Caffeine use or napping to enhance repeated sprint performance after partial sleep deprivation: Why not both? by Romdhani, Mohamed

“…Purpose: To compare the effect of a 20-minute nap opportunity (N20), a moderate dose of caffeine (CAF; 5 mg·kg-1), or a moderate dose of caffeine before N20 (CAF+N) as possible countermeasures to the decreased performance and the partial sleep deprivation-induced muscle damage. …”

Design and analysis of PV fed high-voltage gain DC-DC converter using PI and NN controllers by Madisa V.G., Varaprasad

“…When the converter switch comes under active state two capacitors are discharged in series, similarly when the converter switch under inactive state those two capacitors are charged in parallel through the coupled inductor (CI) energy so, to get a high voltage at the converter output side. To reuse the leakage-inductor (LI) energy of the CI with the help of a passive clamp circuit for reducing the voltage stress across the switch, similarly switch has less resistance so conduction losses also decreased. …”

S‐Fertilizer (Elemental Sulfur) Improves the Phytoextraction of Cadmium through Solanum nigrum L. by Alatawi, Aishah

“…The application of Gyp 100 mg kg−1 boosted plant growth and physiology along with oxidants and antioxidants activity as compared to ES 100 mg kg−1 alone, and combine application of GYP+ES 50 + 50 mg kg−1. The application of ES 100 mg kg−1 showed an effective approach to decreasing Cd uptake as compared to Gyp 100 mg kg−1. …”

Age-Related Differences of the Athlete`s Heart by Kneffel, Zsuzsanna

“…LV hypertrophy is less marked or missing at the older ages (50-80 years). Left ventricle muscle mass (LVMM) is higher in older endurance athletes than in age-matched non-athletes (5) but the difference between athletic and non-athletic subjects decrease continuously or disappears during the ageing. …”

Computational Simulation Of Organic Rankine Cycle Retrofitted To Petroleum Well by Kharseh, Mohamad

“…As shown in Figure 2, the simulations show that the optimal extraction rate 350 W at temperature difference between inlet and outlet of the well equals 16 oC and ground heat exchanger diameter equals 95 mm. This way, for a particular site the proposed models in the current study can be used to specify the optimal working parameters of geothermal system at different working conditions.…”

Effect of left atrial ligation-driven altered inflow hemodynamics on embryonic heart development: clues for prenatal progression of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. by Salman, Huseyin Enes

“…At later stages after the heart septation, it causes hemodynamic disturbances in LV. As a consequence of the LAL procedure, the left-AV canal and LV volume decrease in size, and in the opposite way, the right-AV canal and right ventricle volume increase. …”
