Description and commissioning of a novel swine calorimeter unit to calculate heat production and net energy in group-housed pigs
… no differences in the estimated values for total heat production (THP) and NE among the 6-calorimeter chambers if all environmental and dietary conditions are similar. Results indicated that the NE of the diet had a coefficient of variation (CV) of 4.2 % among chambers. The second experiment …

Direct Quantitation of Heat Loss in Human Subjects Using Infrared Thermography
… temperature. This value is one variable used in heat loss equations which permits computation of radiant, convective, evaporative and total heat losses from subjects. The portable, non-contact, non-invasive nature of the IRT system makes it adaptable for use outside of the research setting. Heat …
