Each entry is presented in multiple forms.  Abstract gives an overview in HTML format.  The RTF file is converted directly from the original word processor document (usually .doc) as received from an author and can be opened with any version of MSWord (and maybe WordPerfect).  The PDF file is the original document converted to Adobe Acrobat readable form and can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader (free from Adobe).  If a user wants HTML versions for personal viewing or delivery on a campus server, we ask that the user make this conversion.

RESPIRATION
 
Physiology of Respiration with CO2 Sensor
Dr. Stephen Hunt, Qubit Systems Inc.
This series of investigations utilizes a Respiration Package that includes a gas phase Infrared-based sensor for measuring metabolic CO2 evolution by yeast in a flow-through chamber.  The labs were developed at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada for a course in Introductory Biology (Bio 101).  The Respiration Package is marketed by Qubit Systems Inc. of Kingston, Ontario (www.qubitsystems.com).
