Perceptions of females participating in a perceived ‘masculine sport’ : dragon boat by Vijaikumar Rangabashayam

“…Nevertheless, stereotyping of women, particularly in areas such as Sport, still exists today. Therefore, the perceptions of female athletes participating in a perceived ‘masculine’ sport - Dragon Boat, will be examined by determining the effects of gender (male vs. female) and athletic identity (athlete vs. non-athlete) on these perceptions. …”

A 1.3-micrometre-thick elastic conductor for seamless on-skin and implantable sensors by Jiang, Zhi, Chen, Nuan, Yi, Zhigao, Zhong, Junwen, Zhang, Feilong, Ji, Shaobo, Liao, Rui, Wang, Yan, Li, Haicheng, Liu, Zhihua, Wang, Yang, Yokota, Tomoyuki, Liu, Xiaogang, Fukuda, Kenjiro, Chen, Xiaodong, Someya, Takao

“…Here we report polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–gold conductors that are around 1.3 µm thick and have a controlled morphology of microcracks in the gold film. The microcracks are formed by evaporating a 50-nm-thick gold film onto a 1.2-µm-thick PDMS film that is supported during fabrication by a 100-µm-thick PDMS film on glass; thermal expansion of the thick PDMS film causes the evaporated gold to form a microcracked structure on the thin PDMS. …”
