Background: The twofold aim of the study was to: 1) compare the gas exchange threshold (GET), the first oxyhemoglobin inflection point ([O2Hb]-T), and perceptual threshold as determined during an incremental exercise test, and 2) investigate the link between each threshold and time-to-exhaustion during heavy intensity exercise.
Methods: Fourteen competitive cyclists performed an incremental exercise test to exhaustion on a cycloergometer to determine the different thresholds and peak workload (Wpeak). The participants then performed a sub-maximal constant workload test (90% Wpeak) to exhaustion to determine time-to-exhaustion. The thresholds were identified from: 1) the first breakpoint in the oxygen uptake vs. carbon dioxide output curve (GET), 2) the [O2Hb]-T, and 3) a rating of 13 in perceived exertion (perceptual threshold: RPE13-T).
Results: Oxygen uptake at the different thresholds was not significantly different (P>0.05). Moreover, GET and [O2Hb]-T were significantly correlated: 1) to each other (r≥0.79; P≤0.001), and 2) to time-to-exhaustion (r=0.81 and r=0.72, respectively; P<0.01). RPE13-T, however, was not significantly correlated with the time-to-exhaustion (P=0.148).
Conclusions: The anaerobic threshold as identified from GET was concomitant to [O2Hb]-T. Both thresholds were correlated to time-to-exhaustion, and could therefore be used as a performance index in middle-duration events.

Article Synopsis
- Low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) need very pure hydrogen gas because they are highly sensitive to carbon monoxide (CO) contamination.
- A surface modification technique was developed, applying a 0.5-0.91 nm amorphous carbon nitride layer on PtRu/C substrates, improving hydrogen transport while blocking CO diffusion.
- This modification significantly reduces CO adsorption, maintaining stable catalyst operation for over 20 hours even with high CO levels (1000 ppm), and allows stable performance in PEMFCs with CO concentrations up to 10 ppm, surpassing the standard limit of 0.2 ppm.
Identification of the G(3900) Structure as the P-Wave DD[over ¯]^{*}/D[over ¯]D^{*} Resonance.

School of Physics and Center of High Energy Physics, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China.
The BESIII Collaboration recently performed a precise measurement of the e^{+}e^{-}→DD[over ¯] Born cross sections, and confirmed the G(3900) structure reported by BABAR and Belle with high significance. We identify the G(3900) as the first P-wave DD[over ¯]^{*}/D[over ¯]D^{*} molecular resonance. The experimental and theoretical identification of the P-wave dimeson state holds paramount importance in enhancing our comprehension of the nonperturbative QCD and few-body physics.

Background: There is a growing focus on using various plant-derived agricultural by-products to increase the benefits of pig farming, but these feedstuffs are fibrous in nature. This study investigated the relationship between dietary fiber physicochemical properties and feedstuff fermentation characteristics and their effects on nutrient utilization, energy metabolism, and gut microbiota in growing pigs.

Hypoxia traits imprinted in otolith δC from individual to global scales.
Sci Rep

Department of Geosciences, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, 08540, USA.
Hypoxia tolerance and its variation with temperature, activity, and body mass, are critical ecophysiological traits through which climate impacts marine ectotherms. To date, experimental determination of these traits is limited to a small subset of modern species. We leverage the close coupling of carbon and oxygen in animal metabolism to mechanistically relate these traits to the carbon isotopes in fish otoliths (δC).

Purpose: In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treated with chronic non-invasive ventilation (NIV), the relation between improvements in nocturnal transcutaneous partial pressure of CO (PtcCO) and daytime arterial partial pressure of CO (PaCO) remains uncertain. Also, to what extent improvements in nocturnal PtcCO result in better health-related quality of life (HRQL), exercise capacity, lung function and survival has not been investigated.
Patients And Methods: Patients with COPD who were initiated on chronic NIV were prospectively followed for 6 months.
