Article Abstract
The widely used theory for gas exchange proposed by von Caemmerer and Farquhar (vCF) integrates molar fluxes, mole fraction gradients and ternary effects but does not account for cuticular fluxes, for separation of the leaf surface conditions or for ternary effects within the boundary layer. The magnitude of cuticular conductance to water (g) is a key factor for determining plant survival in drought but is difficult to measure and often neglected in routine gas exchange studies. The vCF ternary effect is applied to the total flux without the recognition of different pathways that are affected by it. These simplifications lead to errors in estimations of stomatal conductance, intercellular carbon dioxide concentration (C) and other gas exchange parameters. The theory presented here is a more precise physical approach to the electrical resistance analogy for gas exchange, resulting in a more accurate calculation of gas exchange parameters. Additionally, we extend our theory, using physiological concepts, to create a model that allows us to calculate cuticular conductance to water.

HO and CO Sorption in Ion-Exchange Sorbents: Distinct Interactions in Amine Versus Quaternary Ammonium Materials.

This study investigates the HO and CO sorption behavior of two chemically distinct polystyrene-divinylbenzene-based ion exchange sorbents: a primary amine and a permanently charged strong base quaternary ammonium (QA) group with (bi)carbonate counter anions. We compare their distinct interactions with HO and CO through simultaneous thermal gravimetric, calorimetric, gas analysis, and molecular modeling approaches to evaluate their performance for dilute CO separations like direct air capture. Thermal and hybrid (heat + low-temperature hydration) desorption experiments demonstrate that the QA-based sorbent binds both water and CO more strongly than the amine counterparts but undergoes degradation at moderate temperatures, limiting its compatibility with thermal swing regeneration.

3D printing, as a versatile additive manufacturing technique, offers high design flexibility, rapid prototyping, minimal material waste, and the capability to fabricate complex, customized geometries. These attributes make it particularly well-suited for low-temperature hydrogen electrochemical conversion devices-specifically, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, proton exchange membrane electrolyzer cells, anion exchange membrane electrolyzer cells, and alkaline electrolyzers-which demand finely structured components such as catalyst layers, gas diffusion layers, electrodes, porous transport layers, and bipolar plates. This review provides a focused and critical summary of the current progress in applying 3D printing technologies to these key components.

Drought has a major impact on crop yields. Silicon (Si) application has been proposed to improve drought resilience via several mechanisms including modifying the level of stomatal gas exchange. However, the impact of Si on transpiration and stomatal conductance varies between studies.

Traditional studies of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) have focused on alveolar epithelial cells injury and abnormal myofibroblast aggregation, but recent studies have revealed that imbalances in pulmonary capillary homeostasis also play pivotal roles in this disease. The pulmonary microvasculature, composed of aerocyte capillary (aCap) and general capillary (gCap) endothelial cells, forms the core structure of the alveolar-capillary membrane. It performs key roles in gas exchange and nutrient/metabolite transport, while modulating the trafficking of inflammatory factors and immune cells and regulating alveolar damage repair.

Background: Stroke is a common acute cerebrovascular disease, and rehabilitation therapy plays a crucial role in the recovery of stroke patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we first enrolled 80 stroke patients. These participants were then randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group underwent finger acupressure combined with lower limb rehabilitation training machine, and the control group received basic rehabilitation therapy.
