Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the impact of doing mechanical work on the metabolic rate and efficiency of the human body as a machine. The author, an expert in nutrition, designed and built a bicycle ergometer - a device that records the amount of external muscular work performed by a person riding a bicycle - and used it to measure the calorific output of subjects performing work at different intensities. A series of experiments were conducted with three young men and a professional bicyclist, showing that the body can transform 20% of its energy into mechanical work. This finding contributes to our understanding of the efficiency of the human body and the relationship between energy expenditure and physical effort. Moreover, this research advances our knowledge of the physiological mechanisms underlying muscular work and energy production. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the development and construction of specialized laboratory equipment designed to research metabolic processes in the human body. The primary focus is on the creation of calorimeters that precisely measure heat production during various activities and conditions. The author provides a comprehensive historical background of calorimetry and its evolution. To ensure the accuracy of measurements, the author details the design principles and construction of the apparatus, discussing its fundamental components such as thermal junctions, cooling circuits, and ventilation systems. The book showcases innovations that enhance experimental accuracy and facilitate manipulation, including modifications to the calorimeter's structural steel framework, zinc and copper walls, and heat-absorbing systems. The author highlights the significance of these advancements for the field, enabling researchers to precisely quantify heat production and gain deeper insights into human physiology and abnormal metabolism.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a foundational study into the metabolic rates of humans at rest and while engaging in various activities. Building upon earlier research that focused on understanding respiratory processes of the body, the author sought to collect data on the respiratory exchange of healthy men under controlled conditions. The author includes extensive discussions of prior research, methods used to collect the data, and an analysis of factors such as muscular activity, sleep, and exposure to cold on the body's metabolism. The insights gained from this research form the basis of our current understanding of the body's energy requirements and have significantly influenced the fields of nutrition and preventative medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the physiological relationship between food and energy. It reviews previous scientific studies and provides detailed accounts of the author's own extensive experiments on the metabolic effects of various foods. Challenging the notion that digestion alone accounts for the increased energy expenditure after eating, the author explores internal processes such as peristalsis, heat used to warm ingested foods, and the stimulating effects of nutrients on cellular activity. The author traces the historical development of this field of study from the work of Lavoisier and Seguin to the turn of the 20th century, demonstrating the evolution of scientific understanding on this topic.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This paper argues that to counter border spillover violence, America must control the border with Mexico and generate the public and political commitment to do so. This study applies a military problem solving methodology to identify how best to counter spillover violence. The methodology, which is described in a student text at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, enables the author to sift through the data of six prominent, recent studies which address the U.S.-Mexico drug problem. The conclusions and emphasis that arise from the methodology discern that border control, which is downplayed in the six prominent studies, should be--in fact--the U.S. government's critical focus.…
