Comprehensive corrective exercise program improves ankle function in female athletes with limited weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion: A randomized controlled trial.

Limited ankle dorsiflexion range of motion is one of the most important risk factors for lower limb injury, which changes the biomechanics and the neuromuscular control of the lower limb muscles. This study aims to test the effectiveness of a comprehensive corrective exercise program (CCEP) on the range of motion, proprioception, dynamic balance, and muscle activation in female athletes with limited weight-bearing lunge ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. 30 female athletes aged 15 to 25 years with dorsiflexion under 34° were randomized to two groups.

Application of magnetic deep eutectic solvents as an efficient catalyst in the synthesis of new 1,2,3-triazole-nicotinonitrile hybrids a cooperative vinylogous anomeric-based oxidation.

Magnetic deep eutectic solvents (MDESs) are adjuvants and an emerging subclass of heterogeneous catalysts in organic transformations.

Synthesis of a triazine based COF and its application for the establishment of an electrochemical sensor for the simultaneous determination of Cd and Pb in edible specimens using Box-Behnken design.

The study presented here describes the characterization and synthesis of a triazine-based covalent organic framework using different analytical procedures such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The synthesized COF was then utilized as an electrocatalytic modifier for the selective and sensitive determination of Pb and Cd at nanomolar levels via square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. A Plackett-Burman design was employed to screen operational parameters influencing the sensitivity of the electroanalytical method, followed by optimization of the significant variables using Box-Behnken design.

Active Polysaccharide-Based Films Incorporated with Essential Oils for Extending the Shelf Life of Sliced Soft Bread.

Active, fully biobased film-forming dispersions (FFDs) with highly promising results for sliced soft bread preservation were successfully elaborated from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and chitosan (CH) using a simple method based on pH adjustments. They consisted of the association of polysaccharides and oleic acid (OL) added with cinnamon (CEO) or ginger (GEO) essential oils. The chemical compositions of the commercial essential oils were first determined via GC/MS, with less than 3% of compounds unidentified.

Binuclear cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes with bis-bidentate butterfly-shaped ligands: synthesis, characterization, and application in efficient yellow-orange light-emitting electrochemical cells.

Two yellow-to-orange-emitting binuclear iridium complexes of the form [Ir(ppy)(N^N)](ClO) (namely IrL1 and IrL2) were designed and synthesized, using phenylpyridine (ppy) as a cyclometalating ligand (C^N) and phenanthroimidazole-based bridging compounds as ancillary ligands (N^N), to explore the effect of sterically hindered bulky bridging ligands and their substituents on the electronic and emission properties of the related ionic transition metal complexes (iTMCs) and the performance of iTMC-based light-emitting electrochemical cells (iTMC-LECs). In CHCl solution, complexes IrL1 and IrL2 afford yellow-to-orange emission centered at 570 and 582 nm with PLQYs of 27% and 36%, respectively. The reversible and quasi-reversible redox behaviors of both complexes are shown to reveal the excellent stability of the emitters in solution.

Alteration in certain growth, biochemical, and anatomical indices of grapevine () in response to the foliar application of auxin under water deficit.

Drought-induced stress represents one of the most economically detrimental natural phenomena impacting grapevine (Vitis vinifera ) development, yield, and fruit characteristics. Also, auxin is one of the most important plant growth regulators that can reduce damage caused by stress in plants. In this study, the impact of exogenously sprayed auxin (0, 50, and 200mgL-1 ) on growth, biochemical, and anatomical parameters was investigated in two grapevine varieties (cvs.

Impact of oil type and savory plant on nutrient digestibility and rumen fermentation, milk yield, and milk fatty acid profile in dairy cows.

Fat supplements are well known for their multiple beneficial effects on ruminant health, reproduction and productivity, and as a source for certain bioactive compounds in ruminant products. On the other hand, numerous phytochemicals have demonstrated the potential to improve rumen fermentation through modifying the volatile fatty acid (VFA) pattern to favour those with greater energy efficiency, boosting microbial protein synthesis, and decreasing methane emission and ruminal ammonia concentration. Savory is an aromatic plant rich in various phytochemicals (mainly carvacrol and flavonoids) that can alter ruminal metabolism of dietary fatty acids, potentially increasing the production of some bioactive compounds such as conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs).
