Usage Information
Abstract
The exchange of carbon dioxide in the pregnant rhesus monkey has been studied quantitatively using sodium bicarbonate-14C and applying the model of a system of seven compartments. The transfer rates among the various compartments, compartment sizes, and the rate of production of carbon dioxide by fetus and mother were determined with a computer programmed to fit the theoretical model to the data by adjusting the parameter values of the model until a “best fit” was obtained. It was confirmed that the exchange of carbon dioxide between fetal and maternal blood across the placenta is rapid, that between fetal blood and amniotic fluid is slow, and that there is no appreciable exchange between maternal blood and amniotic fluid. The mean net production of CO2 by fetus was 0.476 ±0.0402 mmoles/kg·min, and that by mother was 0.373 ±0.0279 mmoles/kg·min.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
