Op eieren lopen? De grillige dynamiek van de maatschappelijke aandacht voor innovatieve veehouderijsystemen in kaart gebracht
No full textDe intensieve veehouderij is geregeld onderwerp van heftige discussies in de Nederlandse samenleving. In het debat rondom de intensieve veehouderij spelen vele waarden, opvattingen en feiten. Veel burgers geven bijvoorbeeld aan dat ze dierenwelzijn en duurzaamheid belangrijk vinden en weren intensieve veehouderijen uit hun achtertuin. Tegelijkertijd stellen consumenten het belang van goedkoop voedsel voorop, en gaan boeren in de eerste plaats voor rendabiliteit. De beleidsmakers, tot slot, proberen de verschillen die er bestaan tussen burger, boer en consument te overbruggen. Tegen deze achtergrond wordt gezocht naar duurzame, diervriendelijke houderijsystemen die rendabiliteit en maatschappelijk draagvlak weten te combineren. Het Rondeel is een voorbeeld van een dergelijk duurzaam houderijsysteem
Disuse of the musculo-skeletal system in space and on earth
No full textMuscle mass and strength are well known to decline in response to actual and simulated microgravity exposure. However, despite the considerable knowledge gained on the physiological changes induced by spaceflight, the mechanisms of muscle atrophy and the effectiveness of in-flight countermeasures still need to be fully elucidated. The present review examines the effects and mechanisms of actual and simulated microgravity on single fibre and whole muscle structural and functional properties, protein metabolism, tendon mechanical properties, neural drive and reflex excitability. The effects of inflight countermeasures are also discussed in the light of recent advances in resistive loading techniques, in combined physical, pharmacological and nutritional interventions as well as in the development of artificial gravity systems. Emphasis has been given to the pioneering work of Pietro Enrico di Prampero in the development of artificial gravity systems and in the progress of knowledge on the limits of human muscular performance in space. © 2010 Springer-Verlag

Ingestive behavior ½ blood boer goats fed with hay of saltbrush.
Get PDFThe objective of this experiment was to evaluated the ingestive behavior of ½ blood Boer goats fed diets consisting of 8.4, 18.8, 31.2 and 48.3% hay of saltbrush, associated with spineless cactus ( Opuntia ficus ) added with urea and different concentrates of a base of corn and soy meal to make the diets isonitrogenous and isocaloric

The effects of situated visualized telepresence on task performance in gesture-based teleoperation
No full textThis paper introduces a method for gesture-based teleoperation where the human operator can virtually exist within the remote environment using mixed reality. The proposed method visually mixes the operator’s body with their perception of the remote environment, so that the operator is virtually present at the remote site. The idea is the that operator can interact with a remote task directly using their own body while relying on the motion-mimicking of the telemanipulator, rather than having to control the telemanipulator based on visual feedback to execute the task indirectly. This study aims to find out whether the direct coupling of the situated condition has a positive effect on task performance compared to a control condition where the operator perceives themselves and the remote environment separately. A prototype of a gesture-based master-slave teleoperation system was developed[1] using a two-dimensional camera feed of the remote environment¬¬. A human subject study was carried out where 26 novice participants executed a self-paced reactionary task in two dimensions, where they had to balance completion time with error rate. The task consisted of hitting a randomly spawning target 90 times by reaching out and coming back to the starting position. During the experiment, motion input was recorded along with timestamps of the spawns and the successful hits. The results showed an 8.4% faster completion time, a 16.7 % higher maximum input velocity, and a 44.2% lower error rate for the situated condition versus the separated condition. The participants also filled in a questionnaire, which showed that the majority subjectively preferred using the situated condition. For future research, this study recommends focusing on experimenting with different types of tasks, such as precision tasks and tasks of increased difficulty and complexity, as well as expanding the system to three-dimensional visual perception.
