Enhanced Performance and Durability of Zinc–Air Batteries Utilizing W‐Doped Cobalt Pentlandite Catalysts

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A W‐doped cobalt pentlandite electrocatalyst with sulfur vacancies is synthesized, guided by DFT calculations, which modifies the d‐band center, promoting oxygen intermediate desorption and lowering the *O generation energy barrier, thus enhancing catalytic activity.

Jerk as an indicator of physical exertion and fatigue

Automation in Construction, 2019
Abstract Physical exertion may result in fatigue which is a key factor leading to increased risk of injury, reduced productivity, and decline in work quality in construction. Most practical fatigue assessments rely on subjective measurement scales including surveys and questionnaires.

A Case of a Man with Syncope After Physical Exertion

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 2022
Editor's note: This is the next installment in a series on electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation. Nurses in all settings should know the basics, as medications and physiological changes can cause cardiac arrhythmias. Each article will start with a brief case scenario and an ECG strip and then take you step by step through analyzing the heart rhythm.

The Effects of Physical Exertion on Cognitive Performance [PDF]

open access: possible, 2002
Abstract : This study examined the cognitive and physiological performance of soldiers as they exercised on a treadmill at various grades. Twelve soldiers walked at 1.56 m/sec on three grades, 0%, 3.5%, and 7.0%. The cognitive tasks performed by the soldiers were taken from the Walter Reed Performance Assessment Battery. The tasks chosen for this study

Exercise, physical activity, and exertion over the business cycle [PDF]

open access: possibleSocial Science & Medicine, 2013
Shifts in time and income constraints over economic expansions and contractions would be expected to affect individuals' behaviors. We explore the impact of the business cycle on individuals' exercise, time use, and total physical exertion, utilizing information on 112,000 individual records from the 2003-2010 American Time Use Surveys. In doing so, we

The physiology of extreme physical exertion

Endeavour, 1987
Abstract Regular physical activity can make an important contribution to maintaining a healthy body. However, insufficient knowledge of the biological laws underlying the training process may easily lead to excessive strain and injuries. Extremely strenuous activities, such as marathons and triathlons, require proper training and preparation ...

Physical aptitudes to exertion in children with Down's syndrome

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 1989
ABSTRACT. The individual with Down's syndrome is characterized by apathy towards physical exercise. Ten untrained subjects with Down's syndrome and a control group have been tested at rest and after exercise on a bicycle ergometer. In subjects with Down's syndrome, the authors have observed: (a) a lower orthostatic index at rest; (b) a lower indirect ...

Physical Exertion and Mental Performance

Ergonomics, 1973
The problem of why people in a state of fatigue make wrong decisions prompted a series of laboratory experiments of which two are described. Subjects pedalled a bicycle ergometer for varying periods of time and were tested for mental performance after different amounts of physical exertion.
