Cover Story: Unlike single joint exercise, whole-body exercise incorporates multiple muscle groups and better imitates real-life sporting competitions (e.g., cycling time trials). It has been extensively reported that fatigue, whether due to peripheral or central factors, is one of the main factors contributing to the cessation of exercise. The impact of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on exercise performance is one such method that has gained much research interest over the past few years. In addition to physical demands, exercise performance also requires great mental effort. Here, we investigate the effects of tDCS on cycling time trial performance and explore if any changes are associated with prefrontal cortex and muscle oxygenation. View this paper

We outline and test a new methodology for genuine simulation of stochastic processes with any dependence structure and any marginal distribution. We reproduce time dependence with a generalized, time symmetric or asymmetric, moving-average scheme. Th...

There is a growing need for novel in vitro corneal models to replace animal-based ex vivo tests in drug permeability studies. In this study, we demonstrated a corneal mimetic that models the stromal and epithelial compartments of the human cornea. Hu...
