Limiting Rise in Heat Load With an Ice Vest During Elite Female Rugby Sevens Warm-Ups
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Purpose: To determine the effect of wearing a phase-change cooling vest in elite female rugby sevens athletes during (1) a simulated match-day warm-up in hot conditions prior to a training session and (2) a prematch warm-up ...
Thirty Days of Montmorency Tart Cherry Supplementation Has No Effect on Gut Microbiome Composition, Inflammation, or Glycemic Control in Healthy Adults
(
Frontiers Media SA
, 2021 , Article)
Tart cherries possess properties that may reduce inflammation and improve glycemic control, however human data on supplementation and the gut microbiota is equivocal. Processing (i.e., juice concentrate, dried, frozen) may ...
The influence of environmental and core temperature on cyclooxygenase and PGE2 in healthy humans
(
Springer Nature
, 2021 , Article)
Whether cyclooxygenase (COX)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) thermoregulatory pathways, observed in rodents, present in humans? Participants (n = 9) were exposed to three environments; cold (20 °C), thermoneutral (30 °C) and hot ...
Reference Walking Speeds for Healthy Young Adults in Qatar: Moderating Effect of Obesity and Physical Activity
(
SAGE
, 2022 , Article)
Walking speed (WS) is considered an important indicator for overall health. Despite this, there is a paucity of data relating to WS values in the Arab region. The present study aims to establish preferred (PWS) and maximal ...
Changes in core temperature during an elite female rugby sevens tournament
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: To characterize player core temperature (Tc) across a World Rugby Women's Sevens Series tournament day (WRWSS) and determine the efficacy of commonly employed cold-water-immersion (CWI) protocols. Methods: Tc was ...
Pharmacological hypotheses: Is acetaminophen selective in its cyclooxygenase inhibition?
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2021 , Article)
The precise mechanistic action of acetaminophen (ACT; paracetamol) remains debated. ACT’s analgesic and antipyretic actions are attributed to cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition preventing prostaglandin (PG) synthesis. Two COX ...
Optimising stop-bands in periodic waveguides using genetic algorithms and wave finite element method
(
American Institute of Physics
, 2024 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose using the wave finite element method and genetic algorithms to design periodic waveguide structures with optimal stop-bands. Instead of modelling waveguides using the standard finite element method, ...
Optimization of Viscoelastic Metamaterials for Vibration Attenuation Properties
(
World Scientific
, 2020 , Article)
Metamaterials (MMs) are composites that are artificially engineered to have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
Reconstruction of Road Defects from Dynamic Vehicle Accelerations by Using the Artificial Neural Networks
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Monitoring of roads is considered the first step in establishing a successful road maintenance program, which includes scheduling adequate maintenance to a certain road section at the right time. Road monitoring assesses ...
Investigating the effect of using softer rail-pads on ground-borne vibration from underground railways
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, a series of vibration measurements were performed on a section of one of the lines of the Doha Metro to explore the effect of changing rail-pads from conventional higher stiffness under-rail pads to lower ...
