متن کاملمطالعه دمای سطح آب و انتقال اکمن در ناحیه خلیج فارس
The wind drift motion of the water which is produced by the stress of the wind exerted upon the surface of the ocean is described by Ekmans theory (1905). Using the mean monthly values for the wind stress and SST, seasonal Ekman transport for the Persian Gulf was computed and contoured. The geostrophic winds have combined with the SST to estimate the effect of cooling due to Ekman transport o...
متن کاملThe effects of 12, 30, or 48 hours of road transport on the physiological and behavioral responses of sheep.
To identify long-distance transport durations compatible with acceptable animal welfare, the aim of this study was to determine the responses of healthy sheep to road transport under good conditions for 12, 30, or 48 h. Merino ewes (n = 120; 46.9 +/- 0.39 kg) were allocated to road transport treatments of 12, 30, or 48 h, with 2 replicates per treatment. Blood and urine samples and BW were take...
متن کاملImpact of sea transport on animal welfare: Assessing the welfare and feeding behaviour of horned and polled sheep and cattle during export
