A Linear Technique to Understand Non-Normal Turbulence Applied to a Magnetized Plasma

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In nonlinear dynamical systems with highly nonorthogonal linear eigenvectors, linear non-modal analysis is more useful than normal mode analysis in predicting turbulent properties. However, the non-trivial time evolution of non-modal structures makes quantitative understanding and prediction difficult. We present a technique to overcome this difficulty by modeling the effect that the advective nonlinearities have on spatial turbulent structures. The nonlinearities are taken as a periodic randomizing force with time scale consistent with critical balance arguments. We apply this technique to a model of drift wave turbulence in the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) [W. Gekelman \emph{et al.}, Rev. Sci. Inst. {\bf 62}, 2875 (1991)], where non-modal effects dominate the turbulence. We compare the resulting growth rate spectra to that obtained from a nonlinear simulation, showing good qualitative agreement, especially in comparison to the eigenmode growth rate spectra.

description: To counteract oxidative stress, antioxidants including carotenoids are highly promising, yet their exploitation is drastically limited by the poor bioavailability and fast photodestruction, whereas current delivery systems are far from being efficient. Here we demonstrate that the recently discovered nanometer-sized water-soluble carotenoprotein from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (termed AnaCTDH) transiently interacts with liposomes to efficiently extract carotenoids via carotenoid-mediated homodimerization, yielding violet–purple protein samples. We characterize the spectroscopic properties of the obtained pigment–protein complexes and the thermodynamics of liposome–protein carotenoid transfer and demonstrate the delivery of carotenoid echinenone from AnaCTDH into liposomes with an efficiency of up to 70 ± 3%. Most importantly, we show efficient carotenoid delivery to membranes of mammalian cells, which provides protection from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Incubation of neuroblastoma cell line Tet21N in the presence of 1 μM AnaCTDH binding echinenone decreased antimycin A ROS production by 25% (p < 0.05). The described carotenoprotein may be considered as part of modular systems for the targeted antioxidant delivery.

description: After the success of affine quantization in proving through Monte Carlo analysis that the covariant euclidean scalar field theory, $φ^r_n$, where $r$ denotes the power of the interaction term and $n = s + 1$ with $s$ the spatial dimension and $1$ adds imaginary time, such that $r \geq 2n/(n-2)$ can be acceptably quantized and the resulting theory is nontrivial, unlike what happens using canonical quantization, we show here that the same has to be expected for $r>2$ and any $n$ even for the ultralocal field theory. In particular we consider the ultralocal $φ^4_2$ model and study its renormalized properties for both the scaled canonical quantization version and the scaled affine quantization version through path integral Monte Carlo.

description: Cet article analyse l’impact à court et à long terme de la qualité institutionnelle sur les flux entrants des IDE dans 31 pays africains à revenu intermédiaire au cours de la période 2002-2022 en utilisant la méthode ARDL avec PMG. Nous avons construit un indice synthétique de la qualité institutionnelle à l’aide de la méthode analyse en composante principale afin de reproduire au mieux la variance des six indicateurs de la gouvernance de kaufman-kray. Les résultats révèlent qu’à court terme, la qualité institutionnelle n’exerce aucun effet sur les entrées d’IDE, contrairement à l’environnement économique qui agit à la fois à court et long terme. En revanche, la qualité institutionnelle joue un rôle primordial dans l’attractivité des capitaux étrangers à long terme, plus que l’environnement économique. En effet, une augmentation d’un point de pourcentage de «la qualité institutionnelle» engendre une hausse de 1.068% des «flux d’IDE». Cependant, les résultats de l’effet individuel des six indicateurs de la gouvernance, il se révèle l’importance de ces indicateurs, avec un coefficient significatif et positif, sauf pour l’indicateur «capacité revendicative et d’expression», qui a un effet négatif.

description: HRAS rare alleles have been associated with the increased susceptibility to a variety of cancers. In the present study we examined the hypothesis that HRAS rare alleles are a risk factor for adult glioma in a population-based case-control study of adult glioma in six San Francisco Bay Area counties. We compared the prevalence of rare alleles in the variable number of tandem repeats region of HRAS in the germline DNA from 73 white adults who had gliomas with that of 65 controls. Overall, the prevalence of rare alleles in cases was not different from the prevalence of those in controls according to two definitions of rare alleles. We found that 25 of 73 (34%) of cases versus 25 of 65 (38%) of controls had at least one allele that was not 30, 46, 69, or 87 repeats; 4 of 73 (5%) of cases versus 6 of 65 (9%) of controls carried one or more alleles with 33, 39, 42, 53, 59, 63, 68, 105, or 114 repeats. The proportion of rare alleles was somewhat higher among subjects with anaplastic astrocytoma. Among women, cases were less likely than controls to have HRAS rare alleles, whereas among men, cases were slightly more likely to have HRAS rare alleles, but none of these results approach statistical significance. Our data do not suggest an excess of HRAS rare alleles among adult glioma cases.

description: Context. Stars that have evolved-off the Main Sequence are crucial in expanding the frontiers of knowledge on exoplanets toward higher stellar masses, and to constrain star-planet interaction mechanisms. These stars, however suffer from intrinsic activity that complicates the interpretation of precise radial velocity measurement and are often avoided in planet searches. We have, over the last 10 years, monitored about 1000 evolved stars for radial velocity variations in search for low-mass companions under the Penn State - Toruń Centre for Astronomy Planet Search with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. Selected prospective candidates that required higher RV precision meassurements have been followed with HARPS-N at the 3.6 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. Aims. To detect planetary systems around evolved stars, to be able to build sound statistics on the frequency and intrinsic nature of these systems, and to deliver in-depth studies of selected planetary systems with evidences of star-planet interaction processes. Methods. We have obtained for TYC 1422-614-1 69 epochs of precise radial velocity measurements collected over 3651 days with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope, and 17 epochs of ultra precise HARPS-N data collected over 408 days. We have complemented these RV data with photometric time-series from the All Sky Automatic Survey archive. Results. We report the discovery of a multiple planetary system around the evolved K2 giant star TYC 1422-614-1. The system orbiting the 1.15 M$_\odot$ star is composed of a planet with mass m$sin i$=2.5 M$_J$ in a 0.69 AU orbit, and a planet/brown dwarf with m$sin i$=10 M$_J$ in a 1.37 AU orbit. The multiple planetary system orbiting TYC 1422-614-1 is the first finding of the TAPAS project, a HARPS-N monitoring of evolved planetary systems identified with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope.

description: The ratio of mass and magnetic flux determines the relative importance of magnetic and gravitational forces in the evolution of molecular clouds and their cores. Its measurement is thus central in discriminating between different theories of core formation and evolution. Here we discuss the effect of chemical depletion on measurements of the mass-to-flux ratio using the same molecule (OH) both for Zeeman measurements of the magnetic field and the determination of the mass of the region. The uncertainties entering through the OH abundance in determining separately the magnetic field and the mass of a region have been recognized in the literature. It has been proposed however that, when comparing two regions of the same cloud, the abundance will in both cases be the same. We show that this assumption is invalid. We demonstrate that when comparing regions with different densities, the effect of OH depletion in measuring changes of the mass-to-flux ratio between different parts of the same cloud can even reverse the direction of the underlying trends (for example, the mass-to-flux ratio may appear to decrease as we move to higher density regions). The systematic errors enter primarily through the inadequate estimation of the mass of the region.

Space-efficient, fast and exact routing in time-dependent road networks

shortest paths

description: We study the problem of computing shortest paths in massive road networks with traffic predictions. Incorporating traffic predictions into routing allows, for example, to avoid commuter traffic congestions. Existing techniques follow a two-phase approach: In a preprocessing step, an index is built. The index depends on the road network and the traffic patterns but not on the path start and end. The latter are the input of the query phase, in which shortest paths are computed. All existing techniques have either large index size, slow query running times, or may compute suboptimal paths. In this work, we introduce CATCHUp (Customizable Approximated Time-dependent Contraction Hierarchies through Unpacking), the first algorithm that simultaneously achieves all three objectives. The core idea of CATCHUp is to store paths instead of travel times at shortcuts. Shortcut travel times are derived lazily from the stored paths. We perform an experimental study on a set of real world instances and compare our approach with state-of-the-art techniques. Our approach achieves the fastest preprocessing, competitive query running times and up to 30 times smaller indexes than competing approaches.
Discovering optimal fermion-qubit mappings through algorithmic enumeration

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Simulating fermionic systems on a quantum computer requires a high-performing mapping of fermionic states to qubits. A characteristic of an efficient mapping is its ability to translate local fermionic interactions into local qubit interactions, leading to easy-to-simulate qubit Hamiltonians. All fermion-qubit mappings must use a numbering scheme for the fermionic modes in order for translation to qubit operations. We make a distinction between the unordered labelling of fermions and the ordered labelling of the qubits. This separation shines light on a new way to design fermion-qubit mappings by making use of the enumeration scheme for the fermionic modes. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that this concept permits notions of fermion-qubit mappings that are optimal with regard to any cost function one might choose. Our main example is the minimisation of the average number of Pauli matrices in the Jordan-Wigner transformations of Hamiltonians for fermions interacting in square lattice arrangements. In choosing the best ordering of fermionic modes for the Jordan-Wigner transformation, and unlike other popular modifications, our prescription does not cost additional resources such as ancilla qubits. We demonstrate how Mitchison and Durbin's enumeration pattern minimises the average Pauli weight of Jordan-Wigner transformations of systems interacting in square lattices. This leads to qubit Hamiltonians consisting of terms with average Pauli weights 13.9% shorter than previously known. By adding only two ancilla qubits we introduce a new class of fermion-qubit mappings, and reduce the average Pauli weight of Hamiltonian terms by 37.9% compared to previous methods. For $n$-mode fermionic systems in cellular arrangements, we find enumeration patterns which result in $n^{1/4}$ improvement in average Pauli weight over naïve schemes.

Intersectional Inequality: An Analysis of Police Culture in a Western Canadian City
Creators: Yankey, Manzah-Kyentoh, Akuba
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Despite the plethora of research on police culture, few studies have examined police culture from an intersectional approach. To provide more intersectional research on police culture, I conducted 16 semi-structured interviews with women police officers from a police organization in Alberta to explore how they perceive and experience police culture. I find that women police officers witness and/or experience three types of workplace violence: physical violence; bullying, harassment, and intimidation; and lateral violence. Black women, Biracial (Indigenous/white) women, white women and LBGTQ2SIA+ white women report having to deescalate violent situations whenever police officers, predominantly men, commit acts of physical violence on members of the public. Black women, Biracial (Indigenous/white) women, white women and white LGBTQ2SIA+ women police officers reported experiencing various forms of bullying, harassment, and intimidation, including misogynoir, race, and gender-based harassment, sexual harassment, and homophobia. Women also report women partaking in lateral violence by competing and sabotaging other women to advance their career. I also found that anti-Indigenous racism, anti-Black racism, and xenophobia is major problem in police culture. Many examples of racism in police culture included police officers saying racist jokes on-duty and in the office; physically abusing, racially profiling, and harassing Indigenous peoples, including those experiencing homelessness; anti-Black racism in homicide investigations and officers shouting racist and xenophobic slurs at refugees. Although white women were more likely than women of colour to acknowledge systemic racism in policing, they often used colourblind interpretations to underestimate the existence of racism in police culture.

description: We study analytically and asymptotically as well as numerically ground states and dynamics of two-component spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) modeled by the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations (CGPEs). In fact, due to the appearance of the spin-orbit (SO) coupling in the two-component BEC with a Raman coupling, the ground state structures and dynamical properties become very rich and complicated. For the ground states, we establish the existence and non-existence results under different parameter regimes, and obtain their limiting behaviors and/or structures with different combinations of the SO and Raman coupling strengths. For the dynamics, we show that the motion of the center-of-mass is either non-periodic or with different frequency to the trapping frequency when the external trapping potential is taken as harmonic and the initial data is chosen as a stationary state (e.g. ground state) with a shift, which is completely different from the case of a two-component BEC without the SO coupling, and obtain the semiclassical limit of the CGPEs in the linear case via the Wigner transform method. Efficient and accurate numerical methods are proposed for computing the ground states and dynamics, especially for the case of box potentials. Numerical results are reported to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the numerical methods and show the rich phenomenon in the SO-coupled BECs.

description: Nel suo Discorso sulla poesia (1953), Salvatore Quasimodo scriveva: «Faremo un giorno una carta poetica del Sud; e non importa se toccherà la Magna Grecia ancora, il suo cielo sopra le immagini imperturbabili d’innocenza e di sensi accecanti. Là forse sta nascendo la permanenza della poesia». Il mio intervento prende spunto proprio da questa intuizione di Quasimodo per ripercorrere un periodo cruciale del Novecento letterario italiano, in cui si registra per la prima volta, fra gli autori meridionali, una nuova consapevolezza sia espressiva sia identitaria, che li porterà a rappresentare un vasto territorio fino a quel momento pressoché estromesso dalle cartografie poetiche ufficiali, introducendo, nel dibattito letterario, nuove istanze espressive.
description: In his Discorso sulla poesia (1953), Salvatore Quasimodo wrote: «One day we will make a poetic map of the South; and it doesn't matter if it will touch Magna Graecia again, her sky above the imperturbable images of innocence and blinding senses. Perhaps the permanence of poetry is being born there». This paper is inspired precisely by this intuition of Quasimodo to retrace a crucial period of the Italian literature of the twentieth century, in which for the first time, among southern authors, there was a new awareness of both expression and identity, which would lead them to represent a vast a territory that had until then been practically excluded from official poetic cartographies, introducing new expressive instances into the literary debate.
Examination of Subjective and Objective Cognitive Impairment Discrepancies in Sports-Related Concussion of Elite Athletes
Creators: Schultz, Hanna
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Assessments of sports-related concussion (SRC) include tests of athletes’ cognitive performance and self-reports of perceived cognitive impairment. Both anecdotal and empirical evidence have shown occurrences of discrepancies between athletes’ subjective and objective indicators of cognitive impairment (SCI and OCI), which can pose challenges to clinical decisions of SRC diagnosis, management, treatment, and return-to-play (RTP) clearances. This dissertation is an examination of the relationship between SCI and OCI, an assessment of change in SCI and OCI scores between baseline and post-SRC assessments, and an examination of factors that may be associated with cognitive impairment discrepancies demonstrated in SRC assessments. Forty Canadian elite (i.e., collegiate and professional) football players concussed during the 2017 or 2018 seasons completed baseline and post-SRC assessments of cognitive functioning through objective testing (SAC and ImPACT) and subjective self-reports (S3SE), as well as a measure of psychological distress (BSI-18). Results from the study demonstrated overall high consistency between SCI and OCI; however, only post-injury S3SE endorsements of memory difficulties and/or confusion and ImPACT verbal memory scores were significantly related. From the cases of cognitive impairment discrepancies, higher post-injury psychological distress scores predicted SCI detection, whereas prior concussion history decreased the likelihood of SCI detection. Additionally, SCI, prior concussion history, psychological distress, and other personal factors did not predict OCI. Altogether, these findings suggest affective factors may play a more significant role to athletes’ perceived postconcussive dysfunction than cognitive factors. This interpretation implies considerations of including more measures and targets of intervention focused on psychological distress to address and treat SRC outcomes.

description: The ionizing fluxes from quasars and other active galactic nuclei (AGN) are critical for interpreting their emission-line spectra and for photoionizing and heating the intergalactic medium (IGM). Using far-ultraviolet spectra from the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we directly measure the rest-frame ionizing continua and emission lines for 159 AGN at redshifts 0.001 < z_AGN < 1.476 and construct a composite spectrum from 475-1875A. We identify the underlying AGN continuum and strong EUV emission lines from ions of oxygen, neon, and nitrogen after masking out absorption lines from the HI Lya forest, 7 Lyman-limit systems (N_HI > 10^17.2 cm^-2) and 214 partial Lyman-limit systems (15.0 < log N_HI < 17.2). The 159 AGN exhibit a wide range of FUV/EUV spectral shapes, F_nu \propto nu^(alpha_nu), typically with -2 < alpha_nu < 0 and no discernible continuum edges at 912A (H I) or 504A (He I). The composite rest-frame continuum shows a gradual break at 1000 A, with mean spectral index alpha_nu = -0.83 +/- 0.09 in the FUV (1200-2000A) steepening to alpha_nu = -1.41 +/- 0.15 in the EUV (500-1000A). We discuss the implications of the UV flux turnovers and lack of continuum edges for the structure of accretion disks, AGN mass inflow rates, and luminosities relative to Eddington values.

description: We consider the kinematic stage of evolution of magnetic field advected by turbulent hydrodynamic flow. We use a generalization of the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model to investigate time irreversible flows. In the viscous range of scales, the infinite-time limit of the spectrum is a power law but its slope is more flat than that predicted by Kazantsev model. This result agrees with numerical simulations. The rate of magnetic energy growth is slower than that in the time-symmetric case. We show that for high magnetic Prandtl turbulent plasma, the formation of the power-law spectrum shape takes very long time and may never happen because of the nonlinearity. We propose another ansatz to describe the spectrum shape at finite time.

description: NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) mediate many forms of synaptic plasticity. These tetrameric receptors consist of two obligatory NR1 subunits and two regulatory subunits, usually a combination of NR2A and NR2B. In the neonatal neocortex NR2B-containing NMDARs predominate, and sensory experience facilitates a developmental switch in which NR2A levels increase relative to NR2B. In this review, we clarify the roles of NR2 subunits in synaptic plasticity, and argue that a primary role of this shift is to control the threshold, rather than determining the direction, for modifying synaptic strength. We also discuss recent studies that illuminate the mechanisms regulating NR2 subunits, and suggest that the NR2A/NR2B ratio is regulated by multiple means, which may control the ratio both locally at individual synapses and globally in a cell-wide manner. Finally, we use the visual cortex as a model system to illustrate how activity-dependent modifications in the NR2A/NR2B ratio may contribute to the development of cortical functions.

description: We consider a natural generalization of the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model for small-scale turbulent dynamo. This generalization takes account of statistical time asymmetry of a turbulent flow, and, thus, allows to describe velocity fields with energy cascade. For three-dimensional velocity field, generalized Kazantsev equation is derived, and evolution of the second order magnetic field correlator is investigated for large but finite magnetic Prandtl numbers. It is shown that as $Pr_m \to \infty$, the growth increment tends to the limit known from the T-exponential (Lagrangian deformation) method. Magnetic field generation is shown to be weaker than that in the Gaussian velocity field for any direction of the energy cascade, and depends essentially on the Prandtl number.

Canadian Arctic Marine Transportation Issues, Opportunities and Challenges

description: Melting sea ice Although ice will always be present in the Arctic in winter, global warming induces a steady decline of the extent of sea ice and a rapid decrease in the share of multi-year ice, giving way to younger, thinner sea ice and giving credit to modelled scenarios of ice-free summers during the 21st century. However, ice remains a hazard and an impediment to navigation. Thinner and more fragmented ice moves faster and in patterns that are difficult to predict. It also seems more prone to building compression ridges. Ice arches preventing hard multi-year ice of the Arctic Ocean basin from penetrating into the Canadian Archipelago are weakening. In Baffin Bay, accelerated iceberg calving from Greenland is likely to increase the number of growlers, which pose a serious risk for navigation. From this emerges a nuanced picture of shipping conditions in the Canadian Arctic. Expanding commercial shipping Shipping in the Canadian Arctic is mainly driven by fishing, mining activities and community resupply, while transit shipping remains marginal. Fishing, mostly carried out by vessels based in Newfoundland and still less developed than in Greenland, is gradually moving north to Baffin Bay. As extraction sites are opening up, mining generates heavy traffic, in terms of both voyages and tonnage. Inland mining sites, faced with complex and costly land transportation due to melting permafrost, may further drive marine transportation. However, fluctuating world prices for commodities, not the extent of sea ice, are the main driver – or constraint – of mining activities. Community resupply is expanding as well, but strategies pursued by the four shipping companies involved differ. MTS took over from bankrupt NTCL in 2016 with a more limited service. Coastal Shipping Ltd, Desgagnés and NEAS all expanded westwards and opted for larger, heavier vessels without, however, expanding frequency of service. Regulatory framework Canada’s regulatory framework on Arctic was overhauled in 2018 to incorporate the Polar Code and modernize the regime. As IMO negotiations are ongoing, new regulatory adjustments are foreseeable. Area-based protection efforts are underway, but shipping needs and rights are considered carefully. Overall, Canada’s shipping regulation is not seen as an unnecessary impediment, but as warranted by prevailing shipping conditions. Future Shipping Trends Due to the constraints to shipping, destinational traffic is likely to remain dominant in the foreseeable future. Traffic generated by mining activities is likely to keep expanding provided no severe collapse of world commodity prices occurs. Community resupply may also experience continued expansion, partly fueled by mining ventures, provided operators can take advantage of improved port facilities in the Canadian archipelago.

description: We present very accurate numerical estimates of the time and size dependence of the zero-temperature local persistence in the $2d$ ferromagnetic Ising model. We show that the effective exponent decays algebraically to an asymptotic value $θ$ that depends upon the initial condition. More precisely, we find that $θ$ takes one universal value $0.199(2)$ for initial conditions with short-range spatial correlations as in a paramagnetic state, and the value $0.033(1)$ for initial conditions with the long-range spatial correlations of the critical Ising state. We checked universality by working with a square and a triangular lattice, and by imposing free and periodic boundary conditions. We found that the effective exponent suffers from stronger finite size effects in the former case.

A Relational Ethics Approach to Understanding and Addressing Pain in Correctional Settings: An Interpretive Description
Creators: MacLennan, Duncan Stewart
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Background: The assessment and management of pain in forensic settings are complicated by contextual factors, including past experiences with pain, adverse childhood experiences, and mental illness and addiction. Nurses in correctional settings have few tools to rely upon to fully understand and respond to the pain that people who are incarcerated experience. Given the complexities of pain, nurses working in forensic environments require a nuanced and contextualized understanding of the pain experience to provide safe, effective, and ethical clinical interventions.

Purpose: The first purpose of this research was to understand the pain experiences of incarcerated men. The second purpose was to demonstrate how to co position relational ethics with interpretive description (ID).

Methods: The first research question guiding this study was: what is the experience of pain of men who are incarcerated? The second research question was: how can relational ethics be explicitly co positioned in ID research? To answer these question, relational ethics theory was co positioned alongside ID and guided the overall research design. Twelve male participants from a correctional facility in Alberta, Canada were interviewed. Transcripts of the interviews were analyzed to identify patterns and themes.

Findings: The findings of this study provide an understanding of how men experience pain during periods of incarceration and reveal how pain is experienced in relationship to being dependent on the correctional health and justice staff, institutional processes, peer relationships, one’s own knowledge of one’s body and pain etiology, and a toxic hypermasculine culture.

Conclusion: Nurses hold substantive power in the nurse-patient relationship which must be understood to ensure that effects of such power differentials are mitigated. Relational ethics provides a space to understand patients’ anger, frustration, repetitive requests for help, drug diversion, peer relationships, depression, helplessness, and sense of injustice as they exist as part of the pain experience amongst people who are incarcerated. Interventions to develop individual and site-specific pain management interventions are located within the nurses’ understanding of these contextual factors.
Impact of Mental Health on Cognitive Test Performance in CFL Athletes
Creators: Hansen, Jessica

Year: 2022

Approximately 3.5 million Canadians will meet the criteria for a mood disorder in their life time. Previous research has found that athletes are at a greater risk for mental health disorders than the general public. This could be due to professional athletes having intense physical and mental demands placed upon them during their sports career which can increase their susceptibility to mental health problems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between athletes’ mental health and their cognitive performance during baseline concussion testing. Study participants included 951 Canadian Football League (CFL) athletes ages 21 to 37. The participants underwent cognitive baseline testing that included the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS 29), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), and the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT). Results found that the BSI-18 and PROMIS 29 index scores did not show significant differences on cognitive performance scores on the ImPACT. Researchers did note significant variables could influence cognitive performance. This study found that history of concussion, history of psychiatric disorder, diagnosed ADHD, and diagnosed SLD showed significant differences on the ImPACT index scores. This information may help mental health professionals interpret cognitive results in relation to the additional factors that can influence cognitive performances in athletes.
