The Paths to Connectedness: A Review of the Antecedents of Connectedness to Nature
Although many philosophers and environmental psychologists agree that progress toward a more ecologically conscious society depends upon individuals developing a sense of connectedness to nature, such agreement is of limited use if we do not understand ...

Inertial Effects on the Stress Generation of Active Fluids [PDF]
Suspensions of self-propelled bodies generate a unique mechanical stress owing to their motility that impacts their large-scale collective behavior. For microswimmers suspended in a fluid with negligible particle inertia, we have shown that the virial ...

Raja Bandung Banana (Musa ParadisiacaL.cv Raja Bandung) Prevents Increased Systolic Blood Pressure in Rats Given Acute Stress Test [PDF]
The relationships between stress and hypertension have been evaluated. Heightened blood pressure (BP) reactions to acute stress have been implicated in cardiovascular disease's development. Consumption of fruit or vegetables lowering BP. This study aimed

Potentiation of immunomodulatory antibody therapy with oncolytic viruses for treatment of cancer
Identification of the immune suppressive mechanisms active within the tumor microenvironment led to development of immunotherapeutic strategies aiming to reverse the immunosuppression and to enhance the function of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.

Acute and Long-Term Effects of Concurrent Resistance and Swimming Training on Swimming Performance
Dry-land resistance exercise (RT) is routinely applied concurrent to swimming (SWIM) training sessions in a year-round training plan. To date, the impact of the acute effect of RT on SWIM or SWIM on RT performance and the long-term RT-SWIM or SWIM-RT ...

The role of cross-training in swim-related injuries in master’s swimmers [PDF]
Orthopedic injuries often interfere with Masters athletes’ pursuit of better performance and might place economic burden on these athletes. PURPOSE: We determined if the incidence of injuries increases with age and the economic burden associated with ...

In vivo optical imaging-guided targeted sampling for precise diagnosis and molecular pathology
Conventional tissue sampling can lead to misdiagnoses and repeated biopsies. Additionally, tissue processed for histopathology suffers from poor nucleic acid quality and/or quantity for downstream molecular profiling.

Does competitive swimming affect lung growth?
Whether the large lungs of swimmers result from intensive training or genetic endowment has been widely debated. Given that peak lung growth velocities occur during puberty, this study examined if competitive swimming during puberty affected lung growth.
