Relationship between metabolic indices and milk yield in Saanen goats exposed to heat stress in semi-tropical climates.

This study aimed to determine the effects of heat stress on 30 Saanen goats of different ages (young, middle-aged, and old). The average temperature and humidity values during the trial were 27.82 °C and 40.

Serum vitamin D3 (25-OH vit D3) concentrations and hemogram changes in calves with enzootic pneumonia.

Background: Enzootic pneumonia is an important disease complex associated with insufficient colostrum intake after birth, adverse environmental conditions, and stress. Vitamin D deficiency may be an important predisposing factor for this disease.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate in calves with enzootic pneumonia.

Improved temporal performance and optical quantum efficiency of avalanche amorphous selenium for low dose medical imaging.

Purpose: Active matrix flat panel imagers (AMFPIs) with thin-film transistor arrays experience image quality degradation by electronic noise in low-dose radiography and fluoroscopy. One potential solution is to overcome electronic noise using avalanche gain in an amorphous selenium (a-Se) (HARP) photoconductor in indirect AMFPI. In this work, we aim to improve temporal performance of HARP using a novel composite hole blocking layer (HBL) structure and increase optical quantum efficiency (OQE) to CsI:Tl scintillators by tellurium (Te) doping.

Simulation analysis of low back forces in Snatch and Clean & Jerk movements via digital human modelling.

Background: Weightlifting is an Olympic sport for dynamic strength and power, and requires the execution of different lifting techniques It is important to analyze the forces subjected to the lower back during weightlifting movements to prevent injuries. Digital Human Modeling (DHM) is a powerful tool that can be used to analyze and optimize the performance of humans while doing their work or activities.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to present a simulation analysis of the lower back forces during the execution of two weightlifting techniques: Snatch (SN) and Clean & Jerk (CJ), with different loads and for both genders.

Evaluation of glutaraldehyde coagulation test and colostrum BRIX refractometer compared with SNAP foal IgG test in neonatal foals.

Background: Prompt diagnosis of passive transfer failure in the neonatal period is important for early treatment.

Objectives: To compare the diagnostic performance of serum glutaraldehyde coagulation test (GCT) and colostrum BRIX% for failure to transfer passive immunity (FTPI) diagnosis with the results of SNAP foal test and to evaluate the results of serum GCT and colostrum BRIX% measurements in foals with diarrhoea in the 0-1 month period.

Study Design: In vitro experiments.
