By integrating the Raman micro-spectrometer with an environmental enclosure, RMS can be used for non-invasive monitoring time-dependent molecular changes in live cells and can provide on-line information regarding the cells and their phenotypic characteristics.
The instrument used for the applications described in this paper was based on an inverted microscope (IX 71, Olympus, Essex, UK) equipped with an environmental enclosure (Solent, Segensworth, UK) that maintains the live cells at 37°C and 5% CO2 atmosphere.
This, in turn, requires thermal control of large environmental enclosures with sub-millidegree single-point stability and control of temperature gradients to several millidegrees.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of access to an outside enclosure and environmental enrichment for dairy goats kept in slatted floor pens with low space allowance on their activity pattern and social behaviour.
To facilitate the understanding of the proposed methodology, a comparative LCA is performed, to determine the type of thermal insulating material in a double sheet ceramic façade and its thickness, which allows reducing the environmental impacts associated to the enclosure.
Understanding the fundamental source of such differences could enable reproductive success and behavioural normalcy to be improved in zoos and breeding centres, by increasing the appropriateness of the enclosure designs and environmental enrichments offered particular species, and by allowing these to be offered pre-emptively instead of reactively.
In Chepareria, land ownership and environmental change due to rangeland enclosures are forcing people to adapt to these new environments, and consequently, these adaptive actions are prompting changes in gender roles at the household level.
Here, we present a liquid enclosure (a micro-environmental chamber) for maintaining a wet environment, which can be used for the nanoscale imaging of labeled proteins in/on fixed cells in liquid state.
So I began my migration from the rigid enclosure maintained by the environmental white kids into the one sculpted by the youth of color.
Space station, an artificial structure placed in orbit and having the pressurized enclosure, power, supplies, and environmental systems necessary to support human habitation for extended periods.
Examples of successful environmental enrichment include the improvement of enclosure design, and the provision of feeding devices, novel objects, appropriate social groupings and other sensory stimuli.
