Traditional allometric analysis fails to provide a valid predictive model for mammalian metabolic rates.
The field of biological allometry was energized by the publication in 1997 of a theoretical model purporting to explain 3/4-power scaling of metabolic rate with body mass in mammals. This 3/4-power scaling exponent, which was first reported by Max Kleiber in 1932, has been derived repeatedly in empirical research by independent investigators and has come to be known as 'Kleiber's Law'. The expo...
متن کاملProvide a Predictive Model to Identify People with Diabetes Using the Decision Tree
Background: Today, in most hospitals in Iran, there is an extensive database of patient characteristics that includes a large amount of information related to medical, family and medical records. Finding a knowledge model of this information can help to predict the performance of the medical system and improve educational processes. Methods: Data mining techniques are analytical tools that are...
متن کاملQuantum metabolism explains the allometric scaling of metabolic rates.
A general model explaining the origin of allometric laws of physiology is proposed based on coupled energy-transducing oscillator networks embedded in a physical d-dimensional space (d = 1, 2, 3). This approach integrates Mitchell's theory of chemi-osmosis with the Debye model of the thermal properties of solids. We derive a scaling rule that relates the energy generated by redox reactions in c...
متن کاملStudying indicators of traditional architecture of Shiraz houses in order to provide a suitable model for contemporary housing design in order to use clean energy
rchitecture is always influenced by various indicators, the most important of which are climatic and physical-spatial indicators. These indicators are well observed in traditional homes and have played an important role in the use of clean energy. In this study, the aim is to study the climatic and spatial indicators of traditional architecture of Shiraz houses in order to provide a suitable mo...
