Basal metabolic rate scaled to body mass between species by the fractal dimension of the vascular system and body composition

Roux, Carl Z. (South African Society for Animal Science, 2017)

Exercise-induced maximum aerobic metabolic rate (MMR) is related to the fractal dimension (D) of the self-similar vascular blood transport system by a whole body mass (Mw) power with exponent b of the form b = D/3. The ...
Exercise-induced maximum metabolic rate scaled to body mass by the fractal dimension of the vascular distribution network

Roux, Carl Z. (South African Society for Animal Science, 2016-10-27)

The central postulation of the present approach to metabolic rate scaling is that exercise-induced maximum aerobic metabolic rate (MMR) is proportional to the fractal extent (V) of an animal. Total fractal extent can be ...
