Fueling for Performance

Fueling strategies to optimize performance: training high or training low?

Availability of carbohydrate as a substrate for the muscle and central nervous system is critical for the performance of both intermittent high-intensity work and prolonged aerobic exercise. Therefore, strategies that promote carbohydrate availability, such as ingesting carbohydrate before, during and after exercise, are critical for the performance of many sports and a key component of current...

Fueling Synapses

The transmission of information across neuronal synapses is an energetically taxing business. Sheng and colleagues monitored the localization of mitochondria following different levels of synaptic activation and discovered that these organelles change their distribution in interesting ways, stalling near synapses when neurons are activated and increasing their movement when neurons are silent (...

Cost and Performance Comparison Of Stationary Hydrogen Fueling Appliances

This work was funded by the Hydrogen Program Office of the U.S. Department of Energy under Grant No. DE-FG01-99EE35099 and represents the second task of three to be completed under this contract. The first task presented a broad overview of the costs for creating infrastructures to supply direct hydrogen, methanol, and gasoline to support fuel cell vehicles (FCV’s). A conclusion of the report r...

Fueling innovation.

COVER A circulator for sound. The arrows represent acoustic signals fl owing through the device (diameter: ~20 centimeters), which circulates sound in a nonreciprocal fashion: Signals can fl ow from left to top, from top to right, and from right to left, but not in the opposite directions. This creates one-way communication channels for sound, allowing listeners to hear but not be heard in retu...
