The Effect of Hydration and Nutrition on Athlete Performance There are many factors that can influence the hydration status of athletes at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. It is important for an athlete to be well hydrated prior to exercise, as dehydration (or hypohydration) can lead to a significant decrease in performance and can increase the risk of heat illness.
A New Technique for Separating Complex Mixtures - 2D Liquid Chromatography In early 2014, SelectScience ran a 2D Chromatography survey among leading scientists to gauge usage and experience of this technique. The separation of unknown complex mixtures is time-consuming and a challenge for most scientists. Multi-dimensional chromatography provides a solution to this conundrum by combining fast and efficient separation using different techniques in the same chromatographic run. Revolutionary Nanoparticle Based Drug Delivery – Targeted Cancer Therapeutics Interview Scientists have recently developed nanoparticles that deliver one or two chemotherapy drugs, but it has been difficult to design particles that can carry any more than that in a precise ratio.
