Skin temperature of piglets as a biosensor for controlling the heating system in creeps with low power consumption
(2021-10-01)
A new technology, which uses suckling piglets as biosensors for the control of heating systems in creeps, is shown to be feasible regarding the thermal point of view and efficient use of electricity. This study describes ...
Preoperative combined with intraoperative skin-surface warming avoids hypothermia caused by general anesthesia and surgery
(2003-03-01)
Study Objectives: To evaluate the effects of intraoperative skin-surface warming with and without 1 hour of preoperative warming, in preventing intraoperative hypothermia, and postoperative hypothermia, and shivering, and ...
Tribute to R.G. Boutilier: Skin colour and body temperature changes in basking Bokermannohyla alvarengai (Bokermann 1956)
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2006-04-01)
In amphibians solar basking far from water sources is relatively uncommon since the highly permeable amphibian skin does not represent a significant barrier to the accompanying risk of losing water by evaporation. A South ...
Temperature and dehydration effects on metabolism, water uptake and the partitioning between respiratory and cutaneous evaporative water loss in a terrestrial toad
(Company Biologists Ltd, 2018-12-01)
Terrestrial anurans often experience fluctuations in body temperature and hydration state, which are known to influence evaporative water loss through the skin (EWLSkin) and lungs (EWLResp). These effects arises from ...
Charcot foot: Skin temperature as a good clinical parameter for predicting disease outcome
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTDCLARE, 2012)
Twenty-eight diabetics presenting with acute Charcot foot were immobilized and the temperature difference between limbs measured at each month. All patients had monthly follow-up visits for a year and the relapse rate was ...
Determination of piglets' rectal temperature and respiratory rate through skin surface temperature under climatic chamber conditions
(2015-01-01)
In animal farming, an automatic and precise control of environmental conditions needs information from variables derived from the animals themselves, i.e. they act as biosensors. Rectal temperature (RT) and respiratory ...
Machine learning algorithms to predict core, skin, and hair-coat temperatures of piglets
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-08-01)
Internal-body (core) and surface temperatures of livestock are important information that indicate heat stress status and comfort of animals. Previous studies focused on developing mechanistic and empirical models to predict ...
The Thermal Effects of Therapeutic Lasers with 810 and 904 nm Wavelengths on Human Skin
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2011)
Objective: To investigate the effect of therapeutic infrared class 3B laser irradiation on skin temperature in healthy participants of differing skin color, age, and gender. Background: Little is known about the potential ...
Assessment of body surface temperature in cetaceans: an iterative approach
(Instituto Internacional de Ecologia, 2004-08-01)
A transferência de energia térmica da superfície corporal para a água é provavelmente o aspecto mais importante do equilíbrio térmico em mamíferos marinhos, mas os respectivos cálculos dependem do conhecimento da temperatura ...
Incubation Temperature during Fetal Development Influences Morphophysiological Characteristics and Preferred Ambient Temperature of Chicken Hatchlings
(Public Library Science, 2016-05-16)
Skin and feather characteristics, which play a critical role in body temperature maintenance, can be affected by incubation circumstances, such as incubation temperature. However, no study to date has assessed the influence ...
