We present an animal model used to evaluate the in Water Pumps vivo performance of electrochemical amperometric continuous lactate sensors compared to blood gas instruments.Electrochemical lactate sensors were fabricated, placed into 5 Fr central venous catheters (CVCs), and paired with wireless potentiostat devices.Following in vivo evaluation and
This paper is an introduction to a special issue of the Journal of Political Ecology on "Ecologies of Hope." The authors argue that discrete, specific, and often, local actions can create spaces that are bettering human lives and livelihoods.The five papers identify actions and movements that are situated in the "middle" between the individual and
There is empirical evidence of many diversified ways for energy to be acquired and allocated to reproduction, notably with strategies ranging from strict income breeding (females fueling their gametes with energy gained concomitantly during reproduction) to strict capital breeding (females storing nutrients prior reproduction).Until now, the questi
Huntington disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative movement disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene (HTT).The mutant huntingtin protein is ubiquitously expressed, but only certain brain regions are affected.The hypothalamus has emerged as an important area of pathology with selective loss of neurons expressing the neurope
The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ) was revised to its third iteration (BREQ-3) and has been widely used to measure different types of exercise motivation, including amotivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, integrated regulation, and intrinsic motivation.However, the Chinese version has
