Purpose: This study examined the independent effects of cold-water submersion and a rehydration strategy on an aerobic endurance performance and orthostatic tolerance following a four-hour dive in cold water (10°C).
Methods: Nine male subjects completed a control (CON) performance and lower-body negative pressure test (LBNP) and two water immersion visits with either no rehydration (NR) or a post-immersion rehydration (RH) with 1 L of water. Following submersion, subjects ran to exhaustion and submitted to LBNP.
Results: Core body temperature declined during submersion and remained reduced from baseline until the run (P ⟨ 0.001) and was not different between NR and RH (P = 0.13). Total urine output during submersion was not different between groups (1.69 ± 0.49 (NR), 1.75 ± 0.52 (RH) L; P = 0.74) eliciting a body mass reduction of -2.2 ± 0.3 and -0.8 ±; 0.3% (P ⟨ 0.01), respectively. Run duration was not different (547 ± 141 (NR), 566 ± 152 (RH) s; P = 0.79); however, both NR and RH run duration was shorter compared to CON (722 ± 170 s; P = 0.04). Cumulative stress index was suppressed in NR (534 ± 163 mmHg*min) and RH (591 ± 129 mmHg*min) compared to CON (707 ± 170 mmHg*min, P V#8804; 0.03), with no differences between submersion trials (P = 0.23).
Conclusion: Compared to a non-submersed state, run duration and orthostatic tolerance was reduced following a four-hour cold-water submersion. Rehydration with 1 L of water following submersion did not offer a performance advantage over no rehydration.

Objective: Continuous advancements in composite resin materials have revolutionized and expanded its clinical use, improving its physical and mechanical properties. Attaining and retaining surface texture and gloss are crucial for the long-term durability of the composite resin material. This study investigated the supra-nanospherical filler composite material compared with different composite resin materials immersed in different beverages.

Multifunctional coatings have great application value in the protection of Marine equipment, ships and ship facilities, but they still suffer from the disadvantages of high preparation cost and complicated synthesis methods. Herein, employing a simple method to synthesize black carbon nitride (BCN), as the filler in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to construct BCN/PDMS composite coating with a multifunctional anti-corrosion/antifouling coating capable of photothermal self-healing property. Experimental results exhibit that the BCN/PDMS coating can still possesses excellent corrosion resistance after 28 d of immersion in the simulated seawater, and the impedance modulus still manages to reach 6.

To further elucidate the variations of secondary oxidation spontaneous combustion risk of lignite under different air flows and immersion time. Secondary oxidation experiments of short-term water-immersed coal and long-term water-immersed coal were conducted under four air flows. The results show that, the presence of a temperature inflection point during primary oxidation process, when coal temperature exceeds it, both the oxygen consumption rate and heat release intensity of long-term water-immersed coal are lower, furthermore, decrease in air flow leads to reduction in the temperature inflection point.

The effects of different valence metal ions on the formation of hydrogels with α-lactalbumin fibrils (ALAF) were comprehensively examined in this study. The properties of hydrogel were generally characterized with water holding capacity (WHC), rheology, texture, DSC and ICP tests. Except FeCl, it was shown that KCl, NaCl, CaCl, MgCl, NiCl, and AlCl at 90 mM could induce the formation of hydrogels with ALAF (40 mg/mL), and hydrogels formed by high valence metal salts had more good properties (viscoelasticity, WHC, and thermal stability), and the amounts of metal ions released from hydrogels with high valence salts after immersion in deionized water for 90 min were all below 10 %.

Background: Noninvasive caries treatments work topically, which may limit efficacy. The authors hypothesized that an alternative approach using mineral-loaded particles designed to target the subsurface of noncavitated caries lesions could be advantageous. This study shows in vitro proof-of-concept.
