Oxygen consumption failed to increase significantly with fibrillation; however, blood flow distribution favored the subepicardium, suggesting that oxygen consumption determinations in the fibrillating hypertrophied heart may not accurately reflect metabolic demand.
TPMP+ measurements were done in triplicate and simultaneous with oxygen consumption determinations.
O2 consumption determinations in intact cells were carried out in an oxygraph equipped with a Clark electrode as previously described (Hofhaus et al, 1996).
We measured oxygen consumption for determination of CI by Fick as the clinical "gold standard" and performed a set of three transpulmonary thermodilution measurements.
This is supported by Figure 2A and B, where oxygen consumption rate determination was repeated over time by periodic entrapment of the chamber volume (black bars).
Since these columns are expensive in terms of cost and energy consumption, an accurate determination of their separation efficiency is a prerequisite to optimization of their performance by design modification and revamping.
where (5a) represents the minimization of the total energy consumption through the determination of (mathcal {V}), and (mathcal {N}_{j})'s, (5b) denotes the connectivity constraints C 1 for intra-group connectivity, and (5c) denotes the connectivity constraints C 2 for inter-group connectivity.
Details on the performance of the Detailed Clinical Observations, regular health inspections, assessment of food and water consumption and the determination of the body weight are provided in the Supplementary Information (SI).
There was a trend towards significant evidence for interaction between SLC2A9 genotype and SSB (but not artificially sweetened beverage) consumption in the determination of serum urate levels (table 4; pInteraction=0.062).
Each experimental period lasted 14 days, with 10 days for diet adaptation and the last 4 days used for determination of consumption (dry matter intake, DMI; and indigestible neutral detergent fiber, iNDF), ruminal evacuation and collection of ruminal fluid.
Logistic model, Luedeking-Piret model and modified Luedeking-Piret model were found suitable to efficiently predict the cell mass, lipase production and glucose consumption, respectively with high determination coefficient (R2).
