Conference Proceeding
DOUNAS, T., HUNHEVICZ, J. and BYERS, B.S. 2023. Design dimensions for blockchain oracles in the AEC industry. In Proceedings of the 2023 European Conference on Computing in Construction (EC3 2023) co-located with the 40th International CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction) conference (CIB W78 2023), 10-12 July 2023, Heraklion, Greece. Kanata, ON: CIB [online], paper 297. Available from: https://doi.org/10.35490/EC3.2023.297

The literature on blockchain for AEC often has limited discussion on the design of the blockchain Oracle, the entity that ensures trusted information input from the real world. This work aims to illuminate an often unaddressed topic of how to best de... Read More about Design dimensions for blockchain oracles in the AEC industry..

Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107420

Post stroke fatigue (PSF) affects 50 % of stroke survivors and can be disabling. Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) can preserve mitochondrial function, improve tissue perfusion and may mitigate PSF. This pilot randomised controlled trial evaluates...

The collagen synthesis response to an acute bout of resistance exercise is greater when ingesting 30 g versus 15 g and 0 g hydrolyzed collagen in resistance-trained young men. (2023)
Journal Article
LEE, J., TANG, J.C.Y., DUTTON, J., DUNN, R., FRASER, W.D., ENRIGHT, K., CLARK, D.R., STEWART, C.E. and ERSKINE, R.M. [2023]. The collagen synthesis response to an acute bout of resistance exercise is greater when ingesting 30 g versus 15 g and 0 g hydrolyzed collagen in resistance-trained young men. Journal of nutrition [online], In Press. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.10.030

Resistance exercise (RE) stimulates collagen synthesis in skeletal muscle and tendon but there is limited and equivocal evidence regarding an effect of collagen supplementation and exercise on collagen synthesis. Furthermore, it is not known if a dos...
