Tables, Factors, and Formulas for Computing Respiratory Exchange and Biological Transformations of Energy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Tables, Factors, and Formulas for Computing Respiratory Exchange and Biological Transformations of Energy The number of investigators in the total metabolism of matter and transformations of energy in man, animals, and plants is rapidly increasing, as well as the number of individuals (principally clini eiaus) who are making practical applications of the methods used and the results obtained in these fields. The apparatus used and the methods of calculation applied necessitate frequently the use of tables and conversion factors. The tables most used are those in connection with the measurements of respiratory exchange, the reduction of gas volumes to standard conditions, computation of heat, and the standards of normal metabolism. At present these are published in various places and no adequate compilation of them exists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
