To Huddle or Not to Huddle: That is the Question. A Brief Study of the Basis for Huddling Behavior in Eulemur rubriventer [PDF]
, 2012 Common behaviors observed in primates may have important biological and social foundations. This study looks at huddling behavior in several groups of Eulemur rubriventer in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar, in order to compare the functions of ...

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 ...

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
