Blood Flow Restricted Exercise and Vascular Function by Masahiro Horiuchi, Koichi Okita

“…It is established that regular aerobic training improves vascular function, for example, endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and arterial stiffness or compliance and thereby constitutes a preventative measure against cardiovascular disease. In contrast, high-intensity resistance training impairs vascular function, while the influence of moderate-intensity resistance training on vascular function is still controversial. …”

Metallocene Polyolefins Reinforced by Low-Entanglement UHMWPE through Interfacial Entanglements by Xin Tang, Jinheng Xing, Xiang Yan, Chunlin Ye, Letian Zhang, Yu Zhang, Baoqiang Shu, Jingshan Mu, Wei Li, Jingdai Wang, Yongrong Yang

“…For polypropylene, the lack of interaction between UHMWPE and polypropylene results in an unsatisfactory reinforcement effect, and the disentangled state makes it easier for the particles to form defects driven by a chain explosion. In contrast, regarding polyethylene and elastomer containing ethylene segments, low-entanglement UHMWPE plays a better role in reinforcement. …”

Quantitative Investigation on the Contributing Factors to the Contact Angle of the CO2/H2O/Muscovite Systems Using the Frumkin-Derjaguin Equation by Masashige Shiga, Masaatsu Aichi, Masao Sorai

“…Results show that a decrease of pH is a critical factor for the wettability alteration at a lower pressure range (0.1 MPa to 3.0 MPa). In contrast, the increase of CO2 density and the decrease in the interfacial tension of CO2/brine are significant for the wettability change at a higher pressure range (3.0 MPa to 10.0 MPa). …”

Transformation of sperm structure in Octopus vulgaris: From spermatogenesis to spermatophoric release. by Hyeon Jin Kim, Jung Jun Park, Jung Sick Lee

“…However, in the sperm located in the testis and spermatophore, the structure of the acrosome is unclear due to the presence of cytoplasm in the head. In contrast, sperm released after the spermatophoric reaction lack their cytoplasm, revealing the helical acrosome. …”

Regulatory and policy analysis of employment and health protections in Indonesia’s creative economy by Afrilies Marlia Hafny, Naili Yuris Tri, Lina Angie Angel

“…Despite advancements, such as the introduction of social health insurance in Vietnam, Indonesia faces regulatory shortcomings in providing adequate health protection for creative workers, many of whom are freelancers or contract workers. Using a normative legal research method, this study analyzes key legal frameworks, including laws related to manpower, social security, and creative economy regulations, to assess the extent to which existing policies address labor and health protection in the digital era. …”

Fuzzy Adaptive Prescribed Performance Fault-Tolerant Control for HFVs with Fixed-Time Convergence Guarantee by Zehong Dong, Yinghui Li, Maolong Lv, Zilong Zhao, Binbin Pei

“…A new fixed-time fuzzy adaptive fault-tolerant control methodology is proposed for the longitudinal dynamics of hypersonic flight vehicles (HFVs) in the presence of actuator faults, uncertain dynamics, and external disturbances. In contrast with the conventional fixed-time control schemes that typically contain the fractional powers of errors in their designs, this work develops a low-complexity control structure in the sense of removing the dependence on the need of abovementioned fractional power terms by means of prescribed performance control (PPC) method. …”

Possible Involvement of Liver Resident Macrophages (Kupffer Cells) in the Pathogenesis of Both Intrahepatic and Extrahepatic Inflammation by Yuki Kakinuma, Takuya Kimura, Yoshifumi Watanabe

“…Administration of clodronate liposomes resulted in the KC deletion and in the suppression of liver injury in T cell-mediated hepatitis by ConA as a local acute inflammation model, while the treatment did not influence dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS-) induced colitis featured by weight loss, intestinal shrink, and pathological observation as an ectopic local acute inflammation model. In contrast, KC deletion inhibited collagen-induced arthritis as a model of extrahepatic, systemic chronical inflammation. …”
