About the Book

An excerpt from the INTRODUCTION: 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 clinicians) 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. The purpose of this publication is to make available to investigators the majority of tables and conversion factors needed in calculations of results from measurements obtained by the several types of respiratory exchange apparatus, particularly the Regnault-Reiset and the combination of spirometer, valves, and breathing appliance, and to make available the standards of normal metabolism. The method of presentation is as follows: A section giving the method of construction and calculation of the tables and their application is followed by the section giving the tables themselves. The last part gives formulas and conversion factors which may be of use. The tables and factors have been collected from various sources and principally from Smithsonian Physical Tables, 1896,1920; Smithsonian Geographical Tables, 1918; Landolt-Bornstein Physikalischchemische Tabellen, 1905; Jeleniks Psychrometer-Tafeln, 1911; articles published in the Archives of Internal Medicine by workers of the Russell Sage Institute of Pathology and the Cornell Medical School; publications of the Carnegie Institution of Washington; Armsby's Principles of Animal Nutrition, 1906; and Joslin's Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, 1917. Some of the tables have been computed by the staff of the Nutrition Laboratory. This publication was prepared at the suggestion of Professor Francis G. Benedict, whose advice in the selection and ranges of the tables has been very helpful. The calculation and preparation of the majority of the tables have been under the supervision of Mr. W. H. Leslie and their accuracy is due to his painstaking care. He was assisted by Miss Clara E. Borden, Miss Mary D. Finn, and Mrs. F. N. Horton. He has also been helpful in the wording of headings and the section on description and uses of the tables."
