Effects of Environmental Enrichment on Dog Behaviour: Pilot Study

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Environmental enrichment (EE) can be used to enhance the environment of various animals. The aim of this pilot study was to determine the effects of seven EE activities (Bonding, Bubble machine, Conspecific play, Interactive toy, Playhouse, Stuffed food ...

The productivity and financial impacts of eight types of environmental enrichment for broiler chickens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Reduced mobility in broilers can contribute to leg health problems. Environmental enrichment has been suggested as one approach to combat this through stimulating increased physical activity.

A Developmental Theory of Environmental Enrichment [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1977
The differential brain development induced by sensory enrichment or deprivation is most apparent in rats with low brain weights. These differences are hypothesized to represent the retarded development of environment-dependent neurons in the isolated animals.

Molecular dynamics simulation of surfactant induced wettability alteration of shale reservoirs

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2023
Shale oil has recently received considerable attention as a promising energy source due to its substantial reserves. However, the recovery of shale oil presents numerous challenges due to the low-porosity and low-permeability characteristics of shale ...

Capital Enrichment, Innovation Capability and Environmental Pollution Effect: Evidence from China’s Manufacturing Industry [PDF]

open access: yesNature Environment and Pollution Technology, 2020
In recent years, the issue of environmental pollution caused by the manufacturing industry has been widely criticized. To explore the relationship between capital enrichment and environmental pollution, the mediating effect model was constructed by using

Method for environmental noise estimation via injection tests for ground-based gravitational wave detectors [PDF]

open access: yesClass. Quantum Grav. 38 125005 (2021), 2020
Environmental noise is one of the critical issues for the observation of gravitational waves, but is difficult to predict in advance. Therefore, to evaluate the adverse impact of environmental noise on the detector sensitivity, understanding the detector response to the environmental noise in actual setup is crucial, for both the observation and future

Goal-oriented behavioural and environmental enrichment in aquarium species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Environmental enrichment is a common tool used in zoo and aquarium settings to provide mental and physical stimulation to animals under human care. This paper aims to present a primary approach to goal-oriented environmental and behavioural enrichment ...

The Effect of Environmental Enrichment on Laboratory Rare Minnows (Gobiocypris rarus): Growth, Physiology, and Behavior

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Environmental enrichment is a method to increase environmental heterogeneity, which may reduce stress and improve animal welfare. Previous studies have shown that environmental enrichment can increase the growth rate, decrease aggressive and anxiety-like
