Both acute and chronic dehydration can have important implications for human behaviour and health. Young children, non-autonomous individuals and the elderly are at a greater risk of dehydration. Mild hypertonic dehydration could be related to less efficient cognitive and physical performance and has been reported to be associated with frequently occurring pathological conditions, especially ne...

Deuterium dilution for the measurement of total body water (TBW) has been conducted using varying protocols for equilibration. We measured TBW from deuterium dilution in urine samples in twenty-eight subjects using three protocols: (1) early morning dosage without breakfast, measuring deuterium in a second voiding at 4 h and 6 h; (2) early morning dosage with breakfast with the same measurement...

many farmers periodically use deep tillage operations to alleviate compaction in the soil profile caused by natural factors or machinery traffic. in 2012 and 2013, a study was initiated in the pannonian region of croatia to study the effects of no-tillage (nt), conventional tillage (ct) and deep tillage (dt) on soil compaction, measured by (bd), soil water content (swc), penetration resistance ...

Abstract Widespread promotion of resource tax reform is critical importance in China's efforts to promote conservation and speed up the development a more ecological planet. Using Differences-in-Differences (DID) approach, this article empirically assesses impact water on total factor efficiency its mechanism action order examine effect policy from 2010 2019. According study, enhances substanti...

The effect on water and electrolyte balance of stress, simulated by intravenous infusion of cortisol, was studied using 24 18-mo-old Merino wethers (37.0 +/- 0.94 kg mean body weight [BW]) over 72 h. The sheep were allocated to one of four groups: 1) no water/no cortisol (n = 6); 2) water/no cortisol (n = 4); 3) no water/cortisol (n = 6); and 4) water/cortisol (n = 4). Animals allocated to the ...
