THE VARIATION OF TRIIODOTHYRONINE (T 3) LEVEL IN MILKING COWS EXPOSED TO DIRECT SOLAR RADIATION

Very hot summers, during the last years, with intense solar radiation, determined us to study the effect of this radiation on milking cows. In the paper we have determined the level of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroid hormone, which varies in the case of cow’s organism exposure to heat stress. The determinations were made on two groups of ten milking cows per each, one group maintained in the stable for all the period and another on the pasture during the days with intense solar radiation. The determinations were made using RIA method, in Endocrinology Clinic in Cluj-Npoca, using the serum obtained from the blood drawn in the morning and evening. The results show a significant decrease of the triiodothyronine level in cow’s expose to direct solar radiation. These results are concordant with those in the literature

Modernity as Continuity: The Samurai and the Merchants in “Post-historical” Tokugawa Japan

In this article, I will briefly discuss the reinvention of the samurai and of the merchants,which began in the Tokugawa and then extended into the Meiji period; my assumptionis that both samurai and merchants played a crucial part in he advent of modernityin Japan, and that the thoroughness of the process through which they werereinvented is accounted for by developments from pre-modern (“post-historical”) Japan

Periodic solutions for nonautonomous second order differential inclusions systems with p- Laplacian

Using the nonsmooth variant of minimax point theorems, some existence results are obtained for periodic solutions of nonautonomous second-order differential inclusions systems with p-Laplacian
