Body Temperature Regulating Capacity of the Lamb

Maintenance of body temperature in the neonatal lamb: effects of breed, birth weight, and litter size.

To survive, the newborn lamb must be able to maintain body temperature and to stand and move to the udder to suck colostrum to fuel heat production. The objective of this study was to investigate whether neonatal lambs showing slow behavioral progress to standing and sucking also have an impaired ability to maintain body temperature. The time taken to stand and suck after birth, rectal temperat...

Body temperature and locomotor capacity in a heterothermic rodent.

We quantify the locomotor capacity of the round-tailed ground squirrel (Spermophilus tereticaudus), a mammal that can lower energetic costs by relaxing thermoregulatory limits without becoming inactive. We measured maximum sprint speed, maximum limb cycling frequency and maximum force production in animals at body temperatures ranging from 31 degrees C to 41 degrees C. We found no thermal depen...

Investigating the Reliability and Factor Structure of the Self-Regulating Capacity in Vocabulary Learning (SRCvoc) in Iranian EFL Context

The present study aimed to investigate the reliability and factor structure of the self-regulating capacity in vocabulary learning strategies scale (SRCvoc) in the Iranian EFL context. To this end, the original (SRCvoc) questionnaire (Tseng, Dornyei, & Schmitt, 2006) was translated into Persian, using a translation/back-translation procedure. Then, the Persian version of the SRCVOC was piloted ...

The effect of Hypericum scabrum on the hematologic factors, body weight and temperature in mice

Background & Aim: Vast variety of plants in various regions of the country and lack of enough information on their chemical combinations, sometimes lead to triggering poisoning and unsatisfied complications. Regarding to fabulous herbal characteristics of Hypricum, many research about poisoning and side effects of high concentrations of H. scabrum have not taken place...
