The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) and Lower Limb Power Profiles in Elite Rugby Union Players by Stephen Rowell, Nicola Relph

“…Participants scoring moderate to poor in the LESS recorded significantly higher power and reactive strength index, increased contact time but not jump height. This suggests participants with high-risk landing biomechanics may also produce higher performance measures, but these do not necessarily result in an improved jump height.…”

Screen-printed Carbon Electrode from Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Modified with Ferrocene for Cobalt Detection by Muhammad Farhan, Eddy Heraldy, Abu Masykur, Muhammad A. Munir, Fitria Rahmawati

“…It was mixed with acetylene black (AB) and poly (vinylidene) Fluoride (PVDF) at the mass ratio of 7:2:1 for the Ac, AB, and PVDF, respectively, followed by a dispersing with N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidinone (NMP) producing carbon slurry that was painted on a SPCE template. To increase electrochemical sensitivity, ferrocene, Fc was dropped onto the working electrode part at 10%, 20%, and 30% of the total SPCE mass. …”
