Defining the Newborn Piglet’s Thermal Environment with an Effective Environmental Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
An effective environmental temperature (EET) developed for newborn piglets describes the thermal environment by incorporating the mean radiant temperature, dry-bulb temperature, and air velocity near the newborn. The adequacy of the defined EET was analyzed by comparing with three published studies on newborn sensible heat loss. Results from the published studies indicate that the EET predicted between 87% and 98% of the variability in the data.

متن کاملMicroclimate land surface temperatures across urban land use/ land cover forms
Urbanization brings biophysical changes in the composition of the landscape. Such change has an impact on the thermal environment locally. The urban mosaic of land use and land cover is thus characteristically composed of local climate zones. The spatial variation in the land surface temperature across specific zone is studied for Bhopal city. The objective of the study was to understand how th...
متن کاملRange of critical temperatures in sick and premature newborn babies.
The human baby, even if premature, shows evidence of homeothermy (Bruck, 1961; Day, Curtis, and Kelly, 1943). When subjected to a cool environment, his metabolic rate increases in an attempt to keep pace with increased heat loss. When subjected to an excessively warm environment, he becomes restless and active with hurried panting respiration so that again metabolic rate is increased. Between t...
