For it was difficult to rule out at that time that the proton expulsion by respiring mitochondria was a mere side-effect of respiration, while the energy coupling was still mediated by a chemical intermediate.
"Smartshirts can measure things like heart rate and respiration much more accurately and without having to wear another device, because they can embed more sensors across a larger area," said McIntyre.
It's better when your regard [expression] is more of a breath, your respiration.
Phosphorylation is an energy-transfer process, the energy in question being transferred from molecules known as ATP, which are the end-result of the process of respiration.
They will get worse still if the "land sink", as researchers call the plants and soils, actually goes into reverse, adding to net emissions rather than reducing them as the respiration of microbes (which increases as temperatures rise) outstrips the photosynthesis of plants.
By taking into account the sloth's lung capacity as well as the metabolism and respiration rates, the researchers concluded that a fully inverted sloth would spend 6.9% to 12.8% more energy as compared to when it is upright.
She then monitored the respiration rates in three three-fingered sloths every four hours for 172 days and tagged six more animals with accelerometers.
The shirt, now being tested by the Audi and Porsche racing-car teams, can record everything from respiration rates to a driver's precise location information that can be relayed via wireless technology.The strength of conductive fabrics is that they look and feel normal and are easy to care for.
