The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Birth Defects Study suggests that environmental exposures including maternal thyroid diseases, maternal nicotine use, and use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may exacerbate incidence and or severity Safety of craniofacial abnormalities including craniosynostosis.Premature f
Nanopore Formation in CeO2 Single Crystal by Ion Irradiation: A Molecular Dynamics Study
The nanopore formation process that occurs by supplying a thermal spike to single crystal CeO2 has been simulated using a molecular dynamics method.As the initial condition, high thermal energy was supplied to the atoms in a nano-cylinder placed at the center of a fluorite structure.A nanopore was generated abruptly at around 0.3 ps after the irrad
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met polymorphism modulates the effects of circadian desynchronization on activity and sleep in male mice
IntroductionUnderstanding how environmental interact challenges with genetic predispositions modulate health and wellbeing is an important area of biomedical research.Circadian rhythms play an important role in coordinating the multitude of cellular and tissue processes that organisms use to predict and adapt to regular changes in the environment,
Unsupervised discovery of family specific vocal usage in the Mongolian gerbil
In nature, animal vocalizations can provide crucial information about identity, including kinship and hierarchy.However, lab-based vocal behavior is typically studied during brief interactions between animals with no prior social relationship, and under environmental conditions with limited ethological relevance.Here, we address this gap by establi
A comparative study of the characteristics of hate speech propagators and their behaviours over Twitter social media platform
The internet and social media have facilitated diverse communication genres, enabling widespread and rapid opinions-sharing.However, hate speech imposes a contemporary challenge on individuals and communities, given the user anonymity, freedom, and inadequate regulation.Therefore, it is imperative to identify the perpetrators responsible for spread
