A quantitative analysis of CO2 transport and excretion was conducted in seawater acclimated rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) swimming at different sustained swimming velocities. CO2 excretion increased linearly with cardiac output during exercise but arterial P(CO2) (Pa(CO2)) and total CO2 levels also increased indicating a diffusion limitation to CO2 excretion. The elevated Pa(CO2) was not ...

the purpose of this research is to investigate thermoeconomic optimization and exergy analysis of transcritical co2 refrigeration cycle with an ejector. after modeling thermodynamic equations of elements and considering optimization parameters of emerging temperature of gas of cooler (tgc) , emerging pressure of cooler's gas (pgc) , and evaporative temperature (tevp) , optimization of targ...

An active CO2-concentrating mechanism is induced when Chlamydomonas reinhardtii acclimates to limiting inorganic carbon (Ci), either low-CO2 (L-CO2; air level; approximately 0.04% CO2) or very low-CO2 (VL-CO2; approximately 0.01% CO2) conditions. A mutant, ad1, which is defective in the limiting-CO2-inducible, plastid-localized LCIB, can grow in high-CO2 or VL-CO2 conditions but dies in L-CO2, ...

Physiological and biomass responses of six genotypes of Populus tremuloides Michx., grown in ambient t (357 micromol mol(-1)) or twice ambient (707 micromol mol(-1)) CO2 concentration ([CO2]) and in low-N or high-N soils, were studied in 1995 and 1996 in northern Lower Michigan, USA. There was a significant CO2 x genotype interaction in photosynthetic responses. Net CO2 assimilation (A) was sig...

Injecting and storing of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep geologic formations is considered as one of the promising approaches for geologic carbon storage. Microbial wettability alteration of injected CO2 is expected to occur naturally by microorganisms indigenous to the geologic formation or microorganisms intentionally introduced to increase CO2 storage capacity in the target reservoirs. The ques...
