Gait Characteristics Analyzed with Smartphone IMU Sensors in Subjects with Parkinsonism under the Conditions of "Dry" Immersion.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is increasingly being studied using science-intensive methods due to economic, medical, rehabilitation and social reasons. Wearable sensors and Internet of Things-enabled technologies look promising for monitoring motor activity and gait in PD patients. In this study, we sought to evaluate gait characteristics by analyzing the accelerometer signal received from a smartphone attached to the head during an extended TUG test, before and after single and repeated sessions of terrestrial microgravity modeled with the condition of "dry" immersion (DI) in five subjects with PD.

Performance and Mechanism of Photoelectrocatalytic Activity of MoS/WO Heterostructures Obtained by Reactive Pulsed Laser Deposition for Water Splitting.

This work studies the factors that affect the efficiency of the photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using MoS/WO nano-heterostructures obtained by reactive pulsed laser deposition (RPLD) on glass substrates covered with fluorinated tin oxide (FTO). Another focus of the research is the potential of MoS nanofilms as a precursor for MoO(S) nanofilms, which enhance the efficiency of the photo-activated oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using the MoO(S)/WO/FTO heterostructures. The nanocrystalline WO film was created by laser ablation of a W target in dry air at a substrate temperature of 420 °C.
