Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out as part of the BRIDGE|50 research project, focusing on large‐scale loading tests performed on five 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete (PC) girders. The study aimed at evaluating the structural response of five girders retrieved from a viaduct in the urban area of Turin, Italy, subjected to 4 ...

Effects of Combined Preconditioning Strategies on Athletic Performance: A Randomized Crossover Trial

open access: yesCentral European Journal of Sport Sciences and Medicine
This study investigated the effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC), post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE), and their combination (IPC+PAPE) on anaerobic performance in trained male athletes.

Biochemical and structural characterization of a tail‐spike protein with depolymerase activity identified in a marine podovirus

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
The marine tail‐spike protein Dpo31 degrades the exopolysaccharide of its host and has structural features similar to those of other members of this protein class, despite similarity not being detected at the sequence level.Marine phages are, through the infection of their bacterial hosts, key regulators of microbiome and carbon fluxes in the ocean ...

Protein targets of oxidized phospholipids in endothelial cellss⃞

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
Oxidation products of 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (Ox-PAPC) are found in atherosclerotic lesions, apoptotic cells, and oxidized LDL and stimulate human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to produce inflammatory cytokines ...

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Does one heavy load back squat set lead to postactivation performance enhancement of three-point explosion and sprint in third division American football players?

open access: yesBMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background American football players need the ability to provide maximal muscular power in a modicum of time. Postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE), which is characterized by an acute improvement of a performance measure following conditioning ...

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...
