Objectives: To analyze the effects of a program composed of resistance training and nutritional interventions on functional capacity, maximal strength, and power output after 2 years of follow-up, including 2 periods of 16 weeks of intervention followed by several weeks of intervention cessation in frail patients with type 2 diabetes.
Design: MIDPOW is a substudy of a multicenter, multimodal intervention composed of resistance training combined with a structured diabetes and nutritional education program in frail and prefrail older people with type 2 diabetes (MID-Frail).
Setting And Participants: This study recruited 52 participants (mean age: 79 ± 5.6, 63% women), with type 2 diabetes mellitus, frail or prefrail using Fried's frailty phenotype.
Methods: Primary outcomes of this substudy were Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and maximal power output at 30% and 80% of 1RM.
Results: Each set of 16 weeks of intervention resulted in significant improvements in SPPB performance by a mean of 36.1% at week 18 (P < .001) and 10.2% at week 68 (P < .05). Maximal power output improvements at 30% and 80% of the 1RM ranged from 45.2% to 57.2% at week 18 (P < .01-.001); and no significant changes were observed after the second period of intervention. After 2 years of follow-up, the SPPB and maximal power values observed remained significantly higher than the baseline.
Conclusions And Implications: Resistance training combined with nutritional program improved SPPB, maximal strength, and power output in older frail patients with diabetes. These improvements were maintained above the basal levels after several weeks of intervention cessation during a 2-year follow-up.

A self-driven electrochemical system (SDES) was utilized to treat anaerobic digestate wastewater, aiming to achieve wastewater resource utilization and energy generation. The efficiencies of pollutant removal, resource recovery, and energy production were enhanced by adjusting device parameters (anode area, external resistance, and electrode spacing). The high pollutant removal rates and struvite purity were achieved with the magnesium anode area of 15 cm, external resistance of 10 Ω, and electrode spacing of 10 cm.

Intensifying the severity of electromagnetic (EM) pollution in the environment represents a significant threat to human health and results in considerable energy wastage. Here, we provide a strategy for electricity generation from heat generated by electromagnetic wave radiation captured from the surrounding environment that can reduce the level of electromagnetic pollution while alleviating the energy crisis. We prepared a porous, elastomeric, and lightweight BiTe/carbon aerogel (CN@BiTe) by a simple strategy of induced in situ growth of BiTe nanosheets with three-dimensional (3D) carbon structure, realizing the coupling of electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) and thermoelectric (TE) properties.

In this study we have used a highly immersive virtual reality (VR) cycling environment where incongruence between virtual hill gradient (created by visual gradient and bike tilt angle) and actual workload (pedalling resistance) can experimentally manipulate perception of exercise effort. This therefore may provide a method to examine the role of effort perception in cardiorespiratory control during exercise. Twelve healthy untrained participants (7 men, age 26 ± 5 years) were studied during five visits.

This article introduces an innovative multipurpose system that integrates a solar power plant with a coastal wind farm to generate refrigeration for refinery processes and industrial air conditioning. The system comprises multiple wind turbines, solar power plants, the Kalina cycle to provide partial energy for the absorption refrigeration cycle used in industrial air conditioning, and a compression refrigeration cycle for propane gas liquefaction. An extensive energy and exergy analysis was conducted on the proposed system, considering various thermodynamic parameters such as the solar power plant's energy output, the absorption chiller's cooling load, the electricity generated by the turbines, the wind turbines' power output, and the energy efficiency and exergy of each cycle within the system.
