Development and Validation of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model With Thermosphere and Ionosphere Extension (WACCM‐X 2.0)

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018
Key developments have been made to the NCAR Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere and ionosphere extension (WACCM‐X). Among them, the most important are the self‐consistent solution of global electrodynamics, and transport of O+ in ...

Athletes at altitude [PDF]

The Journal of Physiology, 1967
1. Six international middle‐distance runners were investigated during 4 weeks in England and during a similar period in Mexico City (2270 m (7450 ft.))2. In 3‐mile (4828 m) time trials at 2270 m the increase in time taken by four subjects compared with sea level was 8·5% on the 4th day and 5·7% on the 29th day.

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Activation of notch signaling pathway is a potential mechanism for mucin2 reduction and intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction in high-altitude hypoxia

Scientific Reports
High-altitude hypoxia can cause gastrointestinal issues and damage the intestinal mucosal barrier, which is crucial for digestion and nutrient absorption. The Notch signaling pathway affects this barrier’s integrity. This study explores the Notch pathway’

Remote ischemic preconditioning improves cognitive control in healthy adults: Evidence from an event-related potential study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
It is suggested that remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) may be a promising treatment for improving healthy adults’ cognitive control. However, direct empirical evidence was absent. Therefore, this study aims to provide evidence for the impact of RIPC
