# Sable Visit

### Problems

1. Cage 0 and 4 are consistently weird.
2. Negative water.
3. Diurnal pattern in water when no mouse (this is likely because temperature cycling is not accounted for)
4. how to incorporate temp in macro
5. Water in baseline chamber? Or no?

### Critical Questions
1. How much "noise" in measurement is expected.

### Other things
1. system conversion to push system
2. RQ > 1
are they burning a fuel that liberates water?
3. how to correct for water bias? Is there a bias?
4. we measure water exhalation over 3 days, and know that we lost 5mls of water over that time period... How can we subtract out that amount of water from our experiment.
5. other examples of measurements taken in a diurnal system
6. can we drop the flow rate? with the current flow rate, if someone goes in the room we can see the person in the data
7.
