The role of blood circulatory system in thermal regulation of animals explained by entropy production analysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
A novel model of thermal regulation of homoeothermic animals has been implemented. The model is based on a non-equilibrium thermodynamic approach which introduces entropy balance and the rate of entropy generation as a formulation of The Second Law. The model explains linear correlation between an animals skin and environment temperatures using the ...

The influence of micro-scale thermal habitat on the movements of juvenile white sharks in their Southern California aggregation sites

Frontiers in Marine Science
While juvenile white sharks (JWS) can display regional endothermy, the need to maintain internal temperatures within an energetically favorable range likely drives thermoregulatory movements to maximize growth and foraging efficiency.

On a Multiscale Analysis of a Micro-Model of Heat Transfer in Biological Tissues [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
A bio-heat transfer model for biological tissues in a micro-scale and periodical settings is investigated . It is assumed that the model is a two-component system consisting of solid particles representing tissue cells and interconnected pores containing either arterial or venous blood. This tissue-blood system is described by two energy equations, one

The biopsychology of maternal behavior in nonhuman mammals [PDF]

, 1990
The term “maternal behavior,” when applied to nonhuman mammals, includes the behaviors exhibited in preparation for the arrival of newborn, in the care and protection of the newly arrived young, and in the weaning of those young, and represents a complex

Thermal Ecology of the Australian Agamid Pogona barbata [PDF]

, 1997
This study compares the thermal ecology of male bearded dragon lizards (Pogona barbata) from south-east Queensland across two seasons: summer (1994-1995) and autumn (1995).

Energy Balance in Cell Phone Radiofrequency Radiation Exposed Mice and Rats [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
The National Toxicology Program exposed mice and rats to cell phone radiofrequency radiation. They observer cancers in male rats but not in male mice and different increases in body temperature between mice and rats using identical frequency and intensity exposures.

An Agent-Based Model of Elephant Crop Raid Dynamics in the Periyar-Agasthyamalai Complex, India [PDF]

arXiv
Human-wildlife conflict challenges conservation worldwide, which requires innovative management solutions. We developed a prototype Agent-Based Model (ABM) to simulate interactions between humans and solitary bull Asian elephants in the Periyar-Agasthyamalai complex of the Western Ghats in Kerala, India. The main challenges were the complex behavior of

Modelling honey bee colonies in winter using a Keller-Segel model with a sign-changing chemotactic coefficient [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Thermoregulation in honey bee colonies during winter is thought to be self-organised. We added mortality of individual honey bees to an existing model of thermoregulation to account for elevated losses of bees that are reported worldwide. The aim of analysis is to obtain a better fundamental understanding of the consequences of individual mortality ...
