We are researching how social exclusion among African American college students in the form of racism and discrimination influence depressive symptoms.

Marijuana use is often started in college and with the expansion of legalization more college students may have access to it in the future so it is important to understand how this might affect a common mental health problem.

Revenge is associated with reward and positive affect (Chester, 2017), but the details of how these feelings unfold over time are unclear. More specifically, it is unclear if people experience positive affect prior to revenge, during revenge, and/or after revenge. Further, it is unknown the extent to which these various experiences of revenge-related affect differ among people with antagonistic personality traits (e.g., psychopathy, sadism, machiavellianism, narcissism).

Considerable research (e.g., Brown, 2015; Quaglia et al., 2016) shows that mindfulness, a receptive attention to present events and experiences (Analayo, 2003; Brown & Ryan, 2003), is phenotypically correlated to subjective well-being (SWB), commonly regarded as higher life satisfaction along with a preponderence of positive over negative affect (Diener, 1984; 2000). Unknown is why the relation between these two dispositions exists. Intrapsychic phenomena have been invoked to explain their relation (e.g., Brown et al., 2007;...

Personality plays an important role in mental health and well-being (1). More specifically, from the literature is known that personality is a risk factor for the development of major depression (1). A model that is often used to define personality the Five Factor Model (FFM), consisting of the traits: neuroticism, extraversion, conscientiousness, openness and agreeableness (2). From these five personality traits, neuroticism, extraversion and conscientiousness are most often related to the development of major depression...

The goal of this project is to elucidate the patterns, predictors, and processes of recovery from SUDs. In the proposed study, we will use a family-based, genetically informed dataset of adults that was enriched for risk of AUD, the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) Prospective Study (N = 3,129). Based on the recent emphasis on understanding functioning and wellbeing among individuals beyond their remission status, we will characterize and predict patterns of...

The pandemic has caused many to be under tremendous amounts of stress, especially racial minorities due to having more financial, family, and health issues. With so much worry around the country the state of people’s mental health could be thought to decline as a result. The state of an individual's mental health is also in direct correlation to their chances of becoming depressed.

Humans are largely social beings with a fundamental need to belong. Social exclusion (i.e., ostracism) threatens our social connection with others, causing adverse emotional consequences on excluded individuals’ emotional states. Individuals could also be sensitive to the suffering of others, and some studies have found that people have similar negative effects after witnessing the exclusion of others. The present study will investigate parasympathetic (Heart Rate Variability) and sympathetic (Skin Conductance Level) activity, as well as...

Abstract Background L-tryptophan (Trp) metabolism involved in mediating tumour development and immune suppression. However, comprehensive analysis of the role of the Trp metabolism pathway is still a challenge. Methods We downloaded Trp metabolism-related genes’ expression data from different public databases, including TCGA, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Database (HCCDB). And we identified two metabolic phenotypes using the ConsensusClusterPlus package. Univariate regression analysis and lasso Cox regression analysis were used to establish a risk...

PHREEQC Pyrite oxidation and advacation of the SMG deposit

Abstract: Understanding the process and influencing factors of the oxidation of pyrite is beneficial for the management of environmental problems in mining areas. In this study, we investigated the morphology and geochemistry of the pyrite and related goethite from the weathering crust of the Shangmanggang (SMG) gold deposit, southwest China, via petrographic work, electron microprobe analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, and PHREEQC geochemical modelling. The weathering profile of the SMG is composed of the unweathered Carlin-type...

This paper experimentally investigates the provision of real-time feedback about school assignments during the preference reporting period in three widely employed mechanisms: deferred acceptance, top trading cycles, and the Boston mechanism. Adaptive models predict that greater sensitivity to tentative assignments during the reporting period will produce more equilibrium assignments in all three mechanisms. Consistent with adaptive predictions, real-time assignment feedback consistently increased equilibrium assignments but did not increase truthful reporting. These findings suggest that providing...
