Antioxidative Potential of Garlic on Lead-Induced Oxidative Stress and Effect on Enzyme Activity in Rice Plants
Authors: Oladimeji S Tugbobo , Kayode S Idowu , Oluwaseyi I Ajao
Published: April 2019

Seedling of Ofada rice (Oryza sativum L) were raised in sand (swampy) and clay (upland) cultures under 500mg/kg lead acetate and 500mg/kg garlic aqueous extract for 40-days. The uptake and distribution pattern of lead with possible induction of oxidative stress and likely alteration in the inherent antioxidant defense systems of the rice plants were determined. The inhibitory potential of garlic against lead-induced oxidative stress in rice seedling was also assessed. From the results, rice seedlings grown for 10-40 days under 500mg/kg lead acetate showed significant (P<0.05) increase in level of lipid peroxides in roots, indicating enhanced lipid peroxidation compared to control. However, incubation of garlic extract with supernatants of rice root and shoot caused a significant (P<0.05) reduction in the accumulation of lipid peroxides in a concentration dependent manner. In addition, there was a marked increase in antioxidant enzymes activities in lead acetate treated seedlings, where the shoot maintained higher defensive enzyme activity than roots. The results suggest that lead-induced oxidative stress could be salvaged by garlic extract and antioxidant enzymes are biomarkers for lead-induced oxidative injury in rice plants.
To kontekster - to skrivepraksiser? Skriving i skole og bedrift i fag- og yrkesopplæringen
Authors: Hellne-Halvorsen Ellen Beate
Published: April 2019

The topic of this article is literacy and writing practices in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). In Norway, TVET is organised as two years in school context followed by two years in enterprise. Based on a socio-cultural theoretical approach, the research question is: How is writing practiced in school and enterprise – as similar or as different practices? Writing skills are integrated in curriculum and part of vocational competences. Teachers and trainers are committed to work with and develop writing skills to students and apprentices. Different contexts may imply different writing practices by transfer and transformation from school to enterprises. My research shows that this is not the case, as writing in both contexts is mainly mediating learning outcomes from the school-based curriculum and not related to writing competences required in work life. The main purpose of writing practices is to assess and control skills and knowledge, related to vocational specific terminology and argumentation. Teachers and trainers appear to be main target group and not writing to different target groups in students´ and apprentices´ future working life as trained workers. These findings also indicate that generic or trans-contextual writing skills are not prioritized in neither of these contexts.
The process of transformation: Kegan’s view through the lens of a film by Wenders
Authors: Kokkos Alexis
Published: April 2019

The aim of this paper is the exploration of Kegan’s constructive-developmental theory through the analysis of the behavior of an agent within Wenders’s film Alice in the Cities, which is used as a case study. In the first part, we will approach Kegan’s ideas regarding the evolution of human beings’ consciousness as they move through five progressively more complex orders of consciousness. We will also approach the connections of Kegan’s perspective to Mezirow’s Transformation Theory. Then, we will draw insights from the film in order to expand the exploration of some crucial issues of Kegan’s theory, such as: How is a person’s consciousness developed? Are there signs, when a person is situated in a certain order of consciousness, that he/she has the potential to move toward a next one? Which might be the adult educator’s role in assisting the learners’ evolutionary process? Finally, in the last section, some limitations of Kegan’s perspective will be critically discussed.
Methods for Studying Magnaporthiopsis maydis, the Maize Late Wilt Causal Agent
Authors: Degani Ofir , Dor Shlomit , Movshovitz Daniel , Rabinovitz Onn
Published: April 2019

Late wilt, a destructive vascular disease of maize caused by the fungus Magnaporthiopsis maydis, is characterized by relatively fast wilting of maize plants closely before the physiological maturity stage. Previously, traditional microbiology-based methods have been used to isolate the pathogen and to characterize its traits. More recently, several molecular methods have been developed, enabling accurate and sensitive examination of the pathogen spread within the host. Here, we review the methods developed in the past 10 years in Israel, which include new or modified microbial and molecular techniques to identify, monitor, and study M. maydis in controlled environments and in the field. The assays inspected are exemplified with new findings and include microbial isolation methods, microscopic and PCR or qPCR identification, spore germination evaluation, root pathogenicity assay, M. maydis hyphae or filtrate effects on grain germination and sprout development, and a field assay. These diagnostic protocols enable rapid and reliable detection and identification of the pathogen in plants and seeds and studying the pathogenesis of M. maydis in susceptible and relatively resistant maize cultivars in a contaminated field. Moreover, these techniques are important for studying the population structure, and for future development of new strategies to restrict the disease’s outburst and spread.
Signal Strength Enhancement of Magnetostrictive Patch Transducers for Guided Wave Inspection by Magnetic Circuit Optimization
Authors: Wu Jianjun , Tang Zhifeng , Yang Keji , Lv Fuzai
Published: April 2019

Magnetostrictive patch transducers (MPT) with planar coils are ideal candidates for shear mode generation and detection in pipe and plate inspection with the advantages of flexibility, lightness and good directivity. However, the low energy conversion efficiency limits the application of the MPT in long distance inspection. In this article, a method for the enhancement of the MPT was proposed by dynamic magnetic field optimization using a soft magnetic patch (SMP). The SMP can reduce the magnetic resistance of the magnetic circuit, which increases the dynamic magnetic field intensity in the magnetostrictive patch during wave generation and restricts the induced dynamic magnetic field within the area around the coils for sensing during wave detection. Numerical simulations carried out at different frequencies verified the improvement of the dynamic magnetic fields by the SMP and influence of different affecting factors. The experimental validations of the signal enhancement in wave generation and detection were performed in an aluminum plate. The amplitude magnification could reach 12.7 dB when the MPTs were covered by the SMPs. Based on the numerical and experimental results, the SMP with a large relative permeability and thickness and close fitting between the SMP and coils were recommended when other application conditions were met.
A Machine Learning Approach for Solar Power Technology Review and Patent Evolution Analysis
Authors: Trappey Amy J.C. , Chen Paul P.J. , Trappey Charles V. , Ma Lin
Published: April 2019

Solar power systems and their related technologies have developed into a globally utilized green energy source. Given the relatively high installation costs, low conversion rates and battery capacity issues, solar energy is still not a widely applied energy source when compared to traditional energy sources. Despite the challenges, there are many innovative studies of new materials and new methods for improving solar energy transformation efficiency to improve the competitiveness of solar energy in the marketplace. This research searches for promising solar power technologies by text mining 2280 global patents and 5610 literature papers of the past decade (January 2008 to June 2018). First, a solar power knowledge ontology schema (or a key term relationship map) is constructed from the comprehensive literature and patent review. Non-supervised machine learning techniques for clustering patents and literature combined with the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling algorithm identify sub-technology clusters and their main topics. A word-embedding algorithm is applied to identify the patent documents of the specified technologies. Cross-validation of the results is used to model the technology progress with a patent evolution map. Initial analysis show that many patents focus on solar hydropower storage systems, transferring light generated power to waterpower gravity systems. Batteries are also used but have several limitations. The objectives of this research are to review solar technology development progress and describe the innovation path that has evolved for the solar power domain. By adopting unsupervised learning approaches for literature and patent mining, this research develops a novel technology e-discovery methodology and presents the detailed reviews and analyses of the solar power technology using the proposed e-discovery workflow. The insights of global solar technology development, based on both comprehensive literature and patent reviews and cross-analyses, helps energy companies select advanced technologies related to their key technical R&D strengths and business interests. The structured solar-related technology mining can be extended to the analysis of other forms of renewable energy development.
A Self-Deployment Algorithm for Maintaining Maximum Coverage and Connectivity in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks Based on an Ant Colony Optimization
Authors: Wang Hui , Li Youming , Zhang Liliang , Fan Yexian , Li Zhiliang
Published: April 2019

The self-deployment of nodes with non-uniform coverage in underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) is challenging because it is difficult to access the three-dimensional underwater environment. The problem is further complicated if network connectivity needs to be considered. In order to solve the optimization problem of sensor network node deployment, we propose a maximum coverage and connectivity self-deployment algorithm that is based on ant colony optimization (MCC-ACO). We carry out the greedy strategy, improve the path selection probability and pheromone update system, and propose a self-deployment algorithm based on the foundation of standard ant colony optimization algorithms, so as to achieve energy-saving optimization coverage of target events. The main characteristic of the MCC-ACO algorithm is that it fully considers the effects of the changes in the event quantities and the random distribution of the nodes on the deployment effect of the nodes, ensures that every deployed node can be connected to the sink, and achieves the matching of node distribution density and event distribution. Therefore, the MCC-ACO algorithm has great practical value. A large number of comparative simulation experiments show that the algorithm can effectively realize the self-deployment problem of underwater sensor nodes. In addition, the paper also gives the impact of changes in the number of events in the network on the deployment effect.
Reflective Fiber Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor for High-Sensitive Mercury Ion Detection
Authors: Chen Zhenlin , Han Kunlin , Zhang Ya-Nan
Published: April 2019

This paper proposes a reflective fiber mercury ion sensor based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) principle and chitosan (CS)/polyacrylic acid (PAA) multilayer sensitive film. By optimizing the coating parameters of the gold film, the refractive index (RI) sensitivity of the reflective SPR sensor is demonstrated to be 2110.33 nm/RIU. Then, a multi-layer CS/PAA film is fixed on the surface of the gold film as a mercury ion sensitive film to form a reflective SPR fiber mercury ion sensor. Experimental results demonstrate that the sensor can be used to detect different concentrations of mercury ions with a high sensitivity of 0.5586 nm/μM and good specificity and repeatability. Therefore, the reflective SPR fiber mercury ion sensor shows great promise for future applications of environmental monitoring and drinking water safety.
Improved Lycopene Production from Different Substrates by Mated Fermentation of Blakeslea Trispora
Authors: Sevgili Ayse , Erkmen Osman
Published: April 2019

The production of lycopene from different substrates by Blakeslea trispora in fermentation was investigated. Lycopene productions from 4 and 6% glucose (pH 6.5) in shake flask fermentation were 77.7 and 28.1 mg L−1. Increasing the glucose concentration to 6% resulted in a decrease in lycopene production by 36.2%. A maximum lycopene concentration of 944.8 mg L−1 was detected with 4% glucose supplemented with 1.0 % sunflower oil in fermentor studies. Lycopene productions in the presence of sunflower and corn oils in the fermentor were 12.2 and 11.1 times higher, respectively, then without oil from 4 % glucose in a shake flask. Lycopene production from orange peel was two times higher in the fermentor than in the shake flask. Zygospores of B. trispora are the morphological forms, which are responsible for the production of the lycopene. The highest level of zygospores was correlated with the highest amount of intracellular lycopene in the total biomass dry weight. The media containing only orange powder (1%) gave a 4.9 mg L−1 lycopene production in a fermentor. The biosynthesis of lycopene has been started in most cases simultaneously in the early growth phase even in trace amounts. Maximum lycopene concentration was obtained when the medium was supplied with sunflower and corn oils. There is an indirect relationship between biomass and lycopene concentration.

Published: April 2019

A new method was developed to analyze the surface count of fibers in a variety of environments. The method entails sampling surfaces with the help of suction to a filter cassette holder containing a cellulose filter. The filters were collapsed using microwave digestion in dilute acid, and the fibers filtered to polycarbonate filters, gilded, and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The method was compared to traditional gel tape sampling as described in International Standards Organization (ISO) standard 16000-27, following analysis with phase contrast microscopy. The methods were compared in industrial environments and in office-type environments, with the concentration range studied spanning from 0.1 to 100,000 fibers/cm2. The methods yielded similar results (p < 0.05) in concentrations from 100 to 10,000 cfu/cm2, while the filter cassette method gave systematically higher results in high concentrations (>10,000 cfu/cm2) as well as in all office-type environments studied, where the fiber count ranged from 0.1 to 20 fibers/cm2. Consequently, we recommend using the new method in working environments where the surface count is more than 100 fibers/cm2, as well as in office-type environments where the fiber count is below 10 fibers/cm2. It should be noted, however, that a similar limit of quantitation as with the gel tape method (0.1 fibers/cm2) requires sampling a minimum area of 100 × 100 cm2 with the fiber cassette method. Using the filter cassette method will require new guide values to be formed for office-type environments, since the results are higher than with the gel tape method. Alternatively, if present guide values or limit values are to be used with the filter cassette method, conventions as to which fiber sizes to count should be set, since SEM analysis in any case will allow for including a larger size range than phase contrast microscopy (PM). We, however, recommend against such an approach, since fibers less than 1 µm in width may not be less harmful by inhalation than larger fibers.

Published: April 2019

Background: Epidemiological studies have suggested a possible correlation between nutritional factors and gastrointestinal diseases. Methods: A case–control study was designed in order to investigate if functional foods consumption and Mediterranean diet adherence have a positive effect in ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. In total, 142 patients (cases) and 147 gender-matched healthy people (controls) participated in the study. Functional food consumption was screened by using a Food Frequency Questionnaire based on the NHANES study, while Mediterranean diet adoption was evaluated by a 14-item Med Diet Assessment tool based on the PREDIMED study. The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS-22. Results: In the previous 2–3 years, the controls had more frequently consumed some categories (probiotics, prebiotics-enriched, and low-fat foods) and some kinds of functional foods (mountain tea, berries, pomegranate, oats, mastics, turmeric, soybeans, and raisins) compared to the cases (p < 0.05). Healthy people were more adherent to the Mediterranean diet than patients (p < 0.05). A multifactor analysis showed that the augmented score of the Mediterranean diet and the augmented consumption of categories and kinds of functional foods were protective factors in the appearance of gastrointestinal diseases. Conclusions: More studies should be conducted in order to further investigate the possible association between specific food components and gastrointestinal diseases’ pathophysiology.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by hyperproliferation of the epidermal cells and is clinically presented as thick, bright red to pink plaques with a silvery scale. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using visible light has become of increasing interest in the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. In this study, we demonstrate that a combination of curcumin-loaded chitosan/alginate nanoparticles (Cur-CS/Alg NPs) and blue light emitting diodes (LED) light irradiation effectively suppressed the hyperproliferation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-induced cultured human kerlatinocyte (HaCaT) cells. The Cur-CS/Alg NPs were fabricated by emulsification of curcumin in aqueous sodium alginate solution and ionotropic gelation with calcium chloride and chitosan using an optimized formulation derived from a Box-Behnken design. The fabricated Cur-CS/Alg NPs were characterized for their particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, and loading capacity. The surrogate 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, to measure the relative number of viable cells, showed that the CS/Alg NPs were nontoxic to normal HaCaT cells, while 0.05 µg/mL and 0.1 µg/mL of free curcumin and Cur-CS/Alg NPs inhibited the hyperproliferation of HaCaT cells induced by TNF-α. However, the Cur-CS/Alg NPs demonstrated a stronger effect than the free curcumin, especially when combined with blue light irradiation (10 J/cm2) from an LED-based illumination device. Therefore, the Cur-CS/Alg NPs with blue LED light could be potentially developed into an effective PDT system for the treatment of psoriasis.
Convenient and Efficient Fabrication of Colloidal Crystals Based on Solidification-Induced Colloidal Assembly
Authors: Shao Ting , Sun Laixi , Yang Chun , Ye Xin , Chen Shufan , Luo Xuan
Published: April 2019

The simple yet efficient and versatile fabrication of colloidal crystals was investigated based on the solidification-induced colloidal crystallization process with particle/water suspension as precursor. The resulting colloidal crystals were constituted by crystal grains with sizes ranging from several tens of micrometers to a few millimeters. Each of the grains had a close-hexagonal array of colloids, which endowed the bulk colloidal crystal powders with some specific optical properties. The freezing of water was shown as the major driving force to form colloidal crystal grains, which supersaturated the solution with nanoparticles and thus induced the formation and growth of colloidal crystal seeds. This process is intrinsically different from those conventional methods based on shearing force, surface tension, columbic interaction or magnetic interaction, revealing a new strategy to fabricate colloidal crystals in a convenient and efficient way.

The paper presents ongoing research in contrastive corpus linguistics with envisaged applications in machine translation (MT) and with focus on Google Translate (GT) performance in English-Bulgarian translation. Structural patterns, forms or expressions where automatic translation fails are identified and analysed in view of creating a GT-editing tool providing improved target language output. The paper presents the corpus and the corpus analysis method applied, including the identification of inacceptable string types, their structural analysis and categorization. For each failure type, pre- or post-GT editing transformations are proposed. A first outline is proposed of a GT-editing tool consisting of a pre-GT editor performing string identification, substitution or deletion operations, a post-GT editor with a set of more complex string transformation rules and an additional module transferring structural information.
Model Komunikasi Interpersonal Orangtua terhadap Anak Autis

Published: April 2019

Communication has an important role in human life, since childhood, humans have  communicated through the presence of parents. The role of parents greatly determines the process of developing communication in a child. But not all children are born in a normal state, including those who are blessed with a child with special needs such as autism. Even though every child has the potential in him, if he is not aware and cared for, it causes self-distrust in the child, a slow process of self-development, and some problems that are generally found in children with autistic disorders are in the social and communication aspects that are very lacking or slow . This paper focuses on discussing the model of interpersonal communication in developing the self potential of autistic disorder children. With document study methods that utilize various related research literature, as well as analytical techniques carried out by organizing and reducing data, then categorizing data, formulating to draw conclusions. The results of this paper indicate that many communication models must adapt to the characteristics of autistic disorders experienced by each child.

“Elektromagnetik” adalah salah satu mata pelajaran Fisika yang diajarkan di SMK. Materi ini sangat berguna untuk siswa karena banyak penerapan yang dapat dilakukan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Permasalahan yang muncul adalah siswa yang masih sulit memahami materi elektromagnetik dan rumus-rumus terkait, serta membayangkan cara menerapkan materi elektromagnetik dalam kehidupan sehari-hari karena sistem belajar mengajar di sekolah yang menggunakan media konvensional seperti presentasi power point, buku, papan tulis, dan alat peraga. Untuk mengatasinya, dibuat media aplikasi multimedia pembelajaran yang dilengkapi dengan berbagai fitur. Aplikasi ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kemudahan untuk siswa dalam memahami materi dan rumus-rumus terkait, serta membayangkan cara menerapkan materi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Proses pembuatan aplikasi pembelajaran melalui penelitian dengan metode waterfall yang dimulai dengan mengumpulkan data. Data tersebut akan digunakan untuk merangkum permasalahan yang ada dan menentukan kebutuhan sistem aplikasi multimedia yang akan dibuat. Aplikasi ini melewati proses uji coba untuk memastikan aplikasi pembelajaran sudah bebas dari error (verifikasi) dan sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengguna (validasi). Validasi dilakukan dengan cara melakukan wawancara kepada tiga orang guru fisika SMK ‘X’ dan menyebarkan kuisioner kepada 20 orang siswa terkait dengan kemanfaatan aplikasi. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan melakukan pre-test dan post-test kepada 20 orang siswa. Soal yang digunakan untuk melakukan pre-test dan post-test diacak dari bank soal, masing-masing 10 soal untuk pre-test dan 10 soal untuk post-test. Hasil uji coba menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi pembelajaran dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam memahami materi elektromagnetik dan rumus-rumus terkait, serta membantu memudahkan guru dalam penyampaian materi elektromagnetik. Hal ini terlihat dari adanya peningkatan sebesar 100% dari jumlah siswa yang mampu mengerjakan lebih banyak soal post-test dengan benar.

Authors: Setiadi Tedy , Jamaludin Jamaludin
Published: April 2019

Perguruan Pencak Silat PSHT saat ini memiliki ratusan siswa dengan berbagai latar belakang dan kemampuan yang berbeda. Selama ini pelatih dalam penentuan jenis latihan pencak silat di PSHT hanya menggunakan perkiraan intuisi semata, akibatnya sering terjadi ketidaksesuaian antara calon siswa dengan jenis latihan yang diikuti. Kondisi ini menyebabkan siswa sering tidak bisa maksimal dalam berlatih, disamping berdampak prestasi siswa tidak optimal dalam kompetisi. Dalam penelitian ini telah dikembangkan aplikasi untuk memprediksi jenis latihan siswa berdasarkan karakteristik yang sesuai menggunakan klasifikasi Naive Bayes. Aplikasi ini diharapkan dapat membantu pelatih dalam meningkatkan kemampuan siswa sesuai karakteristiknya sehingga mampu meningkatkan prestasinya. Hasil pengujian menggunakan confussion matrix, dengan 400 data training dan 20 data testing menghasilkan nilai presisi sebesar 95 %, nilai akurasi sebesar 95 % dan nilai recall sebesar 98%.

Pada bulan Juni 2017, dilakukan survei terhadap 44 orang tua yang bekerja dan pengguna smartphone di Pekanbaru, diketahui bahwa orang tua membutuhkan aplikasi untuk memantau keberadaan anak, namun belum ada orang tua yang menggunakannya. Pada penelitian ini dikembangkan aplikasi yang dapat memantau keberadaan anggota keluarga yang menerapkan konsep Context-Aware dimana penalaran yang digunakan adalah rules. Ada 3 rules yang digunakan dimana ketika rules terpenuhi maka akan memunculkan notifikasi kepada pengguna. Aplikasi ini dikembangkan pada platform Android dengan menggunakan bahasa pemrograman Java, IDE Android Studio, dan Firebase sebagai database. Dilakukan 3 pengujian pada penelitian ini, pertama pengujian fungsionalitas yang dilakukan dengan metode blackbox dengan mengacu pada standar ISO 9126-2, dimana diperoleh bahwa aplikasi berfungsi dengan benar, diimplementasikan sesuai spesifikasi, dan fitur sesuai dengan tugasnya yang artinya secara fungsional aplikasi sudah berkualitas baik. Kedua adalah pengujian aplikasi kepada 5 keluarga untuk membuktikan context-aware berjalan semestinya. Dari hasil uji context-aware yang dilakukan diperoleh bahwa context-aware sudah berjalan dengan baik yang dibuktikan dengan notifikasi yang sesuai dengan rules context-aware dan setiap keluarga dapat memantau lokasi dan waktu kegiatan setiap anggota keluarga secara realtime. Ketiga adalah pengujian performansi, dimana diperoleh bahwa semakin banyak aktivitas dikerjakan semakin besar memori digunakan. Penggunaan CPU tidak bergantung pada aktivitas dan penggunaan data pada aktivitas yang sudah pernah berjalan akan lebih kecil dibanding pertama kali dijalankan.

Center manifold approximations for the 1D Landau‐Devonshire and 3D Falk‐Konopka models are applied to modelling phase transitions in shape memory alloys. The methodology, allowing a systematic improvement of mathematical models for phase transitions and hysteresis phenomena, is explained, and typical computational results with such low‐dimensional models are presented.
Lathyro asphodeloidis-Klaseetum lycopifoliae, a new plant association in the alliance Cynosurion cristati Tüxen, 1947 in Central Apennines
Authors: Ciaschetti Giampiero , Pirone Gianfranco
Published: April 2019

This study presents a new plant association discovered in the Central Apennines and named Lathyroasphodeloidis-Klaseetumlycopifoliae. It consists of a semi-natural meadow characterized by the co-dominance of two rare taxa, Klasealycopifolia and Lathyruspannonicussubsp.asphodeloides, occurring in Italy in only a few localities in the Central and Northen Apennines. The association was discovered on the Altopiano delle Rocche high plateau in the province of L’Aquila (Abruzzo region, Italy).

Multivariate analysis of the relevés shows two floristic and ecological aspects, corresponding to two different subassociations: festucetosum circummediterraneae, with elements from the Festuco-Brometea class, growing in the outer portions of the plateau, and narcissetosum poëtici, corresponding to the most typical aspect and occupying the central part of the plateau, differentiated by meso-hygrophilous species of the Molinietalia and Trifolio-Hordeetalia orders.

The plant association has great natural value, due to the presence of several rare plant species, and cultural importance in association with the traditional “Narcissus Fest” held each year in May.
Evaluation of the cooling efficacy of different equine leg cooling methods
Authors: Marlin D.J.
Published: April 2019

The use of cold therapy or cryotherapy is widespread in human and veterinary medicine and sports medicine and ranges from focal, localised treatment to whole body treatment. In equestrian sport, a variety of methods and commercial products exist for cooling the lower limbs. To date, there have been no studies comparing the relative efficacy of these different cooling methods. Due to the difficulty in standardising techniques for comparing cooling on live horses, a repeatable laboratory method for determining cooling efficacy was developed using a metal flask. The amount of heat removed from the flask by different traditional methods (corrected for the heat lost over 30 min for the flask without treatment) and a variety of commercial cooling products was calculated by measuring the decrease in temperature (in triplicate) within the flask from an initial external temperature of 40.2±0.4 °C and an internal temperature of 42.1±0.9 °C (mean ± standard deviation) over 30 min. The methods compared were: cold hosing (15 °C), standing in ice and water (0 °C), ice-cube packs, instant cold-packs, ice boots, evaporative (water) cooled boots, ice gel and clay. The greatest amount of heat removed in 30 min was 134±4 kJ for standing in ice & water (0 °C). The next highest rates of removal were 66.4±1.3, 57.1±6.1 and 56.9±1.3 kJ for cold hosing (15 °C), Ice Horse (-23 °C) and Cryochaps (-23 °C), respectively. The lowest amount of heat removed was for covered clay (8±1 kJ; initial clay temperature 15 °C). This approach allows different methods of cooling to be compared without the difficulties encountered in standardisation in live horses.
