Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to assess the influence of horse, saddle, and rider on saddle fit in racehorses by detecting pressure distribution using infrared thermography. In this study, 22 saddles used on 65 racing horses ridden by 21 riders were used. Data from horses including gender, breed, age, training intensity, and level of performance were collected. Type and mass of the saddle were also ob ...

Abstract:
... Detecting dogs with central sensitization (CS) secondary to chronic pain is hampered by the current inability to measure this condition. The current study aimed to use quantitative sensory testing (QST) to measure (CS) in normal dogs and dogs with painful degenerative joint disease (DJD). It was hypothesized that QST would differ between these two groups of animals. Mechanical and thermal sensory ...

Abstract:
... Female crickets (Gryllidae) often rely on the quality of male acoustic signals when choosing a potential mate. This quality can be determined by the frequency and temporal structure of the calling song, and both these characteristics are known to change as males grow old. In addition, female choice is influenced by call amplitude, which is primarily a function of the distance between a singing mal ...

Abstract:
... In age-structured stock assessments it would be useful to be able to include all available information on growth, including age–length observations and length increments from tagging experiments. However, it was suggested in 1988 that combing the growth information from these two sources was problematic because the age- and length-based growth information they contain are not directly comparable. ...

In this study, the estimated ages of PBF were validated by a novel use of post-bomb radio ...
