The fleeces of Merino ewes suckled by Awassi, Awassi × Merino or Merino lambs were analysed for the presence of contaminant fibres (pigmented, urine-stained and kemp). Contaminant fibres were transferred from the fleeces of all 3 lamb genotypes into the fleeces of their dams, with direct body contact being the principle method of fibre transfer. The pattern of the transfer between birth and weaning was highly variable, although there was a general trend of increasing amount of transfer with advancing lamb age, suggesting a continual cycle of transfer of fibres to the dam’s fleece and subsequent loss from that fleece. Indeed, the number of fibres transferred tended to decrease rapidly post-weaning, when the source of the contaminant fibres (i.e. the lambs) was removed. Shearing of Merino breeding ewes, regardless of the genotype of their lambs, (i.e. pure Merino or crossbred), should be delayed until 4 weeks post-weaning in order to reduce the number of contaminant fibres of lamb origin in their fleeces.

The study of dance can be summed up as the four Ps: patterning, partnering, pacing, and person. Patterning is about the intra- and interpersonal processes used in creating complex movement patterns in space and time. Partnering in dance involves the coordinated movement of multiple dancers, generally in defined spatial configurations, sometimes occurring through direct body contact. Next, pacing in dance refers to the synchronization of movement patterns with both musical beats and interaction partners. Finally, the person aspect of dance deals with how dancers are able to engage in acting by portraying characters in narrative forms of dance and to tell stories with their bodies in a wordless manner using iconic and affective gestures.

Impair Heat Transfer

Body-to-body contact is often recommended for rewarming mildly hypothermic victims in the field. This procedure involves a euthermic individual donating heat to the recipient by direct contact in an insulated bag. However, this technique has not been critically evaluated and may not be beneficial because there is limited direct contact between recipient and donor, peripheral vasoconstriction may impair heat transfer to the core, skin warming may blunt the recipient's shivering response, and cold stress to the donor may be excessive. The present study was designed to evaluate whether donation of heat by a donor would be sufficient to enhance rewarming of a hypothermic subject (recipient). Six pairs of recipients (5 men, 1 woman) and donors (2 men, 4 women) participated in the study. Esophageal and skin temperatures, cutaneous heat flux, and oxygen consumption were measured. Recipients were immersed in 8 degrees C water until esophageal temperature decreased to a mean of 34.6 +/- 0.7 degrees C (SD). They then were rewarmed by one of three methods: rewarming by the endogenous heat generated by shivering only (SH), body-to-body rewarming (BB), or rewarming with a constant-heat source manikin (MAN). Mean afterdrop for the three conditions was 0.54 +/- 0.2, 0.54 +/- 0.2, and 0.57 +/- 0.2 degrees C for SH, BB, and MAN, respectively (NS), and the rate of rewarming was 2.40 +/- 0.8, 2.46 +/- 1.1 and 2.55 +/- 0.9 degrees C/h for SH, BB, and MAN, respectively (NS).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Aims: Normally, the temperature increase of individuals leads to the possibility of getting a type of disease, which might be risky to other people such as coronavirus. Traditional techniques for tracking core-temperature require body contact either by oral, rectum, axillary, or tympanic, which are unfortunately considered intrusive in nature as well as causes of contagion. Therefore, sensing human core-temperature non-intrusively and remotely is the objective of this research. Background: Nowadays, increasing level of medical sectors is a necessary targets for the research operations, especially with the development of the integrated circuit, sensors and cameras that made the normal life easier. Methods: The solution is by proposing an embedded system consisting of the Arduino microcontroller, which is trained with a model of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) analysis for predicting Contactless Core-Temperature (CCT), which is the real body temperature. Results: The Arduino is connected to an Infrared-Thermal sensor named MLX90614 as input signal, and connected to the LCD to display the CCT. To evaluate the proposed system, experiments are conducted by participating 31-subject sensing contactless temperature from the three face sub-regions: forehead, nose, and cheek. Conclusion: Experimental results approved that CCT can be measured remotely depending on the human face, in which the forehead region is better to be dependent, rather than nose and cheek regions for CCT measurement due to the smallest
