Owing to its large bandwidth, we identify layered semiconducting antiferromagnet CrPS4 as an ideal candidate to realize field‐effect transistors based on 2D magnetic materials. Low‐temperature measurements exhibit a gate‐tunable magnetoconductance exceeding 5000%, as well as the ability to continuously tune electrostatically the boundaries between ...

Energetics and fuel use vary with migration strategy across populations of Common Blackbirds
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seasonal migration is a physiologically demanding endeavour that animals prepare for by finding and storing energy. Species and populations vary in their tendencies to migrate and the energetic demands of migration likely determine the degree and type of preparation ...

Human Physiological Responses to a Single Deep Helium-Oxygen Diving
Objective: The objective of this study was to explore whether a single deep helium-oxygen (heliox) dive affects physiological function.Methods: A total of 40 male divers performed an open-water heliox dive to 80 m of seawater (msw). The total diving time

Heliox in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
To determine if breathing helium oxygen mixtures in addition to conventional therapy in non-intubated adult chronic obstructive airways disease (COPD) patients reduces the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Paco(2)) more than conventional treatment alone, and confers an advantage in terms of the odds of intubation in the acute setting.Meta ...

The effect of inhaled heliox on peak flow rates in normal and brachycephalic dogs
Background Heliox, a mixture of helium and oxygen, alleviates airway obstruction in people and improves air flow, and its use has been proposed in dogs.

Heliox inhalation therapy for bronchiolitis in infants
Acute viral bronchiolitis is associated with airway obstruction and turbulent gas flow. Heliox, a mixture of oxygen and the inert gas helium, may improve gas flow through high-resistance airways and decrease the work of breathing.To assess heliox in addition to standard medical care for acute bronchiolitis in infants.We searched the Cochrane Central ...

Effects of Heliox in Stable COPD Patients at Rest and during Exercise
Heliox has been administered to stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients at rest and during exercise on the assumption that this low density mixture would have reduced work of breathing, dynamic hyperinflation, and, consequently ...
