Standard deviation of individual response for VO2max following exercise interventions: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2024)
Journal Article
RENWICK, J.R.M., PREOBRAZENSKI, N., WU., Z., KHANSARI, A., LEBOUEDEC, M.A., NUTTALL, J.M.G. BANCROFT, K.R., SIMPSON-STAIRS, N., SWINTON, P.A. and GURD, B.J. [2024]. Standard deviation of individual response for VO2max following exercise interventions: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sports medicine [online], (accepted).

Although numerous attempts to demonstrate inter-individual differences in trainability across various outcomes have been unsuccessful, the investigation of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) trainability warrants further study. Our objective was to... Read More about Standard deviation of individual response for VO2max following exercise interventions: a systematic review and meta-analysis..

The influence of nutrition intervention on the P1NP and CTX-1 response to an acute exercise bout: a systematic review with meta-analysis. (2024)
Journal Article
DOLAN, E., DUMAS, A., ESTEVES, G.P., TAKARABE, L.L., PERFEITO, L.A.M., KEANE, K.M., GUALANO, B., KELLEY, A.G., BURKE, L., SALE, C. and SWINTON, P.A. [2024]. The influence of nutrition intervention on the P1NP and CTX-1 response to an acute exercise bout: a systematic review with meta-analysis. Sports medicine [online], (accepted).

Although nutrition and exercise both influence bone metabolism, little is currently known about whether nutritional intervention can modulate the bone biomarker response to acute exercise. Improved understanding of the relationships between nutrition...

Towards fully automated processing and analysis of construction diagrams: AI-powered symbol detection. (2024)
Journal Article
JAMIESON, L., MORENO-GARCIA, C. and ELYAN, E. [2024]. Towards fully automated processing and analysis of construction diagrams: AI-powered symbol detection. International journal on document analysis and recognition [online], Latest Articles. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10032-024-00492-9

Construction drawings are frequently stored in undigitised formats and consequently, their analysis requires substantial manual effort. This is true for many crucial tasks, including material takeoff where the purpose is to obtain a list of the equip...

Influence of droplet-free ta-C coatings and lubrication conditions on tribological performance and mechanical characteristics of WC−Co. (2024)
Journal Article
MURASAWA, K., DIAB, M.R., WANG, M., NARAGINO, H., YOSHITAKE, T. and EGIZA, M. 2024. Influence of droplet-free ta-C coatings and lubrication conditions on tribological performance and mechanical characteristics of WC−Co. Materials letters [online], 372, article number 137058. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2024.137058

Cemented carbide (WC−Co) tools suffer from surface abrasion, limiting their performance. This study explores droplet-free tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings deposited via arc ion plating as a solution. The coatings possess a dense, sp3-rich...
