This study first aimed to compare critical power (CP) and anaerobic work capacity (AWC), to laboratory standard evaluation methods such as maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2)max) and maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD). Secondly, this study compared child and adult CP and AWC values. Subjects performed a maximal graded test to determine VO(2)max and maximal aerobic power (MAP); and four constant load exercises. In children, CP (W * kg(-1)) was related to VO(2)max (ml * kg(-1) * min(-1); r = .68; p = .004). AWC (J * kg(-1) in children was related to MAOD (r = .58; p = .018). Children presented lower AWC (J * kg(-1); p = .001) than adults, but similar CP (%MAP) values. CP (%MAP and W * kg(-1) and AWC (J * kg(-1) were significantly related to laboratory standard evaluation methods but low correlation indicated that they cannot be used interchangeably. CP (%MAP) was similar in children and adults, but AWC (J * kg(-1) was significantly lower in children. These conclusions support existing knowledge related to child-adults characteristics.

Food-energy‑carbon nexus of Himalayan okra-pea cropping system: Impacts of AM-fungi, precision phosphorus and irrigation regimes in an acid Alfisol.

Conventional farming practices are energy and carbon-intensive. Low-cost technologies like AM-fungi (AMF) and precision P-management vis-à-vis precision irrigation-scheduling may enhance P-bioavailability, and crop- and water-productivity with reduced energy and carbon-footprints in acid-Alfisol of north-western Himalayas. Hence, an experiment was done in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus)-pea (Pisum sativum) cropping system (OPCS) using AMF (Glomus mosseae) at three inorganic-P levels (50, 75 & 100 % of soil-test based P-dose) and two irrigation-regimes (40 & 80 % AWC).

Three-dimensional nanoporous activated carbon electrode derived from acacia wood for high-performance supercapacitor.

Front Chem

October 2022

Key Laboratory of Eco-Environment-Related Polymer Materials of Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials of Gansu Province, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou, China.

Herein, the novel acacia wood based hierarchical porous activated carbons (AWCs) are easily prepared, low cost and have excellent characterization, such as special biomass nanopores structural stability and large specific surface areas. Activating agents such as KOH, ZnCl, and HPO have been used to convert acacia wood carbon into active carbons such as AWC-K, AWC-Z, and AWC-P, respectively, which are named after the activating agent. As a supercapacitor electrode, the AWC-K sample has a high yield was 69.

Wood carbon (WC)-derived thick electrode design has recently received increasing interest because of its high energy density at the device level. Herein, a facile, low-cost, and efficient strategy by surface engineering to synthesize ultrathick electrodes of quasi-solid-state symmetric supercapacitors (SSCs) based on activated wood-carbon (AWC) monoliths is presented. The AWC as a freestanding ultrathick electrode shows an impressive areal capacitance of 6.

Ameliorating soil acidity and physical properties of two contrasting texture Ultisols with wastewater sludge biochar.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

September 2018

Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Agricultural Resource and Environment, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, China.

The production of biochar is a safe and beneficial disposal way for wastewater sludge. The biochar produced from wastewater sludge can be used as soil amendments for improving soil properties and for increasing crop yield. This work investigated the influences of wastewater sludge biochar (WSB) on the pH, exchangeable acidity, and physical properties of strongly acidic Ultisols with contrasting texture (clayey soil and sandy loam).
