Variation Among Gross Energy Values Measured by Two Modes of Adiabatic Oxygen Bomb Calorimetry

Energy Expenditure Measured by Indirect Calorimetry in Obesity

Mika Horie et al [2] demonstrated that obese women had higher total energy expenditure (TEE), compared with normal weight. However, this increase may be due to increased basal metabolic rate (BMR) due to higher fat-free mass (FFM) and energy demand during physical activity. However, Melo et al [3] found that obese individuals are economical, the metabolic point of view. Therefore, the energy ex...

Adiabatic Reaction Calorimetry

Basal energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.

BACKGROUND Determination of Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE) is essential for planning nutritional therapy in patients with esophageal cancer. AIMS The objective of this study was to determine BEE through indirect calorimetry (IC) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (SCC). METHODS Cross-sectional study involving 30 patients admitted with a diagnosis of SCC who underwent ...

An improved method for preparation of feces for bomb calorimetry.

was standardized before no. 1 and between the two no. 10 samples. The time required when the Auto Dilutor was used was: 3 mm to assemble equipment, 2.5 mm to label flasks, 9 mn to dilute standard and samples, and 8 mm to take readings. The on-line system only took 8 mm to run the standards and samples, saving 14.5 mm for the 10 duplicated determinations. No flasks are needed when an on-line dil...

Adiabatic Modes in Cosmology

We show that the field equations for cosmological perturbations in Newtonian gauge always have an adiabatic solution, for which a quantity R is non-zero and constant in all eras in the limit of large wavelength, so that it can be used to connect observed cosmological fluctuations in this mode with those at very early times. There is also a second adiabatic mode, for which R vanishes for large w...
