Hot working condition is the integration result among temperature, humidity, velocity of air movement, and hot radiation from the body's workers, which causes the decrease of systol-icblood pressure withits complication (1). The kitchen is a place with hot working condition because there is process of cooking using the instruments producing hot radiation making the space of kitchen to be hot. A...

The relative contributions of respiratory and cutaneous evaporation to total evaporative water loss (TEWL) and how the partitioning of these two avenues varies with environmental temperature has received little attention in bats. We trained Wahlberg's epauletted fruit bats (Epomophorus wahlbergi) captured in Pretoria, South Africa, to wear latex masks while hanging in respirometry chambers, and...

As poikilothermic vertebrates, fish can experience changes in water temperature, and hence body temperature, as a result of seasonal changes, migration, or efflux of large quantities of effluent into a body of water. Temperature shifts outside of the optimal temperature range for an individual fish species can have negative impacts on the physiology of the animal, including the immune system. A...

OBJECTIVE Resting energy expenditure (EE) is a major contributor to the total EE and thus plays an important role in body weight regulation. Adaptive thermogenesis is a major component of EE in rodents, but little is known on the effects of exposure of humans to mild and sustainable reduction in environmental temperature. DESIGN To characterize the dynamic changes in continuously measured res...

in recent years, mangrove forests with the high economical and environmental value are threatened with extinction by human activities. ex-situ conservation is an appropriate method to conservation this forest. this study was conducted with the purpose of studying the role of climatology factors as one of the most important environmental parameters in dispersion of mangrove forests of hormozgan ...

The pregnancy results of 17337 inseminations carried out in a dairy herd near Cairo over a period of 12 years were retrospectively analyzed in relation to environmental temperature and temperature-humidity index (THI). The overall average of pregnancy rates to all inseminations was significantly (P

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate levels and sources of dietary energy for growing-finishing pigs during cool and warm seasons. The specific objective was to determine the effect of lower energy diets containing more fiber during cooler temperatures. In Exp. 1, lower energy diets supported daily gains equal to those of pigs fed higher energy diets during low temperature trials, but g...

Environmental monitoring of environmental pollution prevention and control in humans to resolve existing or potential environmental problems and improve the living environment and the ecological environment, coordinating the relationship between human beings and the environment, and ultimately to sustainable human development plays an important role. In order to accurately and fully grasp the p...
