mobile proton exchange ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Impaired muscle growth precedes development of increased stiffness of the triceps surae musculotendinous unit in children with cerebral palsy
(Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2018)Aim: If increased muscle stiffness and contractures in children with cerebral palsy (CP) are related to impaired muscle growth, reduced muscle growth should precede or coincide with increased muscle stiffness during ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Functional Capacity in Adults With Cerebral Palsy: Lower Limb Muscle Strength Matters
(Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2018)Objective: To investigate the relation between lower limb muscle strength, passive muscle properties, and functional capacity outcomes in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Tertiary ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Physical activity in Vietnam: Estimates and measurement issues
(PLoS One, 2015)Introduction: Our aims were to provide the first national estimates of physical activity (PA) for Vietnam, and to investigate issues affecting their accuracy. Methods: Measurements were made using the Global Physical ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Response and Resistance to Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Is Linked to the Redox-Active Molecule Phenazine
(PLoS One, 2015)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen displaying high antibiotic resistance. Its resistance is in part due to its outstanding ability to form biofilms on a range of biotic and abiotic surfaces leading ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Functional Anaerobic and Strength Training in Young Adults with Cerebral Palsy
(Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2018)Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a 12-wk combined functional anaerobic and strength training program on neuromuscular properties and functional capacity in young adults with spastic-type cerebral ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Sustainable Agriculture: From Sweet Sorghum Planting and Ensiling to Ruminant Feeding
(Molecular Plant, 2019)A large proportion of food is composed of crops and meat besides vegetables and fruits. The production of crops and meat needs a large area of land and other resources, such as water, chemical fertilizer, and pesticides. ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
From Paris to Poland
(The International Journal of Social Quality, 2018)This article tracks the intergovernmental negotiations aimed at combatting human-induced greenhouse gas emissions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change from COP21 and the creation of the Paris ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Frequency of Respiratory Nursing Diagnoses and Accuracy of Clinical Indicators in Preterm Infants
(International Journal of Nursing Knowledge, 2019)PURPOSE: To identify the frequency of the nursing diagnoses, ineffective breathing pattern, impaired gas exchange and impaired spontaneous ventilation in newborns; and, to analyze the accuracy of diagnostic indicators ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Attention narrowing followed by broadening enhances threat reactivity and generalisation during extinction but reduces physiological arousal at retest: A preliminary examination
(Learning and Motivation, 2019)Anxiety disorders are common and impairing, however, approximately 40% of affected individuals do not respond in the short or long term to gold-standard, exposure-based treatments. The current preliminary study examined ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Free-free experiments: the search for dressed atom effects
(Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2018)Experiments on free–free electron scattering, specifically the absorption or emission of 1.17 eV photons from a Nd:YAG laser field by an unbound electron when it is scattered by an atom or molecule, are reviewed. For large ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Modelling urban water management transitions: A case of rainwater harvesting
(Environmental Modelling & Software, 2018)A promising way to address the growing demand for water supply and improve the liveability of cities is to invest in decentralised multifunctional urban water technologies. However, the adoption of multifunctional water ...JOURNAL ARTICLE
