BackgroundImmersive virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence have been used to determine whether a simulated clinical exam setting can reduce anxiety in first-year occupational therapy students preparing for objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs).Test anxiety is common among postsecondary students, leading to negative outcomes s
Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems
IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation.In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated attractor regions, synchronizes with a weak input signal.Chaotic resonance exhibits higher sensitivity than Ton
Distribution and accumulation of heavy metals in Red Cedar (Cedrela odorata) wood seedling grown in dumpsite soil
: Recent technological advancements in industrialization and urbanization process have led to release of toxic contaminants like heavy metals in the environment.This study assessed the ability of Cedrela odorata to accumulate and distribute heavy metals such as Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd and Co in their roots and shoots planted in dumpsite soil by determining
