Aerobic Capacity in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease: More than VO, a Follow-Up Study.

To control the development of people with congenital heart disease (CHD), it is important to follow their aerobic capacity (AC), especially when they exercise. This research aimed to study the progress of AC during a follow-up of adults with CHD. This is a longitudinal study which involved 127 adults with a mean age of 33.

Association of Self-Reported and Device-Measured Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity with Health-Related Quality of Life among European Older Adults.

Human movement behaviours such as physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) during waking time have a significant impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults. In this study, we aimed to analyse the association between self-reported and device-measured SB and PA with HRQoL in a cohort of community-dwelling older adults from four European countries. A subsample of 1193 participants from the SITLESS trial (61% women and 75.

GaO-on-SiC Composite Wafer for Thermal Management of Ultrawide Bandgap Electronics.

β-phase gallium oxide (GaO) is an emerging ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor ( ∼ 4.8 eV), which promises generational improvements in the performance and manufacturing cost over today's commercial wide bandgap power electronics based on GaN and SiC. However, overheating has been identified as a major bottleneck to the performance and commercialization of GaO device technologies.

Thermal Conductivity of β-Phase GaO and (AlGa)O Heteroepitaxial Thin Films.

Heteroepitaxy of β-phase gallium oxide (β-GaO) thin films on foreign substrates shows promise for the development of next-generation deep ultraviolet solar blind photodetectors and power electronic devices. In this work, the influences of the film thickness and crystallinity on the thermal conductivity of (2̅01)-oriented β-GaO heteroepitaxial thin films were investigated. Unintentionally doped β-GaO thin films were grown on -plane sapphire substrates with off-axis angles of 0° and 6° toward ⟨112̅0⟩ via metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and low-pressure chemical vapor deposition.

Thermal Conductivity of Aluminum Scandium Nitride for 5G Mobile Applications and Beyond.

Radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based on AlScN are replacing AlN-based devices because of their higher achievable bandwidths, suitable for the fifth-generation (5G) mobile network. However, overheating of AlScN film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) used in RF MEMS filters limits power handling and thus the phone's ability to operate in an increasingly congested RF environment while maintaining its maximum data transmission rate. In this work, the ramifications of tailoring of the piezoelectric response and microstructure of AlScN films on the thermal transport have been studied.
