The objective of this study was to assess and compare the flexural strength and Vickers hardness of five nanofiller-containing composites (Filtek Supreme XT, Gradia Forte, Luna-Wing, GNH400N, GCUC) against five microhybrid composites (Meta Color Prime Art, Solidex, Estenia C&B, Ceramage, Clearfil Majesty) before and after rotating fatigue test (RFT). For each resin composite, 16 rectangular beam specimens (2 mm × 2 mm × 25 mm) were prepared and half of which were subjected to 1 × 10(4) cycles in RFT. Flexural strength was determined using a three-point bending test. Vickers hardness measurements were carried out on specimens which failed after the three-point bending test. When under the influence of rotating fatigue, the flexural strength of all composites was affected by multiple factors. In contrast, rotating fatigue had no significant influence on the Vickers hardness of both microhybrid and nanofiller-containing composites.

In modern society, many workers struggle with sleep deprivation due to their work schedules and excessive workloads. Accurate self-awareness and self-monitoring abilities are crucial for workers to adopt risk-coping strategies and protective behaviors when fatigued. The current study examined the relationship between chronotypes and self-monitoring performance during 24 h of sleep deprivation.

Swimmer's shoulder is a common condition among elite swimmers, often leading to pain and reduced performance. Fatigue can exacerbate this condition by affecting shoulder strength, proprioception, and range of motion, potentially increasing the risk of overuse injuries. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate the impact of physiotherapy treatment and the effects of fatigue on shoulder kinematics using inertial and magnetic measurement units (IMUs).

In order to solve the problems of rutting and early fatigue cracks in emulsified asphalt cold recycled pavement, and the shortage of natural stone resources and new environmental hazards caused by the use of traditional limestone powder filler. In this study, coal gangue powder was added to prepare Emulsified Asphalt Mastic (EAM) to improve the rheological properties and fatigue performance. A series of tests, including frequency scanning, temperature scanning, Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Linear Amplitude Scanning (LAS), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted.

Most sports and leisure activities involve repetitive movements in the upper limb, which are typically linked to pain and discomfort in the neck and shoulder area. Movement variability is generally expressed by changes in movement parameters from one movement to another and is a time-dependent feature of repetitive activities. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of repeated movement-induced fatigue on biomechanical coordination and variability in athletes with and without chronic shoulder pain (CSP).
