Submicron Metasurface Reconfigured Multiband Smart Windows

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a submicron metasurface reconfigured multiband thermochromic smart window. By integrating subwavelength nanostructures into a Fabry−Perot resonator configuration, it mitigates conventional trade‐offs to simultaneously deliver high luminous transmittance and robust solar heating and radiative cooling modulation capabilities ...

Perceptions of legitimacy, attitudes and buy-in among athlete groups: a cross-national qualitative investigation providing practical solutions [PDF]

, 2018
First paragraph: In order to achieve its stated purpose, anti-doping relies on athlete buy-in to its overall goals and methods and their compliance with anti-doping policies.

Atomic Layer Deposition Processes: Versatile Platforms for Engineering ZnO‐Chitosan Biointerfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Vapour phase metalation (VPM), multiplied pulsed vapour phase infiltration (MPI), and O2 plasma‑enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) tailor Zn–chitosan (Zn‑CS) films. PEALD improves wettability and biocompatibility. MPI enhances semiconductor behavior. Antiseptic selectivity: VPM → E. coli; MPI → H. pylori.

Australian athlete support personnel lived experience of anti-doping

, 2022
Athlete support personnel (ASP) implement drug control policies for sport, such as anti-doping. Interviews with 39 ASP reveal how differences between policy and practice play out in their "lived experience" of anti-doping.

Reverse–normal immunopurification: An effective approach for purifying recombinant erythropoietin from its analogues in doping analysis

Journal of Sport and Health Science
Background: Recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) is commonly used in therapy but may be abused in sports to enhance endurance. In doping analysis, rEPO can be detected in human urine or blood samples at picogram (pg) levels based on its slightly higher ...

Immunoinflammatory Mechanisms and Biocompatibility of Bioactive Dental Biomaterials: From Fundamental Insights to Clinical Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐host dialogue at the implant interface governs biological fate and osseointegration. Surface physicochemical properties of titanium (Ti) dental implants, including microgrooves, nanopatterns, nanotopography, roughness, and wettability, modulate the initial adsorption of proteins and the formation of a dynamic biointerface.

Detection of the GH analogue somatrogon in doping control urine samples by means of LC-HRMS/MS

Scientific Reports
Somatrogon is a synthetic growth hormone (GH) analog, whose misuse in sports is prohibited at all times. As analytical approaches complementary to existing immunological GH detection methods were considered beneficial for its detection in doping control ...
