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. …”

Novel Electroless Deposited Corrosion - Resistant and Anti-Bacterial NiP-TiNi Nanocomposite Coatings by Fayyad, Eman

“…The addition of TiNi nanoparticles into the NiP matrix led to the transform of the amorphous structure of the as-plated NiP into a semi-crystalline one. The microhardness of the composite coating significantly enhances with increasing TiNi concentration up to 0.4 g L-1 and further improvement takes place after heat treatment. …”
