Conditions and timing for the precipitation of early marine diagenetic dolomite in the Triassic Dolomia Principale (northern Italy)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermodynamic constraints and empirical evidence often suggest that fabric‐retentive replacement dolomites are stable carbonate minerals that preserve ancient seawater properties. This study evaluates this hypothesis by examining the Upper Triassic Dolomia Principale in Northern Italy.

Exercise during 14 days of head down tilt bedrest attenuates motor unit impairments in older humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Head‐down tilt bedrest (HDBR) models the effects of mechanical unloading on neuromuscular function. The efficacy of exercise in preserving motor unit (MU) function in older adults during HDBR remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of 14‐day HDBR on MU properties in older adults and the protective role of exercise.
