In this article a multi-subject vector autoregressive (VAR) modeling approach was proposed for inference on effective connectivity based on resting-state functional MRI data. Their framework uses a Bayesian variable selection approach to allow for simultaneous inference on effective connectivity at both the subject- and group-level. Furthermore, it accounts for multi-modal data by integrating s...

Some nuclides emit multiple gamma rays or X-rays when they decay to the ground state. If these gamma rays and X-rays are emitted essentially at the same time, it is possible that multiple photons will be detected at the same time in the detector and appear as one full-energy peak in the spectrum. This is known as “Cascade” or “True Coincidence” summing. The most common example of this is Co, wh...

The impact of neighborhood walkability (based on street connectivity and traffic exposure) within 2 km of public primary schools on children regularly walking to school was examined. The most (n=13) and least walkable (n=12) schools were selected using a school-specific 'walkability' index and a cross sectional study undertaken of Year 5, 6 and 7 children (n=1480) and consenting parents (n=1332...

Subjective well-being (SWB) consists of life satisfaction, the presence of positive affect (PA), and the absence of negative affect (NA). This study examines the associations between perceived social support and SWB among Japanese, Chinese, and Korean college students. We hypothesized that perceived social support will be associated with life satisfaction directly and indirectly through PA and ...

We report the discovery of vertically aligned nano-scale diamond tips grown on the polycrystalline diamond substrates in a CH4/N2/H2 mixed plasma. The best diamond quality occurs at the top part of the nanotip, which is single crystalline diamond. The quality of the diamond nanotip is justified by the diamond characteristic peak at 1332 cm 1 in the Raman spectrum, the discrete electron diffract...

OBJECTIVE To examine perceived discrimination and substance use among Latino high school students. METHODS Latino 9(th) graders (N = 1332) completed self-report measures of perceived discrimination and substance use behavior. RESULTS Perceived discrimination was associated with lifetime use measures of smoking (OR = 1.73, P < 0.01), alcohol (OR = 1.53, P < 0.01), marijuana (OR = 1.70, P < 0...
