Both AJ, Benjamin L, Franklin J, Holroyd G, Incoll LD, Lefsrud MG, Pitkin G.
PMID: 26366189
Plant Methods. 2015 Sep 11;11:43. doi: 10.1186/s13007-015-0083-5. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: The importance of appropriate, accurate measurement and reporting of environmental parameters in plant sciences is a significant aspect of quality assurance for all researchers and their research. There is a clear need for ensuring research across the world...

Persistency of Cannabis Use Predicts Violence following Acute Psychiatric Discharge.

Frontiers in psychiatry

Dugré JR, Dellazizzo L, Giguère CÉ, Potvin S, Dumais A.
PMID: 28983261
Front Psychiatry. 2017 Sep 21;8:176. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2017.00176. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: Violence is a major concern and is prevalent across several mental disorders. The use of substances has been associated with an exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms as well as with violence. Compared to other substances such as alcohol and...

Stranski-Krastanov and Volmer-Weber CVD Growth Regimes To Control the Stacking Order in Bilayer Graphene.

Nano letters

Ta HQ, Perello DJ, Duong DL, Han GH, Gorantla S, Nguyen VL, Bachmatiuk A, Rotkin SV, Lee YH, Rümmeli MH.
PMID: 27683947
Nano Lett. 2016 Oct 12;16(10):6403-6410. doi: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.6b02826. Epub 2016 Oct 03.

Aside from unusual properties of monolayer graphene, bilayer has been shown to have even more interesting physics, in particular allowing bandgap opening with dual gating for proper interlayer symmetry. Such properties, promising for device applications, ignited significant interest in...

Emotionally Neutral Stimuli Are Not Neutral in Schizophrenia: A Mini Review of Functional Neuroimaging Studies.

Frontiers in psychiatry

Potvin S, Tikàsz A, Mendrek A.
PMID: 27445871
Front Psychiatry. 2016 Jun 22;7:115. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2016.00115. eCollection 2016.

Reliable evidence shows that schizophrenia patients tend to experience negative emotions when presented with emotionally neutral stimuli. Similarly, several functional neuroimaging studies show that schizophrenia patients have increased activations in response to neutral material. However, results are heterogeneous. Here,...

Anterior cingulate hyperactivations during negative emotion processing among men with schizophrenia and a history of violent behavior.

Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment

Tikàsz A, Potvin S, Lungu O, Joyal CC, Hodgins S, Mendrek A, Dumais A.
PMID: 27366072
Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat. 2016 Jun 15;12:1397-410. doi: 10.2147/NDT.S107545. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests a 2.1-4.6 times increase in the risk of violent behavior in schizophrenia compared to the general population. Current theories propose that the processing of negative emotions is defective in violent individuals and that dysfunctions within the...

Some theoretical aspects of the turbulent point-spread function.

Journal of the Optical Society of America. A, Optics, image science, and vision

Potvin G, Forand JL, Dion D.
PMID: 17767265
J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis. 2007 Sep;24(9):2932-42. doi: 10.1364/josaa.24.002932.

In a previous work [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A24, 753 (2007)], we developed a theory describing the space-time statistics of the scintillation and displacement fields of the turbulent point-spread function (PSF), which we validated using imaging data. We now...

Detailed analytical approach to the Gaussian surface bidirectional reflectance distribution function specular component applied to the sea surface.

Journal of the Optical Society of America. A, Optics, image science, and vision

Ross V, Dion D, Potvin G.
PMID: 16302395
J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis. 2005 Nov;22(11):2442-53. doi: 10.1364/josaa.22.002442.

A statistical sea surface specular BRDF (bidirectional reflectance distribution function) model is developed that includes mutual shadowing by waves, wave facet hiding, and projection weighting. The integral form of the model is reduced to an analytical form by making...

Fast line-shape correction procedure for imaging Fourier-transform spectrometers.

Applied optics

Roy SA, Potvin S, Genest J, Desbiens R.
PMID: 17609714

An instrument line-shape correction method adapted to imaging Fourier-transform spectrometers is demonstrated. The method calibrates all pixels on the same spectral grid and permits a direct comparison of the spectral features between pixels such as emission or absorption lines....

Reducing the effect of integrating sphere speckle when characterizing the instrument line shape of a Fourier-transform hyperspectral imager.

The contribution of integrating sphere speckle pattern on the instrument line shape of a Fourier-transform hyperspectral imager is investigated. A new measurement technique that minimizes the speckle effect is presented. This technique consists of agitating the sphere while integrating...

Toxicity of Glucosinolates and Their Enzymatic Decomposition Products to Caenorhabditis elegans.

Journal of nematology

Donkin SG, Eiteman MA, Williams PL.
PMID: 19277288
J Nematol. 1995 Sep;27(3):258-62.

An aquatic 24-hour lethality test using Caenorhabditis elegans was used to assess toxicity of glucosinolates and their enzymatic breakdown products. In the absence of the enzyme thioglucosidase (myrosinase), allyl glucosinolate (sinigrin) was found to be nontoxic at all concentrations...
