A 16-week randomized controlled trial of a fish oil and whey protein-derived supplement to improve physical performance in older adults losing autonomy-A pilot study. by Anne-Julie Tessier, Julia Lévy-Ndejuru, Audrey Moyen, Marissa Lawson, Marie Lamarche, Joseé A Morais, Amritpal Bhullar, Francis Andriamampionona, Vera C Mazurak, Stéphanie Chevalier

“…<h4>Methods</h4>Participants were randomized to receive a supplement (EXP: 2g fish oil with 1500 IU vitamin D3 1x/d + 20-30g whey protein powder with 3g leucine 2x/d) or isocaloric placebo (CTR: corn oil + maltodextrin powder) for 16 weeks. Handgrip and knee extension strength (using dynamometry), physical performance tests and plasma phospholipid n-3 fatty acids (using GCMS) were evaluated at weeks 0, 8 and 16; and lean soft tissue mass (using DXA), at weeks 0 and 16.…”

Experimental Analysis on Compression Characteristics of Improved Phyllite Filler by ZHANG Yang

“…Soil compression is an important characteristic that affect the construction and operation of improved soft rock filling in mountainous ports.Through adding 5% cement to improve the weakly weathered phyllite filler,setting 4 kinds of rolling loads and 5 cycles of loading and unloading,and using an improved high-pressure lever consolidation instrument,this paper measures the soil strain,compaction and porosity ratio under different stress states,and specifies the change law of compression modulus and resilience modulus during loading and unloading process.The test results shows that:The deformation of the modified phyllite filler mainly occurs in the first loading process,and it increases significantly with the increase of the rolling load.The porosity ratio curve shows a concave shape with the increased cycles of loading and unloading.When the rolling load is 100 kPa,the curve of porosity ratio is nonlinear with the increased cycles of loading and unloading;when the rolling load is 200 kPa,the compression of the soil changes from medium to low with the increase of compaction cycles.At this time,the modulus of resilience takes a minimum value.It is suggested that the 200 kPa roller compaction stress should be used as the first static compaction during the construction of improved soft rock filling in mountainous ports,which should be increased appropriately in the subsequent construction.…”
