An overview of heat stress relief with global warming in perspective
Global warming seems more probable, whether as gradual warming or increased frequency of warmer episodes. The productivity of cattle in temperate countries will decline unless counteracting steps are adopted. ...

A comparison of THI indices leads to a sensible heat-based heat stress index for shaded cattle that aligns temperature and humidity stress
The combined temperature-humidity heat stress is estimated in farm animals by indices derived of an index based on human thermal comfort sensation. The latter index consists of temperature and humidity measure...

MR volumetric assessment of endolymphatic hydrops
We aimed to volumetrically quantify endolymph and perilymph spaces of the inner ear in order to establish a methodological basis for further investigations into the pathophysiology and therapeutic monitoring o...

Inter-animal radiation as potential heat stressor in lying animals
A model for predicting inter-animal radiant heat exchange in shaded animals is presented, with emphasis on mature cattle. When a cow’s surface temperature is 35 °C, as is common in warmer climates, it loses ∼5...

Volume of interest cone beam CT with a 2.35 MV beam generated with a carbon linear accelerator target
Purpose: This is a proof-of-concept study of volume of interest (VOI) cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging using an x-ray beam produced by 2.35 MeV electrons incident on a carbon linear accelerator target. ...

Amontons' law at the molecular level
One of the fundamental postulates of friction is that at the microscopic or molecular level, the “real” area of contact is proportional to the load applied over the macroscopic or “apparent” area. This has bot...

Heat stress effects on capillary blood flow and its redistribution in the laying hen
The effect of heat stress on capillary blood flow (CBF) distribution was examined in laying hens, using 15 micron microspheres, by determining CBF before and after elevating body temperature by 1–2°C. No chang...

Critical temperatures in lactating dairy cattle: A new approach to an old problem
Thermoregulatory reactions of lactating cows (33 Kg milk/day) have been measured in summer (Tg 25° – 39°C) and in winter (Tg 9, 5° – 24°C) at 3-hr intervals, during four 24-hr cycles. The animals maintained an al...
