Social Functioning Within the First Years After Pediatric Brain Tumor Diagnosis and the Relationship With Family Psychosocial Risk

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.

Eye opening differentially modulates inhibitory synaptic transmission in the developing visual cortex

eLife, 2017
Eye opening, a natural and timed event during animal development, influences cortical circuit assembly and maturation; yet, little is known about its precise effect on inhibitory synaptic connections.

Differential effects of stimulus strength and volitional control in bistable perception [PDF]

BMC Neuroscience, 2014
Bistable perception has been widely studied in the visual system where ambiguity in sensory information coming from, for example, binocular, depth or motion cues leads to spontaneous shifts in perception. Indeed, modeling of rivalrous dynamics induced by ambiguity in these visual sensory cues led to a generalized Levelt’s proposition II that describes ...

The effect of temperature on strength differential and material effort of steam turbine rotors [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020
The paper presents the results of mechanical tensile and compression tests performed at a range of temperatures on specimens made from 2%CrMoV steel. Variation of strength differential coefficent was found and considered in numerical analyses of material effort of a steam turbine rotor subject to thermomechanical loading.

The Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on Childhood Cancer Survival: A Population‐Based Assessment of Survival Patterns Between 2015 and 2023 in Germany

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Numerous international studies have reported declines in new cancer diagnoses, delayed diagnoses and disruptions in cancer treatment following the implementation of COVID‐19 pandemic public health measures, raising concerns that these effects may ultimately contribute to increased cancer mortality.

Language, Culture, and Cancer: Qualitative Insights Into Communication Disparities Among Spanish‐Speaking Caregivers of Children With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Latino children are projected to make up nearly one‐third of United States (US) children by 2060, and many of their caregivers speak Spanish. Prior survey research has documented communication difficulties for Spanish‐speaking caregivers of children with cancer, but contemporary qualitative data are limited.

Effect of bedding mortar with low strength and high entrained air content on the strain and failure mode of masonry prisms under compression [PDF]

REM: International Engineering Journal
Brazilian standards regarding structural masonry does not consider the effect of bedding mortar properties on the strength and failure mode of masonry. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bedding mortars with low strength and ...

Bone Mineral Density After Contemporary Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia: A Matched Cross‐Sectional Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) has been reported in survivors of childhood and young adult acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL); however, data from cohorts treated with contemporary protocols and including matched controls remain limited.

Analytical model to characterize temperature-dependent anisotropic-asymmetric behavior of Mg-Gd-Y alloy

Journal of Magnesium and Alloys
The work is conducted to uncover and simulate the dependence of the evolving anisotropic-asymmetric yield behavior on the temperature for an Mg-Gd-Y alloy. Experiments were carried out at 25∼300 °C, including uniaxial tension and compression.
