Enhancing Stress Assessment in Sledge Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus): APilot Study on Infrared Thermal Imaging and its Opportunities for Advancement as a Welfare Assessment Tool by Océane Liehrmann, Anne Ollila, Virpi Lummaa, Léa Lansade, Martin W. Seltmann

“…Measuring immediate physiological stress responses in animals can be challenging; saliva and blood sampling, while invasive, may also generate confounding stress responses, and equipping animals with heart rate sensors is not always feasible. Nevertheless, emerging technologies offer a non-invasive and contactless method to measure additional body surface temperature changes induced by acute stress, using infrared thermal measurement of the eye caruncle region. …”

Spatial quality measurement of commercial streets in old cities of medium-sized cities in China by Tongwen Wang, Hongkai Li, Xinmeng Cao, Chaohui Yue, Yuanyuan Yang, Weijie Huang, Haidong Li

“…This study finds that (1) crowd activities on commercial streets have different temporal and spatial patterns on weekdays and days off; (2) the external characterization of urban street space quality has a significant positive correlation with objective material spatial elements such as the density of public transportation stops, functional density, functional mixing, interface continuity, and spatial green visibility rate; (3) the enhancement of street accessibility and fine-tuning of functions are key to improving the spatial quality of commercial streets.This study provides theoretical basis and ideas for improving the spatial quality of commercial streets in medium-sized cities in China and promoting sustainable urban development.…”

Analysis of fibrous material deformation in the roll contact zone by Khurramov Shavkat, Abrorov Akbar, Abdullaev Akhror, Norov Nusiratjon, Baymatov Shakhriddin

“…The analytical description of the shape of contact curves and the thickness of processed material in the technological zone of a two-roll module in a dynamic mode is given, considering the deformation pattern of the processed material. It is determined that one of the factors that most influence the shape of the contact curve is the ratio of the compression rate of the coating deformation to the corresponding material feed rate. …”
