We investigated the hemodynamic determinants of the age-associated decline in maximal oxygen uptake (V(O2 max)) and the influence of gender on the decline in V(O2 max) and its determinants in old and very old men and women. Sedentary, 60- to 92-yr-old women (n = 71) and men (n = 29), with no evidence of cardiovascular disease, underwent maximal treadmill exercise tests during which V(O2 max) an...

An experiment was replicated over 2 yr to determine the effect of additional RUP and dietary fat from dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS; n = 2) or wet corn gluten feed (WCGF; n = 2) before breeding on primiparous cow reproduction and calf production. Over 2 yr, 134 postpartum, primiparous cows (429 ± 5 kg initial BW) were fed 1 of 2 isocaloric, approximately isonitrogenous diets in 1 ...

The objective of this study was to determine whether yearling bulls, when pastured with cows, reduced the duration of postpartum anestrus to the same extent as did mature bulls. This experiment was conducted over a 3-yr period. Cows were stratified by parity group to achieve 37% 2-yr-old and 63% mature (> 2-yr-old) cows within each treatment group (approximately 50 cows per treatment per year)....

Ozone (O(3)) pollution episodes take place in Catalonia (NE of the Iberian Peninsula), mainly during summertime. The complex O(3) behaviour could be understood by using a Chemical Transport Model (CTM). Emission inventories provide the spatial and temporal emissions distribution of the O(3) precursors and other pollutants required by this approach. We developed the EMICAT2000 model with high sp...

Abstract Proposed next-generation networks of gravitational-wave observatories include dedicated kilohertz instruments that target neutron star science, such as the proposed Neutron Star Extreme Matter Observatory, NEMO. The original proposal for NEMO highlighted need it to exist in a network ensure detection confidence and sky localisation sources. We show NEMO-like have significant utility on...

Reforestation in the tropics is highlighted as an important intervention to mitigate climate change globally because of its potential for high CO2 removal rates, ranging from 4.5 40.7 t CO2e ha?1 yr?1 during first 20 years tree growth. critical meeting emissions’ targets Paris Climate Agreement, well achieving Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets. Increasing carbon stock...

We present results on the search for double-electron capture ($2\nu\text{ECEC}$) of $^{124}$Xe and neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) $^{136}$Xe in XENON1T. consider captures from K- up to N-shell $2\nu\text{ECEC}$ signal model measure a total half-life $T_{1/2}^{2\nu\text{ECEC}}=(1.1\pm0.2_\text{stat}\pm0.1_\text{sys})\times 10^{22}\;\text{yr}$ with $0.87\;\text{kg}\times\tex...

In this paper, the 1978–2022 series of northern (NHSI) and southern (SHSI) hemisphere sea ice extent are submitted to singular spectral analysis (SSA). The trends quasi-linear, decreasing for NHSI (by 58,300 km2/yr) increasing SHSI 15,400 km2/yr). amplitude annual variation in Antarctic is double that Arctic. semi-annual components quadrature. first three oscillatory both SHSI, at 1, 1/2, 1/3 y...
