چکیده
WITHERS, PHILIP C. Measurement of Vo,, &02, and evaporative water loss with a flow-through mask. J. Appl. Physiol.: Respirat. Environ. Exercise Physiol. 42(l): 120-123, 1977. Equations for the calculation of vo2, vcoZ, and evaporative water loss were derived for use of a paramagnetic gas analyzer with a flow-through respirometry system and an open or closed mask. The magnitude of errors involved in the determination of vo, with no CO2 absorbent are small (+3%) but may be greater if no H,O absorbent is used, unless an appropriate correction is made for evaporative water loss. Data collected for hummingbirds (Selasphorus sasin) and monitor lizards (Varanus gouldii) indicate the validity of the technics described for the measurement of RQ and evaporative water loss and demonstrate the use of paramagnetic gas analyzers in monitoring respiratory patterns.

متن کاملWater economy of three Cinclodes (Furnariidae) species inhabiting marine and freshwater ecosystems
Birds living in desert environments have been the preferred models for the study of physiological adaptations to water scarcity. Passerine birds living in marine coastal habitats face similar problems, yet physiological adaptations to water conservation in such species have been poorly documented. We measured total evaporative water loss (TEWL) and rates of oxygen consumption (VO2) in three spe...
متن کاملAesthetically-Textured, Hard Latex Coatings by Fast IR-Assisted Evaporative Lithography
Polymer coatings with periodic topographic patterns, repeating over millimetre length scales, can be created from lateral flows in an aqueous dispersion of colloidal particles. The flow is driven by differences in evaporation rate across the wet film surface created by IR radiative heating through a shadow mask. This new process, which we call IR radiation-assisted evaporative lithography (IRAE...
متن کاملTemperature effects on metabolism, ventilation, and oxygen extraction in a Neotropical bat.
We examined the relationship between ambient temperature (Ta), body temperature (Tb), oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), evaporative water loss (mH2O), respiratory frequency (f), tidal volume (VT), minute volume (VI), and oxygen extraction (EO2) in the Neotropical bat Noctilio albiventris (mean mass 40 g). The factorial aerobic scope was 7.2 between Ta of 1-35 degrees C...
متن کاملEffect of sampling regime on estimation of basal metabolic rate and standard evaporative water loss using flow-through respirometry.
Strict criteria have been established for measurement of basal metabolic rate and standard evaporative water loss to ensure that data can be compared intra- and interspecifically. However, data-sampling regimes vary, from essentially continuous sampling to interrupted (switching) systems with data recorded periodically at more widely spaced intervals. Here we compare one continuous and three in...
