▼ Heat stress is the major issue accompanying climatic changes to all agriculture sectors. For the dairy industry, additional attention is paid, since high producing cows have lower thermal tolerance. This thesis presents the identification of temperature-humidity
index (THI) thresholds where milk production starts to decrease in Ontario and Quebec, the genetic parameter estimates for
heat tolerance in the Canadian Holstein population, and, the potential re-ranking of breeding values when accounting for
heat tolerance in the genetic evaluation model. Average THI thresholds of 68, 60, and 57 for milk, protein, and fat yield were identified, respectively. A negative genetic correlation between general additive genetic effect and additive genetic effect for
heat tolerance was observed, which shows the antagonistic relationship between production and
heat tolerance. Genetic variability for
heat tolerance, as well as substantial re-ranking of estimated breeding values were observed especially for high THI. Therefore, selection for
heat tolerance is possible and would be particularly interesting for environments with a high average THI.

▼ Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine heat acclimatization across a 4-month fire season in the western United States. Methods: Wildland firefighters (WLFF) (n =12) and non-WLFFs (n =14) completed a 60-min heat stress trial (treadmill walking at 50% peak VO2) in a climate controlled chamber (43.3°C, 33% RH) prior to and following the fire season (May through September). Peak VO2, body composition, core (Tc) and skin (Tsk) temperatures, heart rate (HR), physiological strain index (PSI), plasma volume change, sweat rate and perceived exertion (RPE) were measured during the heat stress trials. Results: Average peak VO2 was similar between groups (54.1 ± 1.3 and 57.3 ± 2.0 ml.kg-1.min-1, WLFFs and non-WLFFs respectively, p>0.05) and did not change over the season. During the heat trial, WLFFs demonstrated a season-by-time reduction in Tc at 45 and 60-min (38.3 ± 0.3°C vs. 38.1 ± 0.3°C and 38.5 ± 0.3°C vs. 38.2 ± 0.4°C at 45 and 60-min, pre- vs. post- season, respectively, p<0.05), and PSI for the last 30-min (5.6 ± 0.9 vs. 4.9 ± 1.0; 6.5 ± 0.9 vs. 5.8 ± 1.2; 7.1 ± 1.1 vs. 6.3 ± 1.3 at 30, 45, and 60- min, pre- vs. post- season, respectively, p<0.05), as well as a decrease in RPE (11.2 ± 2.1 vs. 10.2 ± 1.6, pre- vs. post- season, main effect for season, p<0.05). In contrast, there was no difference in Tc, PSI or RPE for non-WLFFs. Conclusion: WLFFs demonstrated less physiological strain with significant decreases in Tc and PSI despite no change in aerobic fitness (peak VO2), suggesting that heat acclimatization adaptations are accrued due to long-term environmental/occupational heat exposure.

▼ Athletic trainers must consider environmental conditions when making decisions concerning football practices. Those working in southern settings are faced with stressful environmental conditions often associated with the late summer and
early fall. Strategies to minimize heat stress include proper acclimatization, hydration, conditioning, heat illness recognition, and weather monitoring. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of exertional heat illness (EHI) in athletes
during a three month period (August-October) at five southeastern universities. The Heat Stroke Checker (KEM Kyoto Electronics Manufacturing Ltd; Japan) was used to measure environmental conditions three times a day at each location. The American College
of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and Department of Defense (DOD) Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) Heat Stress Index Charts were used to identify the levels of heat illness risk. Heat cramps, heat syncope, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and hyponatremia were
evaluated based on the NATA Exertional Heat Illness position statement. A reportable injury was any athlete who incurred a heat related illness evaluated by the medical staff. A total of 139 heat-illnesses were reported with an EHI rate of 4.19/1000
athlete-exposures (AE) during the three-month period. No cases of heat stroke or hyponatremia were reported. Evaluating each month individually, the greatest number of EHI’s occurred during August (88%) with an EHI rate of 8.95/1000 AE. During August,
the EHI rate was 6.31/1000 AE for heat cramps, 2.06/1000 AE for heat exhaustion and 0.58/1000 AE for heat syncope. Pearson correlations between the ACSM and DOD Heat Stress Index Charts and specific heat illnesses were not statistically significant
relationships (p>.05). In our study we found a higher heat exhaustion injury rate compared to the NCAA surveillance data possibly due to differences in EHI definitions and reporting mechanisms. The incidence of heat illness in the months of September
and October decreased dramatically, suggesting football athletes are at greatest risk of heat illness during August. Our data suggests that during the late summer, previously reported guidelines may overstate the risk of heat illness in highly trained
football athletes practicing with the southeastern United States. The development of regionally specific heat index guidelines is recommended.

▼ Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crops usually experience some type of environmental
stress during the season. Soil moisture deficits along with high temperatures pose the biggest constraints for crop productivity. Although usually hard to distinguish between drought and high temperature
stress effects, it is important to develop means to help mitigate the negative impacts of such stresses on crop productivity. The 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an ethylene antagonist that acts by binding to ethylene receptors, thus delaying and/or diminishing its effects on plants. Recently 1-MCP became the focus of several studies due to its potential to mitigate negative impacts of abiotic stresses. The main objective of this research was to assess the impact of 1-MCP on field grown cotton. The secondary objective was to investigate the association of canopy temperature (CT), canopy temperature depression (CTD),
stress degree day (SDD), thermal
stress index (TSI), and crop water
stress index (CWSI) with crop yield. Field studies were conducted at the Texas A&M University Field Laboratory in Burleson County, TX from 2012 to 2014. Plots were arranged in a randomized complete block design and replicated four times. Treatments consisted of 1-MCP application (25 g a.i. ha
-1) triggered by canopy temperature (28 °C) and forecasted ambient temperatures (35 and 27.8 °C). For the secondary objective treatments were two irrigation levels, namely, dryland and irrigated.
Results indicated that 1-MCP had little to no effect on the physiology and morphology of cotton at different stages of crop development. Daily plant canopy temperature, net photosynthesis, transpiration, and photosystem II quantum yield were affected by 1-MCP treatment when plants were irrigated, but not under dryland conditions. Effects of 1-MCP applications during different seasons were inconsistent. Ultimately, 1-MCP treatment effects were not enough to increase final seedcotton yield under the conditions tested. Negative relationships between yield and CT (r
2 = 0.66), yield and TSI (r
2 = 0.70), and yield and CWSI (r
2 = 0.58) were found. CTD and SDD showed great distinction between the humid (2012 and 2014) and dry (2013) years, and to a lesser extent, this was also apparent for CWSI. Evidence suggests that CTD, SDD, and CWSI models should be interpreted with caution, particularly in locations where great inter-annual weather variability occurs.

▼ Exertional Heat Illness (EHI) is a deadly but preventable disease. Interscholastic football players are particularly at risk for EHI, but there are no evidence-based guidelines for safety and acclimatization to prevent morbidity and
mortality. Thus, the purpose of this study was: to investigate the effect the new Georgia High School Association (GHSA) pre-season acclimatization policy implementation had on the total and significant (heat stroke/heat exhaustion (HS/HE)) injury rates
(IR), over the entire season and first two weeks of data ; to determine if IR’s by WBGT ranges during the first two weeks of data collection were significantly different in the time period before the policy change (Seasons 2009-11, PRE) when compared to
those following change (2012 season, POST); and to determine the effectiveness of current heat stress index scales (HSIS) and which mitigate risk for EHI events. There were a total of 761 EHI cases and 259,413 Athlete Exposures (AE) for an overall EHI
rate of 2.93/1000 AE (95%CI=2.73, 3.15). Risk for HS/HE was approximately 4 times greater for the entire data collection period (annual) for PRE [0.82/1000AE (95%CI=0.70, 0.95)] compared to the POST period, 0.22/1000 AE (0.12, 0.37)) and 7 times greater
for the first two weeks of participation for the PRE period [1.85/1000AE; (95%CI=1.54, 2.21)] compared to the POST period at 0.27/1000 AE (95%CI=0.09, 0.65)). The EHI risk was lower in the POST period than in the PRE period for the entire data collection
period [2.24/1000AE (95%CI=1.88, 2.65)] and 3.14/1000 AE (95%CI=2.90, 3.39, respectively) and first 2 weeks of data collection [1.22/1000AE (95%CI=0.75, 1.89] and 4.48/1000 AE (95%CI=3.98, 5.02), respectively). The Pearson correlation showed an r of
0.963 and an r2 value of 0.927 between WBGT and Discomfort Index (DI). The majority of the HSIS’s appeared to capture risk well. This study demonstrated mitigation in EHI risk following the policy change and that existing HSIS’s seem to adequately
stratify risk.

▼ The objectives of this study were: one, use electronic monitoring to determine feeding behavior patterns of grow-finish pigs throughout the year and to identify changes that occurred during
heat stress events, and second, identify genetic markers associated with changes in feeding behavior due to
heat stress. Pigs were placed in a grow-finish barn at approximately eight to ten weeks of age in 6 pens of 40 animals and monitored for 4-months. Gilts and barrows were from three different sire breeds, Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire. Each pen had one feeder, designed to feed 5 animals at a time. Feeders were fitted with an antenna and a multiplexer. Data were collected from antennas every 20 seconds. Outside temperature and humidity were obtained from a National Weather Station and used to calculate temperature humidity
index (THI). Days in the study were partitioned into groups based on their maximum temperature humidity
index (THI), where a THI less than 23.33°C was classified as “Normal”, a THI between 23.33°C and 26.11°C was classified as “Alert”, a THI between 26.11°C and 28.88°C was classified as “Danger”, and a THI greater than 28.88°C was classified as “Emergency”. Feeding behavioral differences among breeds and sex were observed across all THI categories. Landrace-sired pigs had fewer feeder visits compared to Duroc- and Yorkshire-sired pigs. Gilts had fewer feeder visits than barrows in all THI categories. A genome-wide association study for an animal’s change in feeding behavior between different THI categories was also conducted. Heritabilities for the difference in a pig’s feeder visits between each of the THI categories were low to moderate (0.136 to 0.406). Greater than 71% of genetic variation was explained by regions within eight chromosomes in the comparison between Danger and Emergency THI. Biological processes related to sensory perception and detection of chemical stimuli were over-represented in the set of genes located in these regions. Differences in feeding behavior patterns between THI categories demonstrate that
heat stress affects sire breeds and sexes differently. Also genetic markers identified in this study may facilitate genetic selection for improved grow-finish performance during elevated ambient temperatures.

▼ The objective of this study was to explore the genetic component of heat stress in U.S. Holsteins using national milk yield data consisting of 57 million first-parity test-day records of 6 million Holstein cows that calved from 1993 through
2004 and weather records from 202 public weather stations. Seven temperature humidity indices were compared in a humid and semi-arid climate for their ability to detect a decline of milk yield due to heat stress. The index with a higher weight on
humidity was the best in the humid climate. The index with a larger weight on temperature was the best heat stress indicator in the semi-arid climate. National genetic evaluation for heat tolerance was conducted using a repeatability test-day model.
Based on estimated heat tolerance PTAs, the 100 most and 100 least heat-tolerant sires were selected. For each of the 200 sires, official U.S. PTAs from February 2006 were obtained. Sires that were the most heat tolerant transmitted lower milk yields
with higher fat and protein contents than did sires that were the least heat tolerant. Daughters of the most heat tolerant sires had better udder and body composition, better type, lower dairy form, slightly higher TPI, longer productive life, higher
daughter pregnancy rate, were easier calving and had better persistency than did daughters of the least heat tolerant sires. Heat stress was evaluated as a factor in the genotype x environment interaction on milk production in the United States. Data for
the Southeast and Northeast were extracted from the national data set and analyzed separately. Two repeatability models with and without the effect of heat stress were implemented. Both models were fitted with the national and regional data sets.
Correlations between breeding values of sires with • 100 and • 300 daughters in two regions were calculated. When heat stress was ignored (first model), the correlation of regular breeding values between regions for sires with • 100 (• 300) daughters was
0.85 (0.87). Heat stress as modeled here explains only a small amount of genotype by environment interaction, partly because test day records provide only snapshots of heat stress over a hot season.

▼ <h2> </h2>
The link between thermoregulation, hydration status, and exercise performance in hot humid environments is controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of volume and temperature of ingested fluid on hydration status, thermoregulation and exercise performance. Recreationally active males (N=11, 24.7±5.9 years; VO2max=58.2±6.0 mL/kg/min) completed two 3-hour intermittent exercise trials in the heat (31o WBGT=35.5°C with 50% humidity). Participants consumed either 1 mL/kg body weight (BW) of room temperature water (35.5°C; ROOM) or 0.5 mL/kg of an ice slurry mixture (~0°C; COLD) every ten minutes throughout the trials in a randomized crossover design. Subjects walked on a motorized treadmill at 40% VO2max for 25-minutes followed by 5-minutes of standing rest after which a 1.6 km time trial was completed as quickly as possible on a non-motorized treadmill (Woodway Curve). After completion of the time trial, participants remained seated for the rest of the 1-hour time period. This series of steady state (SS) and time trial (TT) segments was repeated three times over each 3-hour trial. Core temperature and heart rate were monitored continuously throughout the 3-hour trials and used to calculate physiological strain index (PSI). Nude BW was measured pre and post to calculate sweat loss. Body weight loss was significantly higher for the COLD trial (2.2±0.7 and 3.0±0.8 % for the ROOM and COLD respectively, p<0.05). Total water loss was not different between the trials (1.2±0.2 and 1.2±0.2 L/hr, for the ROOM and COLD, respectively). Time trial performance was not different between treatments (ROOM: 9.7±1.3, 10.8±1.4, 12.8±2.4 min for hours 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and COLD: 10.1±1.6, 11.2±2.0, 12.8±2.6 min for hours 1, 2, and 3, respectively) but was impaired over time. These data suggest that it is not simply the volume, but the temperature of the ingested fluid that aids in thermoregulation.

▼ The main aim of this research work was to discuss the methods of identifying and control
heat in underground mine environments. The research contains three main sections as follow:1. Selecting an appropriate
heat stress index for underground mining applicationMethods: The aim of this research study was to discuss the challenges in identifying and selecting an appropriate
heat stress index for thermal planning and management purposes in underground mines. A method was proposed coupled to a defined strategy for selecting and recommending
heat stress indices to be used in underground metal mines in the US and worldwide based on a thermal comfort model. Results: The performance of current
heat stress indices used in underground mines varies based on the climatic conditions and the level of activities. Therefore, by carefully selecting or establishing an appropriate
heat stress index is of paramount importance to ensure the safety, health and increasing productivity of the underground workers.Conclusions: This method presents an important tool to assess and select the most appropriate
index for certain climatic conditions in order to protect the underground workers from
heat related illnesses. Although complex, the method presents results that are easy to interpret and understand than any of the currently available evaluation methods.2. Best practices in use of continuous climatic monitoring systems for assessment of underground mine climatic condition:Methods: Major
heat sources in an underground metal mine in Nevada was quantified using over one year of climatic data collection in both primary and auxiliary ventilation systems. Furthermore, auxiliary ventilation systems were examined in a development heading and a production area at our partner mine. Climatic models were developed and validated to simulate the climatic conditions based on intake airflow conditions and the
heat load along the ducting system. Considerations were also given to the fact that arsenic concentrations may be present at the face. Different scenarios were studied to design and optimize the auxiliary ventilation systems in order to minimize the
heat generated by multiple auxiliary fans and minimize arsenic concentration in the production workings.Results: The results show that the
heat generated by different major
heat sources can change throughout the mine as a function of surface temperature. Furthermore, current auxiliary ventilation design cannot maintain the comfort limits of the underground workers. In some cases, some type of cooling system must be utilized to retain the thermal comfort in production workings. Conclusions: In many instances, by simply adjusting or upgrading the auxiliary ventilation system in a problem area of a mine will effectively dilute the pollutants that are generated during production operations and provide adequate climatic conditions to the mine workers. This can be achieved through various methods such as: (1) extending the auxiliary duct towards the face, (2) installing an additional auxiliary fan to overcome the…

▼ Trinta e oito vacas leiteiras, 19 da raça Holandês e 19 da raça Girolando (½ e ¾), foram submetidas à elevadas temperaturas por restrição à sombra durante o período entre a ordenha da manhã e da tarde. Mensurações de temperatura retal, frequências respiratória e cardíaca e escore de ofegação, além de coletas de sangue, foram realizadas nos períodos pré ordenha. Produção de leite e características físico-químicas do mesmo foram acessadas. Durante os períodos de coleta se avaliou características ambientais com vistas a calcular um índice de temperatura e umidade (ITU). Primeiramente se buscou estabelecer diferenças em parâmetros fisiológicos, de leite e sangue de vacas com diferentes porcentagens de alelos oriundos da raça Holandesa no genoma (100, 75 e 50%) em função de aumentos no ITU. Animais puros Holandês apresentaram características que condizem com menor tolerância ao calor do que animais Girolando. Em um segundo momento se analisou o efeito
do estresse térmico sobre a permeabilidade das junções firmes das células epiteliais da glândula mamária de vacas Holandês. Além disso, buscou-se perceber alterações na estabilidade do leite ao teste do álcool decorrentes de um possível aumento na permeabilidade de tais estruturas celulares. O parâmetro utilizado para aferir tal efeito foi o nível sanguíneo de lactose no plasma. Alterações lácteas foram percebidas em função de aumentos de ITU e se devem principalmente à reduções em produção de leite. Aumento nos parâmetros fisiológicos não influenciou a estabilidade do leite. Leite instável apresentou maior teor de lactose. Maior número de dias em lactação pode ser o responsável pela redução na estabilidade do leite. Percebeu-se relação inversamente proporcional entre permeabilidade das junções firmes e estabilidade do leite, porém o estado de estresse térmico, ao contrário do esperado, não apresentou influência nas células da glândula mamária.
Thirty-eight dairy cows, 19 Holstein
and 19 Girolando (½ e ¾), were submitted to elevated temperatures due to shade deprivation between morning and evening milkings. Rectal temperature, heart and respiratory rates and panting score measurements, besides blood samples collection, were performed before each milking. Milk production and its physical-chemical characteristics were studied. Climatic variables were measured during data collection to calculate a temperature-humidity index (THI). Firstly, the study evaluated changes in physiological, blood and milk parameters according to the percentage of alleles derived from the Holstein breed (100, 75 and 50%) due to increases in THI. Pure Holstein cows presented characteristics that indicate lower heat tolerance than Girolando cows. Secondly, heat stress effects on mammary gland cells tight junctions permeability were evaluated in Holstein cows. Alterations in milk stability due to changes in permeability were also assessed. Plasma lactose was the parameter used to detect
changes in tight junctions permeability. Modifications in milk characteristics were probably due to reduction in…

▼ Background:
Heat health effects are an important public health problem in outdoor workers, including agricultural workers. Outdoor agricultural workers who perform heavy physical labor in hot conditions are at increased risk for developing occupational
heat-related illness.
Heat stress, under certain environmental conditions, has been reported to reduce worker productivity. Climate models project future increases in the frequency, severity, and duration of
heat waves. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize
heat stress and physiological effects of
heat stress (
heat strain) in outdoor tree fruit workers performing harvest activities in Yakima Valley, Washington, and to assess the relationship between
heat exposure and productivity in these workers. Methods: During the summer of 2015, 46 pear and apple harvesters from six orchards participated in a cross-sectional study in Yakima Valley, Washington for one work shift each during warmer periods in August (n=34 pear harvesters) and cooler periods in September (n=12 apple harvesters). All participants were paid by the amount of fruit harvested (piece-rate).
Heat stress and strain were characterized using American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH) guidelines, which recommend thermal Action Limits and Threshold Limit Values based on several factors, including environmental conditions, metabolic rate of task, and clothing ensembles.
Heat exposure was measured near individual workers using hand-held Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) monitors, metabolic rate was estimated using field observations and personal hip-mounted accelerometers, and research staff observed workers’ clothing. Heart rate and core body temperature were monitored over the course of the work shift using heart rate monitors and wireless ingestible core body temperature sensors. A computer-assisted self interview survey instrument captured other relevant demographic, individual, and work factors. The total weight of fruit bins collected per time worked was used to assess productivity. Effect estimates of the association between maximum work shift WBGT and productivity were estimated using linear mixed effects models with a random intercept for orchards, using Kenward-Roger methods for small sample sizes, adjusted for relevant confounders. Results: Surveys of workers indicated that 24 (52%) had experienced symptoms of
heat strain and
heat-related illness, and only 13 (28%) received training on working in the
heat. Of the 34 participants who worked in pear harvest in August, 25 (74%) exceeded the ACGIH Action Limit (WBGTeffective 25⁰ C), and 21 (62%) exceeded the Threshold Limit Value (WBGTeffective 28⁰ C) for the moderate work task (300 Watts) of harvesting. Using personal accelerometer data to estimate metabolic rate (n=39), 12 (31%) participants exceeded the Action Limit and four (10%) exceeded the Threshold Limit Value. Of the 12 participants exceeding the Action Limit, based on accelerometer data, nine (75%) exceeded the maximum heart rate (180-age beats per minute), and five (42%)…

▼ Extreme
heat is a hazard that is capable of causing
economic problems and potentially high mortality rates across
several regions simultaneously. This dissertation was designed to
provide a better understanding of how often and where
heat waves
occur within the United States. The research design assessed all
places equally in order to evaluate geographic variations in the
character of
heat waves. In order to simplify the variety of
extreme
heat events that occur, this research developed two
classifications; one for accumulated daily
heat stress and a second
for extended periods of extreme conditions (
heat waves). Both new
classification systems were designed to objectively categorize
individual events using a scale from 1 (minor) to 5 (extreme). The
heat wave classification system was applied to 70 locations for
years 1980-2001 to determine the frequency, magnitude, and duration
of daily
heat stress events and
heat waves. Hourly temperature and
humidity data were used to determine
heat index values, which were
accumulated to provide the daily
heat intensity measurement. Major
findings from this research include: how
heat stress distribution
is influenced by topographical relief variations as well as
latitude; daily
heat stress classifications during an event were
typically not in an intensify-then-weaken progression; Category 1
heat waves were the most frequent overall followed by Category 2
and Category 3
heat waves, however Category 5 events outnumbered
Category 4 events over the temporal period of this study; and
heat
stress days/
heat waves occurred most frequently in the Southeast,
with the fewest occurring in the Northwest. The classification was
also used to illustrate the extent and magnitude of the 1995
heat
wave that caused high human mortality in the Midwest. Results from
this research are presented in maps and tables to provide a
detailed insight on the characteristics of
heat stress throughout
the United States as a function of the exposure component of hazard
vulnerability.

▼ Two strategies to reduce impact of
heat stress on high producing dairy cows were examined. The first was to recalculate the temperature-humidity
index (THI) using high producing dairy cows under diurnal summer conditions. This re-evaluation confirmed that current THI values underestimate the severity of
heat stress levels. Therefore, cooling of dairy cattle during warm summer months should begin at a THI of 68. Previously, a THI equal to or greater than 72 has been used to define onset of
heat stress. This study demonstrated that a THI greater than or equal to 68 is sufficient to increase body
heat storage, respiration rate, skin evaporative
heat loss, declines in feed intake and milk yield. A second objective involved three studies carried out to evaluate use of niacin in dairy cow rations to improve evaporative
heat loss and resistance to
heat stress. Niacin is known to cause intense vasodilation in human and lab species. We hypothesized that increasing vasodilation would improve evaporative
heat loss in dairy cows. In the first niacin study, supplementation of lactating dairy cows with an encapsulated rumen by-pass form of niacin (NIASHURE™; Balchem Corporation, New Hampton, NY) at a dose of 12 g/d proved effective in alleviating some affects of
heat stress during mild thermal
stress. We hypothesized that encapsulated niacin would induce vasodilation effects documented in humans and lab animals increasing evaporative
heat loss. Past research demonstrated that the possible mechanism for vasodilation affects seen by niacin were most likely due to prostaglandin D secretions. Niacin may act through increased prostaglandin D and E production and secretion by Langerhans cells which then act upon vascular endothelial prostaglandin D receptors to increase vasodilation. No studies have evaluated impact of encapsulated niacin on milk yield and composition during periods of thermal
stress under commercial dairy conditions. The objective of the last study was to examine the effects of encapsulated niacin during
heat stress on milk production and composition as well as core body temperatures under commercial conditions.

▼ The objectives of the first study were to present statistics on the seasonality of calving and regional trends for days open (DO) across the US. Data included 8,676,915 records on DO for Holsteins from 1997 to 2002 covering all regions of
the U.S. Fixed effects in the model included herd, parity, milk-class, state´month of calving (MOC), year of calving´ MOC and parity´MOC. Least squares means of DO were highest for calvings in March and lowest for calvings in September. Distributions of
DO were bimodal for some months of calving; the second mode at > 200 d was highest in the Southeast but also could be observed in TX, WI and CA. High level of heat stress for DO exists in the Southeast and in selected states of the Midwest and the
Southwest. A second study investigated the effect of different editing of DO records on the genetic parameters of DO and pregnancy rates (PR). Data included first parity 305-d milk yield and DO records in eight states of the US. Days open upper limits
were set to 150, 200, 250, 300 and 365 d. A bivariate animal model for DO (or PR) and 305-d milk yield included fixed effects of herdyear, month of calving and age of cow, and random animal and residual effects. Genetic and residual variances for DO
changed up to 8 times as DO upper bound increased from 150 d to 365 d. Estimates of heritability for DO varied between 3 and 6 %. For most states, estimates of heritability for 150 and 200 d bounds were similar, and lower than estimates for bounds
>250 d. Heritabilities for PR varied by the length of the VWP. Records of DO > 250 d carry little genetic information whereas records < 120 d carry more or less information depending on management. In a third study, a reaction norm approach was
used to estimate the genetic parameters of DO with a model that accounted for heat stress. The reaction norm model included the effect of animal with random regression on a heat stress index (HI). Results indicated that all the estimated parameters
varied by month of calving. The results of a four-trait model based on calving seasons validated the reaction norm model.

▼ Dissertação de Mestrado em Engenharia Zootécnica
Os suínos são animais muito sensíveis a elevadas temperaturas. Em presença de elevadas temperaturas, acima da sua zona de termo neutralidade, eles accionam mecanismos fisiológicos e comportamentais que permitem facilitar as perdas de calor para o ambiente ou minimizar ganhos de calor do ambiente. A sua ingestão de alimento, bem como a sua performance reprodutiva são afectadas quando as porcas são expostas ao stress térmico.
Nesta dissertação, em primeiro lugar, foram determinados os dias que têm um maior impacto negativo na performance reprodutiva em duas linhas de porcas distintas, linha Yorkshire (linha D) produzida principalmente em climas temperados, e a linha Large White (linha I) produzida maioritariamente em climas quentes. Em segundo lugar foi estudada a relação dos dados de temperatura e humidade recolhidos na exploração e recolhidos em estações meteorológicas localizadas a diferentes distâncias da exploração. Em terceiro lugar, foi estudada a importância de novos parâmetros para implementar na estimativa de valores genéticos com a finalidade de aperfeiçoar a selecção de porcas reprodutoras baseada na sua capacidade de ingestão de alimento após o parto e na sua mobilização de reservas durante a lactação.
Com esta dissertação pode-se concluir que porcas sujeitas a elevados valores do Índice de Temperatura e Humidade (ITH) diminuem a sua performance reprodutiva traduzindo-se numa diminuição do tamanho da ninhada e da taxa de parto. A taxa de parto da linha D foi afectada significativamente pelo ITH, no entanto a taxa de parto da linha I não foi afectada. O maior impacto negativo do ITH no tamanho da ninhada foi registado 14 dias após a inseminação para a linha D e para a linha I foi registado 5 dias antes da inseminação. A linha D mostrou maiores quebras na performance reprodutiva que a linha I com o aumento do ITH. Dados de temperatura e humidade registados na exploração são mais precisos no estudo das quebras da performance reprodutiva associadas ao stress térmico, no entanto, a estação meteorológica mais próxima da exploração, até uma distância de 117 km, pode também fornecer informação útil para utilizar em estudos relacionados com o stress térmico. No terceiro objectivo, a classificação da ingestão de alimento após o parto mostrou ser um parâmetro interessante para usar no aperfeiçoamento da estimativa de valores genéticos sendo que foi claramente afectado pela temperatura e estação.
Pigs are very sensitive to high temperatures, when they are exposed to high temperature, above the thermo-neutral zone, they respond invoking physiological and behavioral mechanisms to facilitate heat losses to the environment or to minimize heat gain from the environment. Feed intake and reproductive performance are affected when sows are exposed to heat stress.
Firstly, it was studied on which day heat stress had the greatest impact on reproductive performance in two different sow lines, a Yorkshire line (D-line) producing mainly in temperate climates and a Large White…

▼ It was proposed that pigs arriving dead at an abattoir, or dying soon after arrival, had suffered from heat-stress during transport by road. A pre-study report showed that the majority of pigs that had died had been penned on the bottom decks of the truck and trailer units, with the greatest number having been penned in the bottom front pen of the truck crate. Consequently, temperature and humidity within a stock-truck, that transported pigs to an abattoir from two farms, were monitored over a three year period. A video camera was mounted in the bottom front pen to establish the behaviour of the pigs that were being transported. The videos produced were then used to establish the point at which open-mouth breathing (an indicator for stress) commenced, and whether this coincided with temperature/humidity index values in the pens. As a qualitative measure of transport stress, meat quality from pigs at different locations on the stock truck were measured and compared with results from a third 'low-stress' farm. A novel fan-driven ventilation system was designed and installed, and its impact was measured after insulation had been applied to the front wall of the stock-crate. The stock-vehicle design and the ventilation systems used in international stock transport studies, were compared with stock transport vehicles in New Zealand, and potential differences in the results from international studies with the current study were discussed. Despite the differences in vehicle designs, the current study suggested that the temperature/humidity levels recorded would under-pin the onset of heat-stress, particularly during the summer months in New Zealand. Unlike many international studies, evidence of conditions that would lead to substantial cold-stress, was not found.

▼ CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior
Este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar a existÃncia de estresse tÃrmico em vacas leiteiras mestiÃas adultas (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) criadas em clima tropical quente Ãmido no municÃpio de Pacatuba-Ce, durante o ano de 2006. Para tal, avaliaram-se os fatores climÃticos de temperatura do ar (TA) e umidade relativa do ar (UR), os quais foram utilizados para cÃlculo do Ãndice de temperatura e umidade (ITU). A intervalos mensais, utilizando-se grupos de 14 a 20 animais lactantes por cada mÃs, foram realizadas mediÃÃes diÃrias (manhà e tarde) da temperatura retal (TR) para cÃlculo dos Ãndices de tolerÃncia ao calor (ITC), quais sejam: o Ãndice de Baccari Jr., IbÃria e Rauschenbach-Yerokhin. CorrelaÃÃes entre variÃveis de ambiente, ITU, ITC e TR foram estimadas atravÃs do mÃtodo de Pearson (p < 0,05). Os resultados mostraram que durante o ano, e tambÃm no perÃodo do dia, os animais
estiveram sujeitos a diversas condiÃÃes de ambiente, porÃm, fora das suas respectivas zonas de conforto, principalmente quando se avaliou os valores mÃximos de temperatura, umidade relativa do ar e ITU. Observou-se tambÃm que as variÃveis de ambiente apresentaram cursos diÃrios e anuais inversos, com maiores valores no primeiro semestre e no perÃodo da manhà para a umidade relativa e maiores valores no segundo semestre e no perÃodo da tarde para temperatura do ar. As correlaÃÃes destas variÃveis ambientais com parÃme tros de ITU e temperatura retal mostraram que o ITU foi mais bem correlacionado com a TA (r = 0,84) do que com a UR (r = - 0,53). Os valores de TR apresentaram melhor correlaÃÃo com a TA (r =0,44) do que com a UR (r = - 0,50) e ITU (r = 0,31). Verificou-se ainda a existÃncia de uma fase de transiÃÃo correspondendo à Ãpoca de mudanÃa climÃtica entre os perÃodos chuvoso e seco, que esteve associada à elevaÃÃo dos valores de TR e, consequentemente, reduÃÃo dos valores de
ITC. O Ãndice de IbÃria mostrou-se melhor correlacionado (r = - 0,99; p<0,05) com os valores de temperatura retal. Portanto, foi observado que, durante o ano, os animais estavam sujeitos a condiÃÃes ambientais fora da zona de conforto, principalmente em funÃÃo dos valores mÃximos de temperatura ambiente, umidade relativa e Ãndice de temperatura e umidade. A avaliaÃÃo do ITU e ITC poderà se constituir uma ferramenta eficiente para identificaÃÃo da susceptibilidade dos rebanhos ao estresse tÃrmico
A study was conducted to evaluate heat stress tolerance susceptibility in adult crossbred dairy cows (Bos taurus x Bos indicus), raised in tropical humid climate, at the county of Pacatuba, Ceara state. The study was carried out in 2006. We determined air temperature and air humidity to calc ulate the temperature humidity index (THI) and rectal temperature (RT) of all animals were taken monthly in the morning and afternoon to estimate the index of heat tolerance (IHT), according to
the methods of Iberia, Baccari Jr. and Rauschenbach-Yerojhin. Number of animals varied from 14 to 20 per month. Correlations among…

▼ The first study estimates variance components for heat stress (HS) for the first three lactations using test day models. Repeatability (MREP) and random regression (MRRM) models included a random regression on a function of
temperature-humidity index. Regular genetic variance increased from the first to second parity but slightly declined in the third parity. Genetic variance of HS strongly increased with parity. With the MRRM, the variance of the HS effect was about half
of that of the MREP. The second study compares different computing options of preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithms for a large scale genetic evaluation using multiple-traits test-day random-regression models accounting for HS. Preconditioners
were: diagonal, block diagonals due to traits (BT), block diagonal due to traits and correlated effects (BTCORR), and BT with the random effects reparameterized for diagonal (co)variance matrices within traits (BTDIAG). When sufficient memory is
available, BTCORR was the fastest and the simplest to implement.

▼ CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Primeiramente objetivou-se determinar dentre nove equações do Índice de Temperatura e Umidade (ITU) a que melhor representa os efeitos do estresse por calor para bezerros leiteiros mestiços criados em ambiente tropical. Foram avaliados 12 bezerros, machos e fêmeas, com idade de 20 a 60 dias, criados no bezerreiro tropical. As frequências respiratória e cardíaca, as temperaturas retal, corporal superficial, de bulbo seco e de bulbo úmido foram quantificadas pela manhã e tarde. Calcularam-se nove equações do ITU. O ITU calor sensível foi o que apresentou as maiores correlações com as variáveis fisiológicas, portanto é a equação que representa os efeitos das condições meteorológicas no equilíbrio térmico de bezerros leiteiros mestiços em ambiente tropical. Na segunda pesquisa avaliou-se a influência das estações do ano e da idade sobre as variáveis fisiológicas e hematológicas de
bezerros leiteiros mestiços criados ao ar livre em ambiente tropical. Foram avaliados 42 bezerros, machos e fêmeas, no 2º, 15º, 30º e 60º dias de idade. As frequências respiratória e cardíaca, as temperaturas retal, corporal superficial, de bulbo seco e de bulbo úmido foram quantificadas pela manhã, e calculou-se o ITU calor sensível. Posteriormente coletaram-se três mililitros de sangue de cada bezerro para realização do hemograma. Dados do ambiente térmico do dia anterior à avaliação dos bezerros foram obtidos com o intuito de verificar se houve períodos cíclicos de estresse por calor. A temperatura media do ar variou de 19 °C a 22,1 °C, e o maior valor do ITU foi 68 no verão, durante o período da manhã. À tarde a temperatura do ar máxima variou de 27,5 °C a 29,7 °C. No outono, as frequências respiratória e cardíaca e a temperatura corporal superficial foram maiores nos bezerros no 2º dia de idade. A temperatura corporal superficial dos bezerros no 60º dia de idade foi maior na
primavera e no verão em relação ao outono. A temperatura retal manteve-se dentro da normalidade em todas as estações e idades avaliadas. As estações do ano não influenciaram no eritrograma e plaquetograma. Os valores de hemácias, VCM, CHCM, RDW, plaquetas e VPM variaram entre as idades. As estações do ano não influenciaram os valores de leucócitos, monócitos linfócitos e relação N/L, no entanto os valores de neutrófilos em bastonetes e eosinófilos variaram entre as estações. Os valores de neutrófilos em bastonetes e monócitos não foram alterados pelas idades, enquanto que os valores de leucócitos, neutrófilos segmentados, eosinófilos, linfócitos e relação N/L variaram entre as idades analisadas.
First, the aim of the study was to determine among nine temperature-humidity index (THI) equations, the one that best represents the effects of heat stress on crossbred dairy calves reared in a tropical environment. Twelve male and female calves, aged 20 to 60 days, and raised in a
tropical pen were evaluated. Respiratory and heart rates, rectal, body surface, dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures were…

▼ Heat stress occurs when the body cannot adequately cool itself due to the combined contributions of metabolic heat, environmental factors and clothing. Heat stress found in the workplace puts employees at risk of developing heat-related illnesses, disorders and could be fatal. The wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index is the current method used to assess environmental contributions to heat stress in an occupational setting. The purpose of this thesis was to explore whether the National Weather Service's Heat Index (HI) could substitute for the WBGT Index during occupational heat stress exposure assessment. The possibility of using the HI for heat stress exposure assessments was explored by first developing an occupational exposure limit based on the HI and then by comparing the HI to WBGT Index over a range of environments.
Data from 10 selected studies were reviewed and categorized into two groups (Classic Data and Progressive Data) based on the method used to determine the upper limit of the prescriptive zone. WBGT and HI values were estimated from the environmental data provided in the 10 studies and the metabolic demands were also noted. These data were used to illustrate the relationship between environment (WBGT and HI) and metabolic rate. Next the relationship between HI and WBGT was compared over a range of environments consisting of combinations of air temperature and percent relative humidity as defined by the NWS's Heat Index Chart. Finally the effects of adding a high radiant heat load (Tg = Tdb+10 °C) to the relationship between WBGT and HI was explored.
The HI occupational exposure limits were protective of the upper limit threshold points in a manner similar to WBGT. A greater spread in the Classic and Progressive upper limit data was observed above the occupational exposure limit when expressed as HI. High correlation was observed (R2 = 0.95) between the WBGT Index and HI over a range of environments, assuming no radiant heat. The incremental increase in HI due to high radiant heat indicated a strong dependency on the absolute value of HI, which makes using HI to predict WBGT in radiant heat environments problematic.
Findings suggest the Heat Index could be used to assess heat stress exposures and to set occupational exposure limits for hot environments in the absence of high radiant heat.

▼ Objectives: To determine the physiological strain on industrial workers under thermal stress on extended shifts. To continuously measure deep body core temperatures, heart rates, fluid intake, changes in hydration state and physical fatigue in order to establish acceptable levels of physiological strain. To develop a rational heat stress index compatible with these limits. To design working-in-heat protocols for a self-paced workforce. Methods: A series of studies was conducted over 77 shifts on a group of approximately 50 male volunteers working in thermally stressful environments. Continuously- recorded deep body core temperatures, heart rates, fluid consumption, urinary specific gravity and physical fatigue were measured and recorded. A new field protocol was developed to assess physical fatigue over the working shift. An original methodology was developed to allow any heat stress index to be assessed on a comparative basis with any other index. A review of the commonly used occupational heat stress indices was conducted. A new rational heat stress index was developed, based on existing biophysical relationships and recommended physiological strain limits of deep body core temperature and sweat rate. New protocols designed for self-paced work incorporating the significant risk factors for heat illness were developed and implemented in a workforce of approximately 2000 workers exposed to heat stress. The previous protocols used a shortened shift as the primary intervention to protect worker health. The subsequent protocols removed the shortened shift and replaced this with a range of other interventions. Deep body core temperature, heart rate, fluid consumption, hydration state and fatigue were measured before and after the changes in protocols.Results: Comparisons of heat stress indices confirmed the wide divergence in guidance provided by many of the commonly-used indices in terms of acceptable working environments. It also highlighted a number of serious shortcomings in the most widely-used indices, especially WBGT and ISO7933. A new, rational heat stress index called Thermal Work Limit (TWL) was developed. This included development of a computer model incorporating key thermal physiological parameters (deep body core temperature, mean skin temperature, sweat rate, skin wettedness). There was no increase in heat stress (as indicated by average workplace environmental conditions), deep body core temperature, mean heart rate, or changes in hydration status after the changes in protocols. Average environmental conditions were severe (WBGT 30.9° C, sd 2.0° C, range 25.7-35.2° C). Environmental conditions in the study were much hotter than those considered acceptable under standards such as the ACGIH. The results showed that miners regularly exceeded those limits allowable under most current indices in terms of maximum deep body core temperature (avg 38.3° C, std dev 0.4° C), maximum temperature rise (1.4° C, 0.4° C) and maximum heat storage (431 kJ, 163 kJ), without reporting any symptoms of heat illness.

▼ Climate change threatens to alter the current
distribution, productivity, and community composition of wetlands
in the Midwestern United States. Increasing rainfall variability
and rising temperatures will yield unique stresses for wetland
vegetation, including an increase in flooding severity and a higher
frequency of potentially harmful
heat events. This dissertation
explores the interactions and impacts of climate warming and
hydrologic variability on productivity, morphological plasticity,
reproduction, and functional composition within wetland
communities, followed by an evaluation of the connection between
wetland distribution and climate on a regional scale. Climate
warming led to depressions in productivity during the warmest
months while hydrologic variation consistent with climate
projections yielded decreases in spring production and peak
biomass. Reproductive allocation and other functional trait
differences suggested that the future climate will limit
productivity in many wetland ecosystems in the Midwest. A
distribution model based on Artificial Neural Networks projected
significant increases in flooding leading to wetland expansion
concentrated in the Midwestern Corn Belt and potential declines in
wetland area in Minnesota and northern Michigan. These results
suggest that, though wetland area is projected to increase for the
Midwest, without hydrologic management, many wetland systems are at
risk of community turnover and degradation resulting from a
shifting climate.
