Journal ArticleDOI

Sardinian natural clinoptilolites for heavy metals and ammonium removal: experimental and modeling

Alberto Cincotti, +3 more
- 15 Dec 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the adsorption properties of clinoptilolites for the metals, copper, cadmium, lead and zinc, as well as ammonium removal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional abdominal wall reconstruction improves core physiology and quality-of-life.

Cory N. Criss, +7 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of rectus muscle function using a dynamometer showed statistical improvement by isokinetic and isometric measurements, all of which were associated with an improvement in quality-of-life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise training decreases activation of the mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-related protein-1 in insulin-resistant human skeletal muscle.

Ciaran E. Fealy, +3 more
- 01 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: These are the first data to suggest that lifestyle-mediated improvements in substrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity in obese insulin-resistant adults may be regulated through decreased activation of the mitochondrial fission protein Drp1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling of comminution processes in Spex Mixer/Mill

Alessandro Concas, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model which is able to quantitatively describe comminution processes in a ball milling system (i.e., Spex-Mixer/Mill) has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling oxygenation in venous blood and skeletal muscle in response to exercise using near-infrared spectroscopy.

Nicola Lai, +6 more
- 02 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: A mathematical model of oxygen transport and utilization that accounts for the relative contribution of hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb) to the NIRS signal was developed and indicates that changes in oxygenated Hb and Mb are responsible for different patterns of venous and muscle oxygenation dynamics observed under normoxia and hypoxia.
