Multi-channel EMG manifestations of upper-extremity muscle coordination imbalance among community-dwelling sarcopenic seniors by Haoru He, Xiaochu Wu, Na Li, Yi Jiang, Jiayuan He, Ning Jiang

“…One of the hallmarks of sarcopenia is the pathological changes of muscle fiber type composition and motor unit firing patterns. Surface electromyography (sEMG) may serve as an effective tool for detecting differences between healthy and sarcopenic individuals due to its superior wearability and accessibility compared to other screening methods such as medical imaging and bioimpedance measurements, making it ideal for community-based sarcopenic screening. …”

Adsorption-induced negative carbon isotope sequence in over-mature coal-type gas from the southwest Ordos Basin by Xiaoming Wu, Qiang Meng, Haiwei Zhu, Heng Zhao, Yu Xiao, Zhuo Guo, Mengting Zhang, Liyu Liu, Luxing Dou, Zhigang Wen

“…Heavier hydrocarbon gases (e.g., ethane), with lighter carbon isotope signatures, preferentially desorb, resulting in a relatively light observed carbon isotope composition. Owing to its high abundance, the isotopic composition of methane is impacted relatively little by adsorption. (2) The anomalous geochemical characteristics of over-mature coal-type gas result in the failure of the negative carbon isotope sequence method for identifying inorganic gas; this also invalidates the criterion for classifying oil-type gas and coal-type gas based on thresholds of δ 13C2 = − 28‰ and δ 13C3 = − 25‰. …”
