The dynamics of steady swimming were examined in the shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus), a member of the cartilaginous fish family Lamnidae, a family known for their morphological adaptations for high-performance locomotion and their similarity in hydromechanical design to tunas. Patterns of red muscle (RM) strain (i.e. relative length change) and activation were quantified at two axial position...

BACKGROUND Remote monitoring (RM) permits home interrogation of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and provides an alternative option to frequent in-person visits. OBJECTIVE The Italia-RM survey aimed to investigate the current practice of ICD follow-up in Italy and to evaluate the adoption and routine use of RM. METHODS An ad hoc questionnaire on RM adoption and resource use duri...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of moderate-load (10 RM) and low-load (20 RM) resistance training schemes on maximal strength and body composition. Sixteen resistance-trained men were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups: a moderate-load group (n = 8) or a low-load group (n = 8). The resistance training schemes consisted of 8 exercises performed 4 times per week for 6 weeks. ...

We investigate the coalescence of massive black hole ($M_{\rm BH}\gtrsim 10^{6}~\rm M_{\odot}$) binaries (MBHBs) at $63 \sigma$) overdense regions ($M_h\sim 10^{12}~\rm M_{\odot}$ dark matter halos $z = 6$) Universe. first analyse impact different resolutions and AGN feedback prescriptio...

The convective dredge-up of carbon from the interiors hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs has long been invoked to explain presence absorption features in spectra cool DQ stars ($T_{\rm eff} < 10{,}000\,{\rm K}$). It hypothesized that this transport process is not limited and also operates, albeit less efficiently, non-DQ within same temperature range. This population predominantly composed DC dwar...
