Tussen 11 januari en 20 mei 1996 is het vierde experiment uitgevoerd van het project 'Minimale transpiratiebehoefte in relatie tot het energieverbruik, productie en kwaliteit van glastuinbouwgewassen'. De doelstelling van deze proef was het vaststellen van de minimaal noodzakelijke transpiratie van komkommer voor een maximale productie met een goed...

In 2 experiments, digestible organic matter intake (DOMI) was studied in 26 adult male West African Dwarf goats given unrestricted access to feed or a restricted diet of pelleted lucerne, ranging from 50 to 140 percent of maintenance requirements. Four goats received ad libitum grass hay and 4 had ad libitum grass straw. Every morning, rectal tempe...
This NebGuide discusses energy requirements, feeding alterations, water requirements, hair and hoof implications, and shelter needs for horses during winter. As the weather turns cold, many horses are ridden less and less. It is easy to become relaxed in a horse's daily care since they are not being used as often. However, horses still require much...
This thesis describes several studies related to the three components of energy balance in elderly people: body composition, energy expenditure, and energy intake.Body composition. The applicability of the body mass index, skinfold thickness method, and multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance was tested in elderly men and women. The first two metho...
The measured basal metabolic rates (BMR) of present day Indian women were found to be comparable to published BMRs, measured in Indian women over 50 years ago, but 7 percent lower than present European/American women. This can possibly be due to differences in body composition or climate. Schofield's equation, used to predict the BMR of women in th...
This thesis describes the effects of weight loss and subsequent weight regain on body composition, fat distribution and resting energy expenditure in moderately obese men and moderately obese premenopausal women. Participants were subjected to a controlled 4.2 MJ/day energy deficit diet for 13 weeks, and re-examined more than one year after weight ...
This thesis describes the relationships between visceral fat accumulation and serum lipids, energy expenditure, and sex hormone levels in healthy obese men and premenopausal women undergoing weight loss therapy. The subjects, aged 27-51 years, with an initial body mass index of 28-38 kg/m 2, received a controlled diet for 13 weeks providing a 4.2 M...
This thesis reports on human energy balance in relation to seasonal changes in food availability of rural populations in developing countries.Body weight measurements were carried out every two weeks among Beninese subsistence farmers who live in two different climatological zones (one and two rainy seasons). Significant seasonal weight changes occ...
