Seasonal temperature acclimatization in a semi-fossorial mammal and the role of burrows as thermal refuges
Small mammals in habitats with strong seasonal variation in the thermal environment often exhibit physiological and behavioral adaptations for coping with thermal extremes and reducing thermoregulatory costs. Burrows are especially important for providing thermal refuge when above-ground temperatures require high regulatory costs (e.g., water or energy) or exceed the physiological tolerances of...

15 صفحه اولBed adapted for a patient with burn injuries
BACKGROUND For successful wound healing of extensive burn injuries, air circulation around the wound and drainage of wound secretion is inevitable. Therefore, typically extensive burn injuries are treated by using a specifi cally adapted hospital bed (e.g. Clinitron AF). The patient is bedded in a mass of micro glass balls, which are swirled by the application of a strong air current to support...
متن کاملCold-Adapted Proteases as an Emerging Class of Therapeutics
Proteases have been used in medicine for several decades and are an established and well tolerated class of therapeutic agent. These proteases were sourced from mammals or bacteria that exist or have adapted to moderate temperatures (mesophilic organisms); however, proteases derived from organisms from cold environments-cold-adapted or psychrophilic proteases-generally have high specific activi...
متن کاملUnforeseen Effects of Supplementary Feeding: Ungulate Baiting Sites as Hotspots for Ground-Nest Predation
Despite the ubiquity and magnitude of food provision to wildlife, our understanding of its ecological effects and conservation implications is very limited. Supplementary feeding of ungulates, still one of the main paradigms of game management in Europe, occurs in natural areas on an enormous scale. We investigated the indirect effects of this practice on nest predation risk in the Polish Easte...
