An intermittent discharge waste stabilisation pond system was trialled for treatment of a seasonal wastewater load from a campsite. The system showed rapid acclimatisation to incoming load, with chlorophyll-a exceeding 700 mg l(-1) within 2 weeks and filtered and unfiltered effluent biochemical oxygen demand below 20 and 30 mg l(-1) respectively. Good performance continued for some weeks, after...

Reintroduction of European bison into the natural environment is one most important conservation measures applied for this species. After creating a free herd bison, spatial monitoring crucial. It allows observation population, as well detection potential threats and needs intervention. In 2016, new was introduced to Żednia District in Knyszyńska Forest. few months spent acclimation enclosure, ...

Heat acclimatization (HA) and personal body-cooling are effective methods of heat stress mitigation. HA involves conditioning the body to function under hot conditions by exposing the individual to an incremental level of heat stress daily over 10 to 14 days. Although HA improves thermoregulation during heat exposure, effective physical heat exchange between the body and environment must still ...

Medicine at high altitude provides important insights into the acute and chronic effects of hypoxia. Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common syndrome occurring after acute ascent to over 2,500 m and is caused by increased capillary permeability. A number of factors have been identified that increase the risk of AMS, in particular exercise. Avoiding rapid ascent, undue exercise and the use of ...

tropical exposure, and between these and heat disorders. The relative value of artificial acclimatisation and indoctrination is worthy of study. The present attitude to drinking water cannot be improved, and no longer are salt tablets administered as a drill. Extra salt is probably no guarantee against heat disorders and may in some men aggravate prickly heat. More important than extra salt are...

OBJECTIVES To quantify the changes in ventilatory response and arterial blood gases in healthy male volunteers on acute ascent to 4578 meters altitude along with evaluating the role of acetazolamide and dexamethasone prophylaxis in acclimatisation. METHODS Forty four lowlander male subjects participated as two groups in the study. Twenty four lowlander healthy male adults (age mean +/- SE 27....
