Limiting metabolic rate (thermal work limit) as an index of thermal stress
The development of a rational heat stress index called thermal work limit (TWL) is presented. TWL is deŽ ned as the limiting (or maximum) sustainable metabolic rate that euhydrated, acclimatized individuals can maintain in a speciŽ c thermal environment, within a safe deep body core temperature (< 38.20±C) and sweat rate (< 1.2 kg/hr¡1). The index has been developed using ...

Changing lifestyles in transition routes towards sustainable household consumption patterns
Recent decades have witnessed increasing consumption levels, and associated production levels, notably in the Western industrialised world. Past and future trends in household metabolic rates and the environmental impacts thereof are studied within the interdisciplinary research programme HOMES (Household Metabolism Effectively Sustainable). Drawing on empirical research largely from the ...

Analysis of the exergy balance of green leaves
In this paper we analyse the exergy balance of green leaves. The exergy source comes from the direct and diffuse solar radiation absorbed in the leaves, while exergy destruction occurs as the consequence of evapotranspiration, of internal flows and of leaf metabolism. Exergy storage occurs namely in the form of glucose which is a result of photosynthesis and oxygen release into the environment. ...

Fenitrothion, an organophosphorus insecticide, impairs locomotory function and alters body temperatures in Sminthopsis macroura (Gould 1845) without reducing metabolic rates during running endurance and thermogenic performance tests
Endemic Australian mammal species are exposed to pesticides used for locust control as they occupy the same habitat as the target insect. We examined the impact of an ultra‐low volume (ULV) formulation of the organophosphorus insecticide, fenitrothion (O,O‐dimethyl‐O‐(3‐methyl‐4‐nitrophenol)‐phosphorothioate), on a suite of physiological measures that affect the ability of animals to survive ...

Dietary exposure of BDE‐47 and BDE‐99 and effects on behavior, bioenergetics and thyroid function in juvenile red‐eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) and common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina)
Juvenile red‐eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) and snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) were fed food dosed with BDE‐47 or BDE‐99 for six months beginning approximately nine months post‐hatch. During the exposure period, measurements of growth, bioenergetics and behavior were made while thyroid function and accumulation were quantified post‐exposure. Whole body concentrations of both ...

Continuous Metabolic Monitoring with the miniDOT® Logger
Case Study Description Warming Waters and Metabolic Rates As climate change continues to warm our world and its waters, scientists and researchers across the globe have spent years attempting to understand and predict the ramifications such warming will have on Earth’s ecosystems. Predictions can range from mild effects to the catastrophic, but one team of researchers are finding that a ...

Added value of advanced perfusion parameters in Moyamoya patients - Case Study
Introduction Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a cerebrovascular disease characterised by progressive steno-occlusion of the terminal part of the internal carotid arteries, causing a decline in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) distal to the steno-occlusion lesion. This will trigger a haemodynamic and metabolic response to preserve the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2). Cerebral auto-regulation ...

Measuring Dissolved Oxygen and Metabolism Rates Across Fish Species
Upgrading to the Aquasend Beacon’s™ real-time data technology has proven to be a business intelligence asset, as well as a farm operational tool. The Beacon’s data allows farmers to better understand how metabolism rates differ across species of fish. This gives aquaculture farmers valuable insight that can help them make decisions regarding stocking levels and overall production outcomes. When ...

Organic Acids Analysis
The organism undergoes thousands of biochemical reactions every moment to maintain our growth, development and energy metabolism. Under normal circumstances, these biochemical reactions proceed smoothly step by step through various cycles or certain steps. The process by which the body changes carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats from nutrients to absorbable substances and wastes is called the ...

Brief Introduction of ADC Drug Production Technology
Drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR, drug-to-antibody ratio) The number of cytotoxic drugs connected to each antibody is the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR). When the DAR increases, the drug metabolism rate of ADC drugs increases, the half-life decreases, and the systemic toxicity increases. Ideally, when the DAR is 4, the drug has the highest efficacy. Therefore, in actual production, the drugs with DAR ...

We put the O2 in WRKUT
Over the course of time, humankind has been continuously searching for methods to remain young, preserve their health and become more and more efficient in all aspects of their existence. Especially nowadays, in the fast-paced world that we all live in, it is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle and to prioritize the health of our bodies and minds. But do you really have the time to ...

Digital Monitoring Quickly Alerts to Thermal Changes During Surgical Procedures
Hypothermia is the leading prolonged anesthesia side effect in animals. In both dogs and cats, hypothermia, and even hyperthermia, can often happen with any lengthy surgical procedure – dental or general – or in a patient that has comorbid issues. Veterinary-specific multiparameter digital monitors are the key to quickly determining if an anesthetized patient is becoming hypothermic ...
