An experimental investigation on different clay-based plasters with straw (lightweight plaster) and lime (stabilized plaster) was carried out. The aim of the study was to increase the knowledge on earthen materials in terms of final performance in building applications. In the first part of the study different thermal and hygric parameters were measured: thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, sorption capacity, water vapour permeability. Furthermore, in order to test the suitability of the unfired clay as mortar, an analysis on the mechanical strengths was carried out, measuring the compressive and the bending strength. The results show, on one hand, that when straw is added to the basic mixture a significant improvement of the sorption capacity occurs, while, the addition of lime enhances the thermal properties. On the other hand, no significant improvement of mechanical strengths can be appreciated when using these additives. Nomenclature

Abstract. Modern hog farrowing operations have reached a state in which the environmental conditions necessary for piglets are vastly different than those required by sows. A hog-cooling pad has been developed by Purdue University researchers to alleviate thermally-induced stress in the sow. Understanding the basic thermal properties of the device is critical to the development of the technology, and this article documents the experimentation performed on the unit to measure some of those characteristics. A preliminary experimental investigation into the thermal response of the device with no external heat loading under a variety of coolant flow and temperatures is presented. The sow-cooling panel reacts as a Newtonian convective device and provides a uniform top surface temperature. The results indicate that device is highly conductive to the top panel and reasonably well insulated from the environment.
