Resting metabolic rate can vary with age independently from body mass changes in the Colorado potato beetle‚ Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Abstract A study was done by Saija Pironine‚ leena Lindstrom‚ and Anne Lyytinen in the Journal of Insect Physiology‚ to investigate the age dependence of resting metabolic rate in Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsadecemlineata) from adult emergence until age 10 days.

Chapter 5: Flow Rate and Capacity Analysis 5.1 Objective Chapter 3 introduced the three basic building blocks of process flow namely the (average) flow time‚ (average) flow rate and (average) inventory. It is followed by a sequence of three chapters‚ 4‚ 5 and 6‚ which examine each one of these measures individually. Chapter 5 is concerned with flow rate analysis and issues of capacity. The major managerial concept discussed in the in the chapter is that of the bottleneck. We use the notion
