DUAL-TASK TRAINING WITH PROGRESSION FROM VARIABLE- TO FIXED-PRIORITY INSTRUCTIONS VERSUS DUAL-TASK TRAINING WITH VARIABLE-PRIORITY ON GAIT SPEED IN COMMUNITY-DWELLING OLDER ADULTS: A PROTOCOL FOR A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Abstract Background Functional independence and safe mobility, especially in older people, mostly rely on the ability to perform dual tasks, particularly during activities with variable- and fixed-priority attention.The aim of this study is to compare the dual-task training with progression from variable- to fixed-priority instructions versus dual-

We propose a novel patterning method for self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) using near-field photothermal desorption (NPTD).This paper reports the patterning principle and the study on optimum heating conditions.The proposed method utilizes the thermal desorption of constituent molecules of a SAM through the irradiation with near-field light, which c

Regulatory T (Treg) cells maintain immune homeostasis by suppressing excessive immune responses.Treg cells induce tolerance against self- and foreign antigens, thus preventing autoimmunity, allergy, graft rejection, and fetus rejection during pregnancy.However, Treg cells also infiltrate into iphone xr price calgary tumors and inhibit antitumor imm

Fens belong to the most threatened ecosystems in Europe.Maintaining a high water table through rewetting is an effective measure to rehabilitate many of their ecosystem functions.However, the impact of meteorological conditions such as vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and precipitation on water tables is still unclear for rewetted fens.Here, we compare

Abstract This paper explores the innovative dynamics established through the European Universities Initiative (EUI) and their role in steering collaborative, challenge-driven research with societal impact.The EUI fosters the creation of university alliances aimed at aligning education and research with societal needs within the European Research Ar
