Exercise intensity and shooting position modulate fixation behavior and 2-point shooting accuracy in elite female basketball players: An eye-tracking study
Visual attention plays a crucial role in basketball shooting, yet how it adapts under varying exercise intensities and from different shooting positions remains poorly understood, especially in elite...
Coupled hydro-mechanical processes in rainfall-triggered mudstone landslides revealed by 3D laser scanning and model testing
To elucidate the hydro-mechanical evolution of rainfall-triggered loess-mudstone interface landslides and improve monitoring and early warning, we conducted a large-scale indoor physical model test un...
Analysis of adenylate cyclase activity in Japanese children with orthostatic dysregulation
The aim of the study was to clarify the cause of orthostatic dysregulation in Japanese children by analyzing fluctuations in adenylate cyclase activity. Four types of orthostatic dysregulation in Japa...
Comparative Gene Co-expression Network Analysis of Proviral and Antiviral Responses to Dengue Virus-2 (DENV-2) and Zika Virus (ZIKV) Infection in Human Neural Progenitor Cells (hNPCs)
The comparative proviral and antiviral mechanisms underlying host responses to Dengue virus (DENV-2) and Zika virus (ZIKV) in neural progenitor cells remain poorly understood. In this study, we first...
