Effect of concentration of DOC loaded TiO 2 nanotubes on the corrosion behavior of smart coatings by Ubaid F.

“…TGA and FTIR analyses also indicate that different amounts of encapsulated TiO2 nanotubes dispersed into smart coatings do not degrade their structural and thermal properties. Moreover, a decrease in the corrosion rate of smart coatings with increasing amount of encapsulated TiO2 nanotubes in the EIS analysis confirms their superior anticorrosive performance. …”

Effect of Verbal Encouragement on Performance and Affective Responses in Male Sport Science Students during Sprint Modalities by Sahli, Faten

“…The assessed parameters comprised physical performance, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and a feeling scale. Post hoc test analysis indicates a significant increase in physical performance during VETS and VESS conditions compared to the control condition due to a decrease in sprint in line 20 m (VETS: p < 0.001, d = 0.55; VESS: p = 0.016, d = 0.41), sprint 10*2 (VETS: p < 0.001, d = 0.64; VESS: p = 0.05, d = 0.36), and sprint L (VETS: p = 0.001, d = 1.19) times compared to the control condition. …”

Elaeagnus angustifolia Plant Extract Inhibits Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Induces Apoptosis via HER2 Inactivation and JNK Pathway in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cells by Jabeen, Ayesha

“…Our data revealed that extract inhibits cell proliferation and deregulates cell-cycle progression of these two cancer cell lines. extract also prevents the progression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), an important event for cancer invasion and metastasis; this is accompanied by upregulations of E-cadherin and β-catenin, in addition to downregulations of vimentin and fascin, which are major markers of EMT. Thus, extract causes a drastic decrease in cell invasion ability of SKBR3 and ZR75-1 cancer cells. …”
