Effects of acute and chronic exercise on immunological parameters in the elderly aged: Can physical activity counteract the effects of aging? by Sellami M.

“…The concept is that some lifestyle strategies such as high-intensity exercise training may prevent disease through the attenuation of immunosenescence. In this context, we take a top-down approach and review the effect of exercise and training on immunological parameters in elderly at rest and during exercise in humans, and how they respond to different modes of training. …”

Rebound effects undermine carbon footprint reduction potential of autonomous electric vehicles by Onat, Nuri C.

“…However, they are likely to increase road transport activity and life cycle greenhouse emissions, due to several rebound effects. In this study, we investigate tradeoffs between improved fuel economy and rebound effects from a life-cycle perspective. …”

Superior photocatalytic activity of Cu doped NiWO4 for efficient degradation of benzene in air even under visible radiation by Tri N.L.M.

“…This was because Cu effectively acted as novel dopant, which not only affected valence band (VB) top and conduction band (CB) bottom of NiWO4 but also formed a medium energy level between CB and VB of the NiWO4 to decrease its energy band gap and electron-hole recombination rate. …”

Subchannel Assignment and Power Allocation for Time-Varying Fog Radio Access Network with NOMA by Qiu, Yu

“…The coordination between NOMA and F-RAN provides powerful support to extensive application of augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), vehicular networking, intelligent medical and other emerging applications. In this paper, we focus on a noncooperative game resource optimization to decrease the complexity while the dynamic optimization problem is decoupled to subchannel assignment and power allocation. …”

Protein Glycation in Plants-An Under-Researched Field with Much Still to Discover. by Rabbani, Naila

“…Proteomics analysis indicates that there is an enrichment of the amino acid residue targets of glycation, arginine and lysine residues, in predicted functional sites of the plant proteome, suggesting the susceptibility of proteins to functional inactivation by glycation. In this review, we give a brief introduction to glycation, glycating agents and glycation adducts in plants. …”

Guidelines for Patients with Bleeding Disorders Undergoing Dentalveolar Surgeries by Amirova, Mahira

“…Prolongation of bleeding time can seriously complicate the patient’s condition during and after surgery, especially if there is iron deficiency anemia or any other condition accompanied by a decrease in hematopoiesis. For this reason, the dentist surgeon must be aware about the presence of such diseases in advance, in order to prevent the development of bleeding and its undesirable consequences promptly. …”
