Journal ArticleDOI
Convolutional neural network for simultaneous prediction of several soil properties using visible/near-infrared, mid-infrared, and their combined spectra
Wartini Ng,Budiman Minasny,Maryam Montazerolghaem,José Padarian,Richard A. Ferguson,Scarlett Bailey,Alex B. McBratney +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of a single spectrometer (visible-nearinfrared spectroscopy, vis-NIR or mid-infrared spectral data, MIR) compared to the combined spectrometers (vis-nIR and MIR), and explored the use of a deep learning model, the convolutional neural network (CNN).
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal muscle ATP turnover and muscle fiber conduction velocity are elevated at higher muscle temperatures during maximal power output development in humans
TL;DR: The greater power output obtained with passive heating was achieved through an elevated rate of anaerobic ATP turnover and MFCV, possibly due to a greater effect of temperature on power production of fibers, with a predominance of myosin heavy chain IIA at the contraction frequencies reached.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphocreatine and ATP content in human single muscle fibres before and after maximum dynamic exercise
TL;DR: The recovery of high-energy phosphate levels in single human skeletal muscle fibres following short-term maximal (all-out) exercise was investigated and fibres were analysed for adenosine 5′-triphosphate, inosine-5′-monophosphate (IMP) and phosphocreatine (PCr) levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial blood pressure and forearm vascular conductance responses to sustained and rhythmic isometric exercise and arterial occlusion in trained rock climbers and untrained sedentary subjects
TL;DR: The attenuated BP response to sustained isometric exercise could be due in part to enhanced forearm vasodilatory capacity, which also supports greater endurance during rhythmic exercise by permitting greater functional hyperaemia in between contraction phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
ATP and heat production in human skeletal muscle during dynamic exercise: higher efficiency of anaerobic than aerobic ATP resynthesis
TL;DR: The present data confirm the hypothesis that heat loss is lower in anaerobic ATP resynthesis than in oxidative phosphorylation and can in part explain the finding that efficiency declines markedly during dynamic exercise.
