healthy five-week old albino Sprague Dawley® Outbred rats: (24 females) and (24 males) purchased from Taconic Biosciences‚ Inc. one month prior to the experiment. The rats were purchased one month prior so that they can be examined by a veterinarian to make sure they are healthy before the start of the experiment. Once the rats were deemed to be healthy they were then separated into their according groups in order to start the experiment. The female rats were separated into four groups‚ three experimental

3.1 Metabolic Load: The metabolic activities inside human body constantly create heat and humidity (i.e. perspiration). This heat passes through the body tissues and is finally released to the cabin air. This amount is considered as a heat gain by the cabin air and is called the metabolic load. The metabolic load can be calculated by Qmet = Σ MADU Passengers Where M is the passenger’s metabolic heat production rate. (It is assumed from ISO 8996 based on various criteria for driver: M = 85 W/m2

Black Rat Biology Honors Paper The Rattus Rattus (black rat) is one of the most problematic invasive species in the world. Covering 80% of all archipelagos and are found on six continents. Black rats are mainly found on tropical islands such as the Galapagos‚ Hawaii and most of the islands in Central America. Rats prefer to live in areas filled with forests and shrubland‚ but can live on minimal vegetation. Scientists have been able to exterminate this invasive species from most temperate and sub

BASIAL GANGLIA Objectives: Define basal ganglia and describe the parts‚ describe the main connections and functions‚ describe the function and the disorders of basal ganglia The main function of the basal ganglia is to provide a feedback mechanism for the selection and initiation of voluntary movement. They way it does that is it provides an input to the thalamus which acts as an inhibitory input to the lateral ventricle of the thalamus which then projects an excitaroty input to the motor cortex

Rats are quite similar to mice but with a more distinct look. Their fur colour and differ between white to a black. The average length of a rat is between 13-18 cm. Rats can eat pretty much everything humans eat‚ meaning that the rat’s diet consists of household scraps‚ grains‚ seeds‚ and other small

conditioning in rats. The purpose of the experiment was to condition rats to suppress certain hunger behaviors such as water licking. Burdick and James paired the neutral stimulus of white light with shock in a “test chamber” to see if rats would develop an association between the two stimuli. Naturally‚ shock induces a fear-like freezing behavior‚ and after being conditioned the rats displayed the same behavior but only to the white light. Furthermore‚ they would then place the rats back in their

decrease their calorie consumption. This results in that feeling of sluggishness and tiredness that is common among most dieters‚ meaning we become less efficient at burning calories. What a metabolic diet does is raise the metabolism to speed up the burning of calories‚ which equates to a faster weight loss rate. This method of dieting is much more effective than what essentially amounts to starving yourself. But if you are dieting to lose weight‚ how can you avoid

Two rats‚ one male and one female‚ are put on an island that has ideal conditions for rats. The female rat has a litter of six rats the first day‚ and will have a litter every forty days after that. There are three important things to remember‚ and they are that the number of rats in every litter is six‚ three females and three males. Secondly‚ every
