Brain plasticity associated with prolonged shooting training: a multimodal neuroimaging investigation from a cross-sectional study by Keying Zhang, Tao Zhao, Yu Ding, Jia Cheng, Chunmei Cao

“…BackgroundAlthough training has been recognized as a potential contributor to neuroplasticity in athletes, the impact of prolonged shooting training on human brain plasticity remains unclear in the existing literature.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we used a multimodal neuroimaging analysis, including the analysis of functional blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, structural T1-weighted MRI images, and diffusion MRI images, to systematically identify differences between elite shooters and normal controls.ResultsThe results showed that compared to male normal controls, male elite shooters had higher regional homogeneity (ReHo) in the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, precuneus, thalamus, and cingulate gyrus, as well as higher functional connectivity between the medial frontal cortex (MedFC) and temporooccipital middle temporal gyrus (toMTG). …”

Resistance of compressed elements with small eccentricity taking into account actual height of the compressed concrete zone by I. T. Mirsayapov, G. T. Apkhadze

“…The analytical expression for the height of the compressed zone is obtained based on the simplified three-linear diagram of the deformation of concrete under compression. Reasonable refinement of the height of the compressed zone makes it possible to achieve maximum convergence with the results of calculations using a nonlinear deformation model without the use of iterative approaches to solving the problem.Conclusions. …”
