Synthesis and in-situ Mo microalloying of CuCr alloy by aluminothermic self-propagating reduction by Jin-ru Han, Zhi-he Dou, Ting-an Zhang, Wang An

“…Therefore, the conductivity of CuCrMo alloy is increased from 12.63 MS m−1 to 17.41 MS m−1. Based on the performance of 12 kV vacuum interrupter assembled with self-propagating CuCr contacts, it is found that compared with CuCr alloy, the insulation, chopping current and breaking performance of the interrupter are obviously improved by adding Mo.…”

Aerobic Power and Capacity in Highly Trained National-Level Youth Soccer Players Through On-Field Gas Exchange Assessment in an Ecological Context: A Brief Report by Martin Fernando Bruzzese, Gastón César García, Carlos Rodolfo Arcuri, Mauro Darío Santander, Jeremías David Secchi, José Augusto Rodrigues dos Santos, Rodrigo Zacca

“…Given the scarcity of studies on the on-field cardiorespiratory profiles of national-level athletes, especially in Argentine soccer, this study aimed to identify the on-field cardiorespiratory fitness profile of ten highly trained youth field soccer players (13.6 ± 1.3 years old) from both the first league of the Argentine Football Association and members of the national team in their age group category in the current year. Methods: Each athlete performed an on-field cardiorespiratory exercise test (20-m Shuttle Run Test, 20-m SRT) with the COSMED K5 wearable metabolic system (COSMED, Rome, Italy) in dynamic micro-mixing chamber mode. …”
