Comparison of fetal and maternal hind limb metabolic quotients in sheep
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984This study compared substrate utilization by the fetal hind limb and the maternal hind limb in 26 sheep at 120 to 135 days of gestation. Catheters were placed in the mother and the fetus to sample femoral arterial and venous blood by use of a nonocclusive technique.

Computation of metabolic quotients in plant-animal symbiotic units
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1988Equations of several metabolic quotients of symbiotic units are derived taking a zooxanthellate scleractinian coral as a case study but are useful in any plant-animal symbiotic association. These quotients are: the photosynthetic quotient of the coral (PQ net ) and zooxanthellae (PQ z ), and the respiratory quotient of the coral (RQ c ).

Values of the derivative of a convex function are estimated from data for the function by assigning the difference quotients of the observations to appropriate values of the determining variable. The procedure is illustrated for the time course of hepatocytes incubated with lactate, of amount l, for which pyruvate, of amount p, is also observed.

Effects of heavy metal stress on the metabolic quotient of the soil microflora
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1996A variety of quantitative measurements such as viable counts, microbial biomass (Cmic), respiration, enzyme activities or ATP contents may be used to study the effects of heavy metals on the soil microflora (Babich and Stotzky, 1985; Brookes et al., 1986).

Effect of biochar on organic matter conservation and metabolic quotient of soil
Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy, 2015Emission of CO2 resulting from mineralization of organic carbon in agricultural soil is main pathways of greenhouse gas emission. In this research, effect of biochar on humus, organic carbon accumulation, and metabolic quotient of soil were investigated. Different contents of biochar were added in two kinds of soil with different fertility.

Arctic ground squirrels ( Spermophilus parryii) overwinter in hibernaculum conditions that are substantially below freezing. During torpor, captive arctic ground squirrels displayed ambient temperature (Ta)-dependent patterns of core body temperature (Tb), metabolic rate (TMR), and metabolic fuel use, as determined by respiratory quotient (RQ).

Abstract The microbial metabolic quotient (respiration-to-biomass ratio) or qCO2, conceptually based on Odum's theory of ecosystem succession, is increasingly being used as an index of ecosystem development (during which it supposedly declines) and disturbance (due to which it supposedly increases).

Clinical Nutrition, 1983
Twenty male patients undergoing routine elective abdominal surgery of moderate severity nursed at either 20 or 28 degrees C had indirect calorimetry carried out on a control day pre-operatively and for the first four post-operative days. The mean resting metabolic rate over the four post-operative days was significantly elevated by 9% above control ...
