Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Natural Fibres See

Infrared spectroscopy is nowadays one of the most important analytical techniques available to scientists. One of the greatest advantages of the infrared spectroscopy is that virtually any sample in any state may be analyzed. For example, liquids, solutions, pastes, powders, films, fibres,&#...

Rational synthesis of sea urchin-like NiCo-LDH/tannin carbon microsphere composites using microwave hydrothermal technique for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitor See

In this study, tannin-derived porous carbon (TAC) with different microstructures was prepared via a microwave hydrothermal method, followed by KOH activation. Subsequently, the sea urchin–like NiCo-LDH/Tannin-derived carbon-based microsphere composite materials were rationally synthesized through a single-step ...

Self-Perceptions of Ageing Predict Recovery After a Fall: Prospective Analysis from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing See

Objective: To investigate how mindsets around aging at baseline affect physical recovery following a subsequent fall. Design: Longitudinal observational study. Setting: English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA). Participants: We analyzed data&#...

Efficacy of a single session of anticipatory postural adjustments training to support people with parkinson’s overcoming freezing of gait: a multi-methods approach See

Objective: To assess the efficacy of anticipatory postural adjustments training on the ability to successfully step from freezing of gait, and to evaluate the contribution of attentional processes to potential benefits using an additional attentional-control training intervention. ...

Modelling thermal conductivity of porous core systems for vacuum insulation panels See

Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are one of the most advanced and expensive insulation technologies, which achieve exceptionally low thermal conductivities of up to 0.004 W/(m·K) within a compact space. Modelling the thermal conductivity of core materials is essential for understanding their&...

Anxiety-related attentional characteristics and their relation to freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's: Cross-validation of the Adapted Gait Specific Attentional Profile (G-SAP) See

Background: Anxiety often exacerbates freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's (PwP). Anxiety-related attentional processes and associated processing inefficiencies, like conscious movement processing (CMP) and ruminations, can substantially impact movement control. However, their impact on ...

Overview of Effects of Motor Learning Strategies in Neurologic and Geriatric Populations: A Systematic Mapping Review See

Objective: To provide a broad overview of the current state of research regarding the effects of 7 commonly used motor learning strategies to improve functional tasks within older neurologic and geriatric populations. Data Sources: PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase were se...

Chronic dizziness in older adults: Disrupted sensorimotor EEG beta oscillations during postural instability See

Objective: Chronic dizziness is common in older adults, yet frequently occurs without a clear cause (‘idiopathic dizziness’). Patients experience subjective unsteadiness with minimal objective imbalance, potentially related to small vessel disease. Here we examine the hypothesis that this syndr...
