Despite the remarkable development in ferroelectric HfO2-based FETs, key reliability challenges (e.g., retention, endurance, etc.) may still limit their widespread adoption memory and logic applications. In this paper, we present a simple theoretical framework—based on Landau theory of phase transition—to design both FETs (FeFETs) negative capacitance transistors (NCFETs) investigate issues. Fo...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 8-week endurance and resistance exercise training on release of brain natriuretic peptide. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study population was categorized into 4 groups: Group-1 (n = 6) consisted of sedentary individuals who volunteered to complete 8-weeks of endurance exercise; Group-2 (n=6) consisted of sedentary individuals who volu...

Respiratory muscle fatigue develops during exhaustive exercise and can limit exercise performance. Respiratory muscle training, in turn, can increase exercise performance. We investigated whether respiratory muscle endurance training (RMT) reduces exercise-induced inspiratory and expiratory muscle fatigue. Twenty-one healthy, male volunteers performed twenty 30-min sessions of either normocapni...

a variety of anthropometric and training characteristics have been identified as predictor variables for race performance in endurance and ultra-endurance athletes. anthropometric characteristics such as skin-fold thicknesses, body fat, circumferences and length of limbs, body mass, body height, and body mass index were bi-variately related to race performance in endurance athletes such as swim...

BACKGROUND Few data are available about the effects of respiratory muscle training with normocapnic hyperpnea (NH) in COPD. The aim is to evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of NH (Spirotiger(®)) on ventilatory pattern, exercise capacity, and quality of life (QoL) in COPD patients. METHODS Twenty-six COPD patients (three females), ages 49-82 years, were included in this study. Spirometry and maxi...

Abstract Additively manufactured specimens generally exhibit comparable or improved tensile properties, such as yield stress, ultimate strength, and uniform elongation, compared to conventionally specimens. However, the defects that are typically present in additively microstructures result inferior fatigue performance. A representative volume element-based modeling technique incorporating thes...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the cycle-run and run-cycle successions of the triathlon and duathlon, respectively, on respiratory muscle strength and endurance. METHODS Respiratory muscle strength was assessed by measuring maximal inspiratory (P(Imax)) and expiratory (P(Emax)) pressures. Respiratory muscle endurance was assessed by measuring the time limit (T(lim...

Although the benefits of regular exercise in controlling cardiovascular risk factors have been extensively proven, little is known about the long-term cardiovascular effects of regular and extreme endurance sport practice, such as jogging, cycling, rowing, swimming, etc. Recent data from a small series suggest a relationship between regular, long-term endurance sport practice and atrial fibrill...

Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) are routinely assessed in exercise science and RPE is substantially associated with physiological criterion measures. According to the psychobiological model of endurance, RPE is a central limiting factor in performance. While RPE is known to be affected by psychological manipulations, it remains to be examined whether RPE can be self-regulated during static ...
