"This volume deals with the interaction of acoustic fields with
bubbles in liquids, with emphasis on the principles of
cavitation--the generation of bubbles in liquids by rapid changes,
such as those introduced by ultrasound. When cavity bubbles implode
they produce shock waves in the liquid. If cavitation is induced by
turbulent flow, components can be damaged. These phenomena have
important implications, particularly in underwater acoustics, one
of the fastest growing fields in acoustics research. The Acoustic
Bubble skillfully explains the physical processes involved in
cavitation both by analogy and formulation, making the concepts
accessible to those with a minimal background in mathematics. This
book willbe of great interest to those engaged in research in a
wide range of areas, from sonochemistry to the sensitization of
explosives.
Measuring metabolic rates is central to important questions in many
areas of scientific research. Unfortunately these measurements are
anything but straightforward, and numerous pitfalls await the
novice and even the experienced investigator.
Measuring Metabolic Rates de-mystifies the field, explaining every
common variation of metabolic rate measurement, from century-old
manometric methods through ingenious syringe-based techniques,
direct calorimetry, aquatic respirometry, stable-isotope metabolic
measurement and every type of flow-through respirometry. Each
variation is described in enough detail to allow it to be applied
in practice. Background information on different analyzer and
equipment types allows users to choose the best instruments for
their application. Respirometry equations - normally a topic of
terror and confusion to researchers - are derived and described in
enough detail to make their selection and use effortless.
Vital topics such as manual and automated baselining, implementing
multi-animal systems, and the correct analysis and presentation of
metabolic data are covered in enough detail to turn a respirometry
neophyte into a hardened metabolic warrior, ready to take on the
task of publication in peer-reviewed journals.
