Plastron Respiration Using Commercial Fabrics [PDF]
A variety of insect and arachnid species are able to remain submerged in water indefinitely using plastron respiration. A plastron is a surface-retained film of air produced by surface morphology that acts as an oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange surface ...

From Lung to Brain - Respiration Modulates Neural and Mental Activity
Respiration sustains metabolic activity in all organs, including the brain. Respiration protocols have been developed to manipulate mental states, including their use for therapeutic purposes, e.g., in anxiety disorders.

Bomb-14C analysis of ecosystem respiration reveals that peatland vegetation facilitates release of old carbon [PDF]
The largest terrestrial-to-atmosphere carbon flux is respired CO2. However, the partitioning of soil and plant sources, understanding of contributory mechanisms, and their response to climate change are uncertain.

Nicotinamide riboside alleviates exercise intolerance in ANT1-deficient mice
Objective: Mitochondrial disorders are often characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue. Null mutations in the heart-muscle adenine nucleotide translocator isoform 1 (ANT1) of both humans and mice cause cardiomyopathy and myopathy associated with ...

Respiration in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones of the oceans [PDF]
This chapter reviews the mechanisms of transport and remineralization of organic matter in the dark water-columns and sediments of the oceans. Different approaches to estimating respiration rates are compared, and the discrepancies obtained by different ...

Comparison of different objective functions for parameterization of simple respiration models [PDF]
The eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide fluxes collected around the world offer a rich source for detailed data analysis. Simple, aggregated models are attractive tools for gap filling, budget calculation, and upscaling in space and time.

Characteristics of stem respiration in black spruce (Picea mariana) stand, interior Alaska
Boreal forests account for roughly one third of the carbon sequestered in terrestrial ecosystems, and the high-latitude boreal ecosystem they make up has been consequently vulnerable to recent climate change.
