Nutritional load in post-prandial oxidative stress and the pathogeneses of diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes mellitus affected more than 500 million of people globally, with an annual mortality of 1.5 million directly attributable to diabetic complications. Oxidative stress, in particularly in post-prandial state, plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of the diabetic complications.

Enhancing squat movement classification performance with a gated long-short term memory with transformer network model.

Bodyweight squat is one of the basic sports training exercises. Automatic classification of aberrant squat movements can guide safe and effective bodyweight squat exercise in sports training. This study presents a novel gated long-short term memory with transformer network (GLTN) model for the classification of bodyweight squat movements.

Exploring the environmental properties and resource utilization of construction waste in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is a capital economic circle for the future. Promoting the coordinated development of its population, economy, resources and environment is a major national strategy. And as towns and cities continue to expand, the volume of construction waste is gradually expanding, posing a major challenge to the sustainable development of the construction industry.

Influence of Load Knowledge on Biomechanics of Asymmetric Lifting.

Load knowledge has been identified as a factor affecting the risk of low back pain (LBP) during symmetric lifting. However, the effects of load knowledge in asymmetric lifting tasks have not been reported yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the load knowledge influence on lifting biomechanics in asymmetric lifting tasks; Methods: Twenty-four male adults were recruited to complete a psychophysical lifting capacity test and a simulated asymmetric lifting task.

Influence of load knowledge on lifting biomechanics.

. Findings from previous studies implied that appropriately controlling load knowledge might help improve the biomechanical performance during lifting tasks. However, only load weight knowledge was often discussed in previous studies.

Prediction Model for Compressive Strength of Porous Concrete with Low-Grade Recycled Aggregate.

As the first batch of products after the resource utilization of construction and demolition waste, low-grade recycled aggregate (RA) has not been fully utilized, which hinders the development of the comprehensive recycling industry of construction waste. Therefore, this paper studies the mechanical properties of porous concrete (POC) with low-grade RA. An improved relationship between porosity and compressive strength of brittle, porous materials is used to express the compressive strength of POC with recycled aggregate (RPOC), and the prediction for compressive strength of porous concrete with low-grade RA is constructed by analyzing the mechanism of compressive damage.

Periodization and Block Periodization in Sports: Emphasis on Strength-Power Training-A Provocative and Challenging Narrative.

Stone, MH, Hornsby, WG, Haff, GG, Fry, AC, Suarez, DG, Liu, J, Gonzalez-Rave, JM, and Pierce, KC. Periodization and block periodization in sports: emphasis on strength-power training-a provocative and challenging narrative. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2351-2371, 2021-Periodization can be defined as a logical sequential, phasic method of manipulating fitness and recovery phases to increase the potential for achieving specific performance goals while minimizing the potential for nonfunctional over-reaching, overtraining, and injury.

Fast Response Organic Tandem Photodetector for Visible and Near-Infrared Digital Optical Communications.

Organic photodetectors (OPDs), which usually work as photodiodes, photoconductors, or phototransistors, have emerged as candidates for next-generation light sensing. However, low response speed caused by low carrier mobility and resistance-capacitance (RC) time constant, severely hinders the commercialization of OPDs. Herein, the authors demonstrate a state-of-the-art OPD with a record response speed of 146.

Evaluation of force-time curve analysis methods in the isometric mid-thigh pull test.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the manual and automatic analysis methods for force-time curve analysis of the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) test. The visual analysis, first derivative analysis and threshold analysis methods were used to analyse onset time and time-specific forces at 50 ms, 90 ms, 200 ms and 250 ms on the force-time curve. Ninety-three collegiate sports athletes' trials were selected and analysed by each method.

Color and transparency-switchable semitransparent polymer solar cells towards smart windows.

Semitransparent polymer solar cells (ST-PSCs) have attracted worldwide attention owing to unique superiority in multiple utilization of incident light. However, the color of ST-PSCs is relatively uniform after fabrication, cannot be dynamically tuned in terms of application requirement. Herein, we demonstrate a high-efficiency ST-PSCs as a smart window, which can be reversibly switched on and off by a gasochromic tungsten trioxide/platinum (WO/Pt) back reflector layer.

Highly sensitive, broadband, fast response organic photodetectors based on semi-tandem structure.

Solution-processed organic photodetectors (OPDs) simultaneously integrating high sensitivity, ultrafast response and broadband detection have rarely been achieved so far. Herein, we demonstrate OPDs based on a semi-tandem structure with remarkable performance by solution-processability. The semi-tandem structure directly superimposes two active layers with complementary absorption spectra, achieving a broad spectral response of 300-1000 nm.

Transepithelial transport of Cerulenin across Caco-2 cell monolayers.

The transepithelial transport of Cerulenin across Caco-2 cell monolayers was examined in this study. The permeated amounts of Cerulenin were measured by HPLC method to calculate the permeation rate and the apparent permeability coefficient (P(app)). The transport of Cerulenin was independent on apical pH and exhibited concentration-dependent and nonsatuable even at 10 mM Cerulenin.
