Dual-Source Optimization of the “Diverting Water from the Yangtze River to Tai Lake (DWYRTL)” Project Based on the Euler Method by Ruichen Xu, Yong Pang, Zhibing Hu, John Paul Kaisam

“…The results show that (1) it is recommended that the total annual diversion of water should not exceed 20 × 108 m3; (2) the wind field is the most important factor determining the distribution of spatial water exchange; (3) under wind-free conditions, the flow rate of a single-source diversion of water is approximately 50% higher than that of dual-source diversion; and (4) water diversion under the prevailing conditions of the northwest wind in winter will reduce the semiexchange period of the eastern part of the lake area from 50 to 30 days, significantly changing the nearby district’s uniformity, leading to ecological risks. …”

The Relationship between Climbing Ability and Physiological Responses to Rock Climbing by Jiří Baláš, Michaela Panáčková, Barbora Strejcová, Andrew J. Martin, Darryl J. Cochrane, Miloš Kaláb, Jan Kodejška, Nick Draper

“…Mean oxygen consumption and heart rate (HR) increased with wall inclination and climbers reached a mean (±SD) peak V˙O2 of 40.3 ± 3.5 mL·kg−1·min−1 during the maximal test. Self-reported climbing ability was negatively correlated with V˙O2 and HR during the submaximal test at 90° (V˙O2, r=−0.82; HR, and r=−0.66) and at 105° (V˙O2, r=−0.84; HR, and r=−0.78) suggesting an increased exercise economy for climbers with a higher ability level. …”
