Summary: In this paper, an energy optimal controller is designed and detailed sensitivity analyses are performed. The superiority of the energy optimal controller is verified through tests in different road conditions, and a skidding compensation logic is proposed. The study shows that the energy optimal controller is not sensitive to changes in mass and its distribution, and performs significantly well when charging capability is limited.

Summary: This study investigated the cardiorespiratory responses of highly trained runners in outdoor downhill and uphill time-trials and explored the determinants of downhill and uphill performance. Results showed that both downhill and uphill performances are well explained by three independent predictors, with one specific predictor for each type of performance.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between energy cost of running at different slopes and speeds, as well as the influence of lower limb strength on energy cost. The results showed that energy cost was correlated with muscle strength and different slopes, with the optimal downhill grade varying across speeds.

Summary: This study examined the development and decline of performance adaptations resulting from an uphill-downhill training program. The results showed that uphill-downhill training significantly improved maximal running speed, stride rate, and knee extensors' maximum isometric force. The study also found that the training effects were maintained even after a detraining period. Therefore, this training method is highly beneficial for athletes requiring fast adaptations.

Summary: Researchers have developed a sensitivity-based mathematical model for predicting traffic congestion on uphill and downhill highways. The model utilizes an ordinary differential equation and machine learning approach, providing accurate results. The reliability and stability of the model are evaluated using various indicators and statistical terms, and a graphical analysis is also presented for better visualization of the traffic flow and congestion.

Summary: In this study, we tested whether rodents prefer to descend or ascend when given the choice. We found that all tested rodent species displayed a preference to descend, possibly due to attraction to the ground and the role of gravitaxis in spatial behavior.

Summary: This study highlights the significance of molecular energy level offsets in driving photoinduced charge transfer in organic solar cells. By utilizing energy-resolved electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, various donor-acceptor combinations were analyzed, leading to insights into charge generation mechanisms and factors influencing molecular energy level alignment.

Summary: This research investigates the movement characteristics of pedestrians on a ramp and proposes a step-based model to simulate their movement. The experimental results show that the average speed uphill and downhill is lower than on flat surfaces, and the critical densities at which the speed begins to decrease are slightly higher on slopes. The proposed model successfully reproduces the pedestrian's walking behavior on the ramp.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between pacing strategy and performance during uphill and downhill running. The results suggest that energy distribution is associated with participants' race finish times, and overly aggressive uphill pacing may lead to worse performance.

Summary: Pre-exercise hydrogen-rich water supplementation improves repeated sprint performance, especially in the later stages, by reducing fatigue. However, there is no significant difference in lactate concentrations and ratings of perceived exertion.

Summary: The introduction of the needle muscle biopsy technique in the 1960s revolutionized the study of muscle tissue in exercising humans. The role of muscle glycogen content and blood glucose concentration in fatigue during prolonged exercise is still a matter of debate.

Summary: The World Health Organization (WHO) has established a public research agenda to address the issue of infodemics, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. They aim to flag illegitimate narratives and prevent the spread of misinformation that can have negative health and societal impacts. Researchers analyze the division of knowledge labor to understand the emergence of "post-truth" moments.
