Effects of agricultural or gardening physical activity on cardiovascular disease and dementia-related markers via arterial stiffness, cognitive function, and cerebral white matter status: results from cross-sectional and interventional studies by Masato Nishiwaki, Seiya Takada, Seiya Takada, Shotaro Otsuka, Hyuma Makizako, Harutoshi Sakakima, Naoto Shiomi, Satomi Ooba, Naoyuki Matsumoto, Kiyoshi Kikuchi, Kiyoshi Kikuchi

“…BackgroundAgricultural or gardening physical activity (AGPA) offers potential as a simple strategy to improve cardiovascular disease and dementia-related markers; however, the actual preventive effects remain unclear. Our objective was to investigate AGPA regarding related markers of cardiovascular disease and dementia using cross-sectional and interventional approaches.Methods and resultsIn Study 1, community-based older individuals were assessed, and 30 individuals who performed AGPA (AG group) and 30 1:1 age-, sex-, and objective activity-matched controls were cross-sectionally compared (mean age, 75 ± 6 y). …”

Numerical model of the pneumatic diaphragm actuator by Aleksandr Kovalenko

“…The key point of the investigation was development of the diaphragm model and its key parameter - effective area. It has been found that the accurate enough diaphragm effective area can be determined as a function of readily available and easily measurable parameters such as the rigid center displacement, pressures in the chambers, diaphragm dimensions, and its material physical properties. …”
