| Abstract | The evaluation of energy expenditure is of great importance, not only during health promotion, but also during recovery from disease. The measurement of oxygen uptake is the most reliable method for measuring energy expenditure, but, for estimating resting metabolism, there is still a need for sophisticated equipment. We have developed and evaluated a simple calorimeter and compared it with the flow-through (Canopy) system. A respiratory simulator was used to evaluate oxygen uptake at different flow rates. A known concentration of mixed gases flows into the system via the respiratory simulator and the oxygen concentrations and flow rates were compared. The results indicate that large errors in the measurement of oxygen uptake occurred at low flow rates, but these errors were about 5% under estimated values in the simple calorimeter. The measurement error at low flow rates is about 10% in the Canopy system. From these results, we concluded that the simple calorimeter can be used to measure oxygen uptake under resting conditions; however, the Canopy system would be unsuitable for measurement in a subject with small ventilation, such as an elderly patient. Great attention is needed when these oxygen measurement systems are applied to patients with very low flow rates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
