[Purpose] Physical inactivity behavior at middle age or older is a major risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. However, the effects of levels of habitual physical activity on arterial …

Objective. Arthritis and its associated joint pain act as significant barriers for adults attempting
to perform land-based physical activity. Swimming can be an ideal form of exercise for …

We report metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxial growth and structural and photoluminescent
characteristics of ZnO nanorods. The nanorods were grown on Al2O3 (00• 1) substrates at …

This paper presents a review of current research activities on ZnO nanorods (or nanowires).
We begin this paper with a variety of physical and chemical methods that have been used to …

Silicon is a promising candidate for electrodes in lithium ion batteries due to its large theoretical
energy density. Poor capacity retention, caused by pulverization of Si during cycling, …

Electroluminescent (EL) devices (see Figure) have been fabricated using n‐ZnO nanorod
arrays grown on p‐GaN epilayers. Simple heteroepitaxial growth yields vertically aligned ZnO …

We demonstrated the hypothesis that combined exercise improves body composition,
cardiometabolic risk factors, blood pressure (BP), arterial stiffness, and physical functions, in …

Catalyst‐free metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is used to prepare ZnO
nanoneedles, grown vertically on Si substrates. Electron microscopy reveals that the …

The palmar pinch force estimation is highly relevant not only in biomechanical studies, the
analysis of sports activities, and ergonomic design analyses but also in clinical applications …

Highly efficient photocatalytic ZnO nanoneedle arrays with a large surface/volume ratio
were prepared on inexpensive, large-area substrates using metal-organic chemical vapor …
