Effects of static stretching and specific warm-up on the repetition performance in upper- and lower-limb exercises in resistance-trained older women.

Introduction: Preparation methods are often used to improve performance (e.g., number of repetitions) within the resistance training session.

Broad Range Tuning of InAs Quantum Dot Emission for Nanophotonic Devices in the Telecommunication Bands.

InAs semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the near-infrared are promising platforms for on-demand single-photon sources and spin-photon interfaces. However, the realization of quantum-photonic nanodevices emitting in the telecom windows with similar performance remains an open challenge. In particular, nanophotonic devices incorporating quantum light emitting diodes in the telecom C-band based on GaAs substrates are still lacking due to the relaxation of the lattice constant along the InGaAs graded layer which makes the implementation of electrically contacted devices challenging.

Neurosteroids and Translocator Protein (TSPO) in neuroinflammation.

Neurosteroids have a crucial role in physiological intrinsic regulations of the Central Nervous System functions. They are derived from peripheral steroidogenic sources and from the de novo neurosteroidogenic capacity of brain cells. Significant alterations of neurosteroid levels have been frequently observed in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

TiO nanotubes incorporated into a glaze-coating ceramic: surface roughness, color, and antibiofilm activity.

This study evaluated the surface roughness, color change, and antibacterial effect of a ceramic glaze enhanced with TiO nanotubes (n-TiO). n-TiO (0, 2, 2.5, and 5 wt%) was added to a ceramic glaze powder, applied to the surface of forty feldspathic ceramic specimens, and sintered.
