- Promoting openness to autism amongst student dental care professional Studentsby Caoimhin Mac Giolla Phadraig on May 17, 2022
CONCLUSION: An educational intervention delivered by a person with autism promoted modest increases in openness towards autism and confidence amongst dental care pre-service professionals. While the results suggest that peer-led dental care professional teaching by people with autism may be beneficial, more research is needed.
- The emergence of idiosyncratic patterns in the frequency-following response during the first year of lifeby Fernando Llanos on May 17, 2022
The frequency-following response (FFR) is a scalp-recorded signal that reflects phase-locked activity from neurons across the auditory system. In addition to capturing information about sounds, the FFR conveys biometric information, reflecting individual differences in auditory processing. To investigate the development of FFR biometric patterns, we trained a pattern recognition model to recognize infants (N = 16) from FFRs collected at 7 and 11 months. Model recognition scores were used to...
- Aberrant topological organization and age-related differences in the human connectome in subjective cognitive decline by using regional morphology from magnetic resonance imagingby Zhenrong Fu on May 17, 2022
Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is characterized by self-experienced deficits in cognitive capacity with normal performance in objective cognitive tests. Previous structural covariance studies showed specific insights into understanding the structural alterations of the brain in neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, in subjects with neurodegenerative diseases, accelerated brain degeneration with aging was shown. However, the age-related variations in coordinated topological patterns of...
- Enhancing the Vortex Whistle for Measures of Respiratory Capacity via CFD and CAAby Ang Li on May 17, 2022
A vortex whistle produces a fundamental frequency proportional to the inlet flow rate. Recent investigations using vortex whistles have focused on the use of this relationship to quantify aspects of respiratory function. Despite promising results, there is a lack of understanding of the physical mechanisms underlying vortex whistle function. This paper begins with a principled study of the aero-acoustic properties of the vortex whistle. First a high-fidelity computation fluid dynamics (CFD)...
