Exergy and Economic Analysis of Hybrid Mechanical Vapor Compression and Membrane Distillation
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hybridization of two or more desalination processes has been identified as an attractive option for improved energy efficiency and recovery rate. To appropriately assess the performance enhancement of hybrid desalination systems, an integrated approach for energy, exergy, economic, and environmental investigations should be adopted. This study

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Measurements of trackways as a method for assessing locomotion in dairy cows [PDF]
, 2005 The aim of this study was to assess whether locomotion parameters obtained by measurements of cow trackways are reliable and sufficiently sensitive to describe locomotion in non-lame and lame dairy cows on different floors.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.We assessed lactation productivity in dairy cows when replacing alfalfa hay with barley silage. A 50% replacement increased feed intake, whereas total replacement improved nutrient conversion to milk. Barley silage can effectively replace alfalfa hay, enhancing sustainability and resilience in dairy production amid forage quality constraints and market

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.This study was to evaluate the role of GH in lipolysis and insulin sensitivity in bovine adipocytes and clarify the underlying mechanism. Our findings demonstrate that GH activates ERK/HSL signaling pathway, promotes lipolysis, and impairs insulin sensitivity in bovine adipocytes.

Study on the Excretion Behaviour in Romanian Black and White Primiparous Cows. Number of Defecations
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 The study was carried out on 9 Romanian Black and White cows in their first hundred days of lactation. The aim of this study was to measure the main aspects that characterized the excretion behaviour (defecation) of the cows in 24 hours that were divided
