Experienced cannabis users demonstrate tolerance to some of the impairing acute effects cannabis.The present study investigates whether event-related potentials (ERPs) differ between occasional and heavy after Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) administration, as a result tolerance.Twelve 12 participated in double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. On two separate days, they smoked joint containing 0 or 500 μg/kg body weight THC. ERPs were measured while subjects performed divided...
Background Impairments in working memory are present many psychiatric illnesses such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia. The dopamine transporter catechol- O -methyltransferase (COMT) proteins involved clearance the system is implicated modulation of (WM) processes neurochemical models diseases. effects functional polymorphisms gene ( DAT1 ) COMT were investigated using a visuospatial numerical n-back paradigm. Our task was designed to reflect WM alone, made...
The accurate estimation of lithium-ion cell internal temperature is crucial for the safe operation battery packs, especially during high discharge rates, as operating outside range can lead to accelerated degradation or catastrophic failures. Heat generation in cells arises primarily from ohmic losses and entropy change (ΔS), yet latter remains frequently overlooked modelling. However, impact considering discarding ΔS electro-thermal modelling subject debate. This research highlights...
Objective Psychotic symptoms are common in the population and index risk for a range of severe psychopathological outcomes. We wished to investigate functional connectivity community sample adolescents who reported psychotic (the extended psychosis phenotype). Method This study investigated intrinsic (i FC ) during resting‐state magnetic resonance imaging (f MRI ; rs‐f ). Following screening schools, 11 non‐treatment seeking, youth with (aged 11–13) 14 controls participated study. Seed...
Microstructured antireflective coatings (ARCs) have been identified as a promising solution to reduce optical losses in concentrator photovoltaics' (CPV) modules. We fabricated and tested field CPV module made of four monomodules with concentration factor 250× that embed either solar cells microstructured encapsulating ARC or multilayer reference. The was semiburied silica beads polydimethylsiloxane. operation for one year the severe climatic conditions Sherbrooke, QC, Canada, before...
Deficits in working memory are widely reported schizophrenia and considered a trait marker for the disorder. Event-related potentials (ERPs) imaging data suggest that these differences performance may be due to aberrant functioning prefrontal parietal cortices. Research suggests many of same risk factors shared with individuals from general population who report psychotic symptoms.Forty-two participants (age range 11-13 years) were divided into those symptoms (N = 17) no symptoms, i.e....
Micro-structured anti reflective coatings (ARC) have been identified as a promising solution to reduce optical losses in Concentrator Photovoltaics modules (CPV). We fabricated and tested field CPV made of 4 sub-modules with concentration factor 250x, that embed either solar cells micro-structured encapsulating ARC or multilayer reference. The was semi-buried silica beads polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). module operation for 1 year the severe climatic conditions Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada,...
Multi-source electrical systems rely on performing energy management to have a minimal operational cost while satisfying the demand. In this paper, an existing hybrid nano-grid composed of PV panels, diesel generator, and batteries is used for investigation purpose. The behavior actual system studied through its equivalent model developed in MATLAB/Simulink®. Recently, we noticed space improvement control settings multi-source system. To further confirm impact these input set points usage...
Transportation is a high greenhouse gases emission sector that needs to be decarbonised reduce its impact on the environment.Electric and hybrid vehicles are solution emission.To increase autonomy of these vehicles, there growing interest for development efficient electric powered by photovoltaic (PV) panels.Depending their route, subject continuous environmental variations.Therefore, any predictive model take into account vehicle itinerary.Different studies have been carried out analyze...
