BACKGROUND Burn is the worst tragedy among modern societies that individuals may experience. One of the most important problems of burns is pain; particularly at the time of treatment including burn dressings, debridement, surgical incisions and physiotherapy. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of rhythmic breathing on pain of dressing change in patients with burns. METHODS Th...

Reservoir shale has the characteristics of bedding planes, strong anisotropy, and imbibition ability under ultralow water saturation, which an important impact on wellbore stability horizontal wells. Therefore, physical chemical properties reservoir were analyzed, a mechanics model was established considering elasticity strength anisotropy. The analyzed anisotropy parameters formation condition...

Both dietary fermentable carbohydrates and the availability of straw bedding potentially affect activity patterns and energy utilisation in pigs. The present study aimed to investigate the combined effects of straw bedding and fermentable carbohydrates (native potato starch) on energy partitioning in growing pigs. In a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, 16 groups of 12 pigs (approximately 25 kg) were...

Animal welfare during transport became an largely issue because of increasing demand for improved animal standards. Most studies on the transportation have concentrated atmosphere and temperature truck compartments. Thus, objective study was to collect quantify three axis acceleration determine effect bedding transporting pigs from farm slaughterhouse. A total 2,840 crossbred fattening with a l...

In this paper, we describe a new technique for the automatic orientation of bedding in drill core from digital images. Images are planar pictures of the drill core, and we show that it is possible to determine layer orientation without rotating the core on the full circumference. More precisely, we show that angle information can be extracted by applying image processing and a mathematical desc...
