Purpose: Maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) is the highest exercise intensity at which blood lactate concentration (HLa) remains stable. In this study, we examined the validity of simulated 5-km and 40-km time trials (TT) as methods for estimating average speed at MLSS in cyclists.
Methods: Nine trained cyclists reported to the laboratory for five to seven exercise trials. Testing included a VO2max test, a simulated 5-km and 40-km TT, and several 30-min MLSS trials.
Results: Mean VO2peak was 4.42 +/- 0.13 L.min-1, whereas VO2 at MLSS (N = 8) was 3.54 +/- 0.15 L.min-1, representing 80.1 +/- 4.1% of VO2peak. HR and HLa at MLSS were 174.7 +/- 2.6 b.min-1 and 6.9 +/- 0.8 mM, respectively. MLSS speed was 36.8 +/- 1.0 km.h-1, which corresponded to 92.1 +/- 1.2% of 5 km average speed (AVS5km). Mean AVS, HLa, and HR during the 40-km TT were 36.6 +/- 0.9 km.h-1, 6.3 +/- 0.7 mM, and 174.1 +/- 2.1 b.min-1, respectively, and did not differ from those at MLSS.
Conclusions: Both the (simulated) 5-km and 40-km TT can be used to estimate the MLSS in cyclists. In addition, HLa at MLSS shows a large degree of variation between riders.

In the context of global warming and intensified human activities, the loss and fragmentation of species habitats have been exacerbated. In order to clarify the trends in the current and future suitable wintering areas for hooded cranes (), the MaxEnt model was applied to predict the distribution patterns and trends of hooded cranes based on 94 occurrence records and 23 environmental variables during the wintering periods from 2015 to 2024. The results indicated the following.

Results from applying an advanced spatial-unfolding technique to outdoor-trial data acquired with a Silicon photomultiplier-based Compton Telescope for Safety and Security (SCoTSS) gamma imager during perimeter survey of a distributed La-140 source lying within a 500 m x 500 m exclusion zone are presented. A synthetic-data version of the experiment was also modelled using Monte Carlo simulations and reconstructed. For both experimental and synthetic data the method faithfully reproduces the shape of the activity distribution, and for synthetic data the total activity is reproduced as well.

Water temperature is a fundamental driver of physical processes, metabolic rates, and habitat availability in fluvial systems. As anthropogenic activities and climate change increase river temperatures and associated thermal stress on aquatic organisms, river restoration has focused on moderating thermal regimes and creating localized cold-water refuges. Restoration of a 2.

There are gaps in our understanding of sturgeon's response to anthropogenic sounds and the spatial scales at which they occur. We measured spatial displacement of Atlantic sturgeon in the St. Lawrence River at various distances of approaching merchant ships.

Macroscale superlubricity has attracted considerable attention as a promising strategy to minimize frictional energy dissipation and achieve near-zero wear. However, realizing macroscale superlubricity with prolonged durability remains an immense challenge, particularly on engineering steels. Current superlubricants render steel surfaces susceptible to corrosion, causing severe wear and superlubrication failure.
