Appraisal of Six Natural Mica Reference Materials for In Situ Rb‐Sr Geochronology

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points Evaluated six natural mica reference materials for in situ LA‐ICP‐MS/MS Rb‐Sr geochronology using geochemical, microstructural and isotopic characterisation. Identified robust primary reference materials: Mount Dromedary biotite (99.37 Ma) and Mica‐Fe biotite (307.75 Ma). La Posta biotite and Högsbo muscovite are suitable secondary reference

Shear Strength and Durability of Expansive Soil Treated with Recycled Gypsum and Rice Husk Ash

Applied Sciences
Expansive soil underlying structures pose a significant risk to the integrity of superstructures. Chemical soil stabilization can be used to strengthen soils due to the cost and impracticality of mechanical approaches.

Accelerating Platform User Growth: Pinduoduo's Multi‐Motivational Selfish Referral Strategy

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Referral strategies, whereby existing platform users recruit new users and thereby strengthen same‐side network effects, have long been central to digital platforms' efforts to grow the installed user base. Current referral strategies often require the referee to complete a transaction as a prerequisite for the referrer to receive the reward ...

Experimental Study of Influence of Plant Roots on Dynamic Characteristics of Clay

Applied Sciences
Conducting research on the dynamic behavior of root–soil systems is crucial for accurately assessing the seismic response of ecological slopes, thereby providing a scientific foundation for the development of appropriate seismic design measures ...

Vascular and skeletal muscle oxidative capacity responses to continuous double and single leg cycling

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this work was to determine endothelial, microvascular, skeletal muscle oxidative capacity (SMOC) and cardiorespiratory responses to an acute bout of continuous single leg cycling (SLC) and double leg cycling (DLC). Ten recreationally active men and women volunteered to participate in this investigation and reported to the ...

The effects of uninterrupted and interrupted sitting on blood pressure and arterial stiffness in patients with established coronary heart disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In healthy adults, prolonged uninterrupted sitting acutely increases blood pressure (BP) and aortic stiffness; however, these effects can be mitigated with light physical activity interruptions.

Plant‐protein supplementation improves thermoregulatory responses and ameliorates markers of intestinal damage during exercise in the heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise in the heat often causes gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances, which can impair performance. Single amino acid supplementation can attenuate gut damage and enhance exercise tolerance; however, the effectiveness of innate amino acid blends from plant‐based proteins remains underexplored.

Comparison of exercise training and repeated hot water immersion on vascular function in overweight older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies suggest that heat exposure may benefit cardiovascular health, but in overweight and obese older adults, the chronic effects of heat therapy on artery function are still uncertain. We aimed to compare the effects of 12 weeks (3×/week, 40 min) of aerobic exercise (EXE) to hot water immersion (HWI) and an inactive control group ...

Energetic microdomains and the vascular control of neuronal and muscle excitability: Toward a unified model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability.

Physiological mechanisms underlying enhanced performance with blood flow restriction training: neuromuscular, vascular and metabolic adaptations

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how 6 weeks of dynamic knee‐extensor interval training with blood flow restriction (BFR‐leg) and without (CTRL‐leg) impacts performance and its mechanisms using non‐invasive methods. Specifically, we used gold‐standard methods to assess neuromuscular function, vascular function using Doppler ultrasound, and near ...
