“It's a good reason to get up every morning!”: Perspectives on how feeding and observing birds affects people’s wellbeingNARA Subscribed
In light of growing mental health challenges globally, understanding the positive impacts of nature on mental wellbeing is more important than ever. However, the impacts of one of the most common intentional human–wildlife interactions, feeding wild birds, are not well understood. We surveyed 3658 participatory scientists in the USA and Canada who take part in Project FeederWatch to examine associations between wellbeing and b...
Road to Olympics: Modelling performance standards of those athletes classified for Paris 2024 in 1500 m, 5000 m, 10,000 m and marathonNARA Subscribed
Elite athlete cohorts are complex and difficult to physiologically characterize using traditional approaches. Large-scale mathematical modelling of the speed-duration relationship offers a practical solution to describe and integrate physiological performance determinants across elite endurance athletes. Therefore, this study aims to describe the performance indices (i.e., critical speed [CS], work over critical speed [D′], ma...
Does the terrain influence running critical power and biomechanics? An in-field study with highly trained trail runnersNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to assess the effects of three flat running surfaces (i.e. athletic track, road, and gravel) on the critical power (CP) parameters and running patterns of highly trained trail runners. Within a two-week timeframe, thirteen male and seven female trail runners underwent three testing sessions to evaluate CP and the work over CP ( W ’). Each session comprised two time trials of 9 and 3 minutes, separated by a 30-...
Enhancing the effectiveness of basil seed-TiO2/rGO nanocomposites for multifunctional dye removal in wastewaterNARA Subscribed
Clean water source is contaminated by industrial wastewater effluent which directly discharge into water stream. Combination of adsorption-photocatalytic is one of the preferable techniques for treating methylene blue (MB) dye wastewater. In this study, hydrothermal method was utilised in order to synthesis titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles. The synthesis of rGO was conducted by Hummer’s method by using lemon extract. Both...
Innovative resource recovery: converting discarded disposable diapers (D3) into activated carbon using Box–Behnken designNARA Subscribed
This study aims to optimize the production of activated carbon from discarded disposable diapers (D3AC) using Box–Behnken design (BBD) under response surface methodology. Biochar (D3B) was initially produced via carbonization at 900 °C for 90 min under nitrogen flow, followed by physical activation with CO 2 . The BBD model demonstrated strong reliability (R 2 = 0.9972), effectively predicting the influence of activation tempe...
