The relationship between sensory sensitivity, food fussiness and food preferences in children with neurodevelopmental disorders
(2020-07-01)
Heightened sensitivity to sensory information has been associated with food fussiness in both atypical and typical development. Despite food fussiness and sensory dysfunction being reported as common concerns for children ...
Electrospinning Alginate/Polyethylene Oxide and Curcumin Composite Nanofibers
(2020-07-01)
Manufacturing a sodium alginate (SA) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) composite loaded with curcumin (CU) was accomplished in this study by using electrospinning. These composite nanofibers were crosslinked using trifluoroacetic ...
General rational approximation of Gaussian wavelet series and continuous-time gm-C filter implementation
(2020-06-30)
A general method of rational approximation for Gaussian wavelet series and Gaussian wavelet filter circuit design with simple gm-C integrators is presented in this work. Firstly, the multi-order derivatives of Gaussian ...
Which conditions should be considered as disorders in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) designation of “other specified disorders due to addictive behaviors”?
(2020-06-30)
Background: Gambling and gaming disorders have been included as “disorders due to addictive behaviors” in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Other problematic behaviors may be considered as “other ...
Particle Swarm Optimization Trained Artificial Neural Network to Control Shunt Active Power Filter Based on Multilevel Flying Capacitor Inverter
(2020-06-30)
Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF) are an emerging power electronics-based technology to mitigate harmonic and improve power quality in distribution grids. The SAPF proposed in this paper is based on three-phase Flying ...
Proof of concept: could snake venoms be a potential source of bioactive compounds for control of mould growth and mycotoxin production
(2020-06-29)
The objective was to screen 10 snake venoms for their efficacy to control growth and mycotoxin production by important mycotoxigenic fungi including Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus westerdijkiae, Penicillium verrucosum, ...
A multiplanet system of super-Earths orbiting the brightest red dwarf star GJ 887
(2020-06-26)
The closet exoplanets to the Sun provide opportunities for detailed characterization of planets outside the Solar System. We report the discovery, using radial velocity measurements, of a compact multiplanet system of ...
Sparse Coding with a Somato-Dendritic Rule
(2020-06-26)
Cortical neurons are silent most of the time. This sparse activity is energy efficient, and the resulting neural code has favourable properties for associative learning. Most neural models of sparse coding use some form ...
COVID-19, A Global Health Concern Requiring Science-Based Solutions
(FutureEarth, 2020-06-26)
Scientifically-based concrete action points to reduce the spread, lessen the impact, reduce the concerns of the wider population, and avoid further outbreaks for governments, organizations, and individuals are needed
Experiments with Self-Organised Simulation of Movement of Infectious Aerosols in Buildings
(2020-06-25)
The ultimate aim of sustainability in buildings gained an additional new dimension as the start of the year 2020 saw a rapid worldwide spread of the infectious disease caused by a coronavirus named COVID-19. There is ...
