Terminology for describing the 24-h cycle of physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep: a scoping review

Abstract Background Physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep are three behaviours which occupy the 24-h cycle and interact to influence a multitude of health outcomes. Different terms are currently used to describe these behaviours collectively (e.g., movement behaviours...

Inverse Design of Strongly Localized Topological π Modes in One-Dimensional Nonperiodic Systems

This study investigates the spatial confinement of topological π-modes in one-dimensional chiral-symmetric systems. In conventional periodic and quasiperiodic structures, edge-mode wave functions inevitably penetrate the bulk. To suppress this, inverse design of a potential seque...
