Abstract Haemo-thermoregulatory response of twenty-six adult geese comprising 12 males and 14 females randomly allotted to four groups (Wallowed males, non-wallowed wallowed females) in a completely randomized design for seven weeks was evaluated. Wallowing done every alternate day. Respiratory rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT) pulse (PUR) were recorded. On days 1 49, blood samples (3mL/geese)...

Earlier, we reported the formation of unidentified strong irritants in reaction mixtures of terpenes and ozone. The identified products included aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids. Here we report the effects of relative humidity and reaction time on irritant formation in our flow reaction system using limonene and isoprene. Upper airway irritation was measured in mice (via reduction of res...

Background: Dairy cattle in many tropical, subtropical and semi-arid regions are subject to high ambient temperature relative humidity for extended periods of time. This compromises the ability lactating cows dissipate heat, resulting heat stress decreasing milk production. The objective this study was evaluate effect temperature-humidity index (THI) on production area. Methods: Data monthly (2...

Measurements of vapour pressure, taken four times a day over a 3-year period, were used to investigate the urban influence on diurnal and annual patterns of vapour pressure differences. The examined settlement is a medium-sized city without significant relief in the Great Hungarian Plain. Its regional climate is continental with a long warm season. On the basis of the results, the air in the ci...
