The transcutaneous partial pressures of carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) and oxygen (PtcO2) were measured with heated electrodes in 18 hemodynamically stable pediatric ICU patients and these data were compared to simultaneously measured arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions. There was a significant degree of correlation (p less than 0.001) between the skin surface CO2 and O2 and their corresponding arterial tensions. These data defined values for PtcCO2 and PtcO2 indices in the pediatric patient without cardiovascular complications as PtcCO2 index = 1.6 +/- 0.2 and the PtcO2 index = 0.84 +/- 0.18 (PtcCO2 index = PtcCO2/PaCO2 and PtcO2 index = PtcO2/PaO2). The authors found the monitoring of skin surface gases a reliable technique to monitor arterial gas tension in hemodynamically stable patients.

Diverse bacteria and archaea use atmospheric CO as an energy source for long-term survival. Bacteria use [MoCu]-CO dehydrogenases (Mo-CODH) to convert atmospheric CO to carbon dioxide, transferring the obtained electrons to the aerobic respiratory chain. However, it is unknown how these enzymes oxidize CO at low concentrations and interact with the respiratory chain.

The adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is increasingly prevalent, driven by the global initiative to conserve energy and reduce emissions. Nevertheless, CCUS has the potential to induce corrosion in equipment, particularly in high-pressure environments containing carbon dioxide (CO). Therefore, anti-corrosion protection is necessary for the metal utilized for CO production and storage equipment.

Oxygen consumption by oceanic microbes can predict respiration (CO production) but requires an assumed respiratory quotient (RQ; ΔO/ΔCO). Measured apparent RQs (ARQs) can be impacted by various processes, including nitrification and changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition, leading to discrepancies between ARQ and actual RQ. In DOM remineralization experiments conducted in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean, ARQs averaged 1.

The transportation industry contributes significantly to climate change through carbon dioxide ( ) emissions, intensifying global warming and leading to more frequent and severe weather phenomena such as flooding, drought, heat waves, glacier melting, and rising sea levels. This study proposes a comprehensive approach for predicting emissions from vehicles using deep learning techniques enhanced by eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods. Utilizing a dataset from the Canadian government's official open data portal, we explored the impact of various vehicle attributes on emissions.

Yeasts are a diverse group of unicellular fungi that have developed a wide array of phenotypes and traits over 400 million years of evolution. However, we still lack an understanding of the biological principles governing the range of cell morphologies, metabolic modes, and reproductive strategies yeasts display. In this study, we explored the relationship between cell morphology and metabolism in sixteen yeast strains across eleven species.
