As ascent requires two to three times the energy expenditure of descent, increased stair climbing is the preferred public health goal [ 5, 6].
One of the best known of all mountaineering accidents, this event is recorded in Whymper's Scrambles Amongst the Alps (1871; condensed as Ascent of the Matterhorn, 1879), which is illustrated with his own engravings.
One would think that the development of man from a sponge, or a spore, or a polyp, should be styled as ascent rather than descent.
Highly permeable fracture and fault zones in granites are used as ascent channels and flow paths by deep hot saline crystalline basement waters.
During the initial balloon ascent (denoted as ascent A1) to about 5.35 km, the UAV was attached to the balloon and therefore there is no valid turbulence data from the turbulence sensors, although PTU data are available for this segment.
We analyzed the curve integrals expressed as arbitrary units (aU) of hypoxic (INThypo) and hyperoxic (INThyper) ptiO2 responses, and assessed the portions from start at baseline to minimum as descent integral (descINThypo) and to maximum as ascent integral (ascINThyper), respectively.
