other input of the AND gate by applying+5V to it. In this manner the AND gate is serving as a buffer. When a logic 1 is applied by theparallel port the counter resets. A one-shot is used to advance the counter. The chip that is usedis a 74221. The Q output of the one-shot is connected to the Clock A input of the counter. Theone-shot is setup to have a Q output pulse width of approximately 76 ms to give adequate time toallow for an A/D conversion of the analog channel connected to the AD595. The counteradvances by a count of one when a pulse from the one-shot is applied to the counters clock Binput. One of the control lines of the parallel port is connected to the B input of the one-shot tocontrol when the counter advances.The last component

a function of RERHeat transfer through respiration Energy that is not used to perform external work is ultimately released as heat throughradiation, convection evaporation of sweat, and respiration. In this module, we are concernedwith the rate of heat transfer by respiration.During respiration, inspired air is warmed from ambient temperature to body temperature prior tobeing exhaled. In addition, water evaporates from the wet alveolar membranes to saturate the airin the lungs prior to expiration. The humid exhaled air removes heat from the body in the formof latent heat of vaporization. The rate of cooling (q, kcal/min) achieved through the process ofrespiration is

To calculate the WQI, the values for each parameter areconverted to a numerical Q-value and are then multiplied by a weighting factor. These sub-totalsare then added together resulting in an overall WQI value ranging from 0-100.
