Daily Changes Research Articles

Energy expenditure, metabolic adaptation, physical activity and energy intake following weight loss: comparison between bariatric surgery and low-calorie diet.

Bariatric surgery remains the most effective treatment to achieve substantial weight loss; however, total daily energy expenditure and physical activity changes in response to such interventions have been seldom explored. In this prospective observational study, total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) using doubly labeled water and physical activity (SenseWear armband) was assessed in 17 females (mean ± SD: 48.6 ± 9.7 kg/m2, 43 ± 12 years) at baseline and 8 and 52 weeks following either bariatric surgery (BSG, N = 9) or a low-calorie diet (LCD, N = 8). Energy intake was assessed using the intake-balance method. After 8 weeks, weight loss was 16.0 ± 3.5 kg and TDEE decreased by 552 ± 319 kcal/d in BSG (P < 0.001) compared to 8.8 ± 3.4 kg and 256 ± 239 kcal/d in LCD (P < 0.05). After 52 weeks, weight loss was 44.3 ± 16.4 kg and TDEE decreased by 583 ± 418 kcal/d (P < 0.001), compared to 4.3 ± 6.7 kg and 84 ± 285 kcal/d in LCD (P > 0.05). TDEE was lower than predicted in BSG at 8 (P = 0.03) but not 52 weeks (P = 0.77). There was no evidence of metabolic adaptation in LCD. Average daily energy intake in BSG was 1403 ± 245 kcal/d compared to 2545 ± 398 kcal/d in LCD (P < 0.001). In BSG, step count and physical activity minutes were increased at 52 weeks compared to baseline (P = 0.03), whereas no significant changes were observed in LCD. Bariatric surgery-induced weight loss decreased TDEE at 8 weeks and 1 year, resulting in metabolic adaptation after 8 weeks that was reversed at 1 year. These changes were accompanied by an increase in physical activity.

Dry eye disease – how our lifestyle choices can affect the disease?

Introduction: In today’s world, we know how important it is to keep healthy habits because many diseases begin with daily lifestyle choices. Dry eye disease is a disease of the ocular surface and there are many risk factors, that lead to developing this disorder. As the possible factors we can underline deficiency of vitamin D or Omega-3 fatty acids, lack of physical exercise, long screen time, or smoking tobacco. Aim of the study: This review seeks to highlight the issue of dry eye disease linked to everyday routines by examining clinical trial outcomes. Furthermore, it offers an analysis of potential strategies to prevent ocular alterations by critically evaluating the existing data. State of knowledge: The listed lifestyle choices cause a higher risk of developing dry eye disease and affect ocular health on many levels, leading to unpleasant feelings and affecting people’s lives. However, with some lifestyle changes, the risk of developing this disease can be decreased, and negative symptoms can be minimized. It is important to remember vitamin D, and Omega-3 supplementation, daily physical activity, minimalization of the time spent in front of the visual display terminals, and quitting smoking. Conclusions: Many daily habits are connected to developing dry eye disease, and it is very important to remember about the small daily changes, which can decrease the risk of the disease.

Using functional shocks to assess conventional and unconventional monetary policy in Canada

AbstractWe develop a new series of Canadian monetary policy shocks for the time period 1986 to 2023. Our shocks are constructed as the daily change in the Nelson–Siegel yield curve factors on days of monetary policy events such as announcements of the short‐run policy rate and speeches by Bank of Canada officials. This allows us to look at both conventional and unconventional monetary policy. We find that tighter monetary policy lowers inflation and GDP. Monetary policy shocks, however, often twist the yield curve, potentially offsetting changes in the short‐run policy rate. Finally, speeches also tend to move the yield curve with similar effects on inflation and GDP as formal policy announcements.

The meaning of organizational culture and structure for interprofessional collaboration

Abstract In Germany, early neurological rehabilitation (ENR) acts as a link between acute inpatient care and rehabilitation, aiming to restore patients’ ability to rehabilitate amid their complex clinical conditions. Interprofessional cooperation (IPC) is crucial for harmonized treatment due to patients’ vulnerability. An interprofessional team comprising medical, nursing, and various therapy professionals is essential for this purpose. To explore the meaning of organizational culture and structure to IPC, 15 group discussions in 5 clinics were conducted with n = 76 participants. 1. Weekly team meetings are used to coordinate treatment goals and outcomes, but their implementation varies from clinic to clinic. Two types of meetings were identified: those that focus primarily on billing compliance and others that address patients’ long-term perspectives. However, both require additional social service involvement and are not sufficient to adequately address daily tasks, requiring additional IPC coordination. Some clinics have therefore introduced daily meetings to improve the coordination of IPC tasks. 2. Therapy planning and therapist assignment shape IPC and task fulfillment. Three therapy planning methods were observed: centralized, block-based, and flexible, each with different therapist allocation strategies. Centralized planning with flexible allocation leads to appointment pressure and interprofessional communication challenges. Block therapy reduces therapist turnover and promotes better interprofessional coordination in patient care. Flexible therapy planning is conducted through daily interprofessional meetings with shared task allocation and planning leads to a shared understanding. Initial analysis underscores the meaning of organizational structure on interprofessional task fulfillment in ENR, emphasizing the importance of enhancing different cooperation formats which can balance stability and flexibility and integrate social services effectively in patientcare. Key messages • Morning interprofessional meetings on the ward facilitate flexible responses to daily changes in patients’ health conditions and promote interprofessional collaboration. • The consideration of occupational group-specific processes in ward organization is a necessary structural prerequisite for successful interprofessional collaboration.

Lifestyle changes and psychological anxiety during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic: Using the Korean Community Health Survey

This study investigated changes in lifestyles and psychological anxiety among Koreans during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic using the 2020 data from the nationwide Korean Community Health Survey. The study outcomes were psychological anxiety about the infection and death, due to COVID-19. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the relationship between psychological anxiety and lifestyle changes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people who practiced healthy behaviors and followed social distancing and quarantine regulations experienced increased psychological anxiety for infection and death. Daily life changes during the COVID-19 pandemic were not associated with psychological anxiety. The result of this study can provide baseline measures for further study on psychological anxiety during re-infection of COVID-19 and future pandemics in Korea.

Changes in Skin Barrier Function in Neonates: Daily Variation and Impact of Bathing.

The skin barrier function is an important predictor of neonatal barrier defects. This study aimed to investigate the daily changes in skin barrier function and the impact of bathing on skin barrier function in neonates. We assessed the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and stratum corneum hydration (SCH) on the forehead, cheek, volar forearm, and chest from days 2 to 7 and at 1 month after birth. Additionally, we measured the values after bathing and compared them with the pre-bathing values. Sixty-six neonates were involved in the assessment, and each value at the four sites showed significant correlations. TEWL remained stable between days 2 and 7, but SCH significantly increased at most sites. Both significantly increased by 1.5-2 times in 1 month. After bathing, TEWL increased by more than 20% but decreased again after 3 h. TEWL did not change significantly with age during the first week of life. To minimize the effects of bathing, TEWL should be measured at least 3 h after bathing.

HAMSTER: Hyperspectral Albedo Maps dataset with high Spatial and TEmporal Resolution

Abstract. Surface albedo is an important parameter in radiative-transfer simulations of the Earth's system as it is fundamental for correctly calculating the energy budget of the planet. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites continuously monitor daily and yearly changes in reflection at the planetary surface. The MODIS Surface Reflectance Black-Sky Albedo dataset (version 6.1 of MCD43D) provides detailed albedo maps for seven spectral bands in the visible and near-infrared range. These albedo maps allow us to classify different Lambertian surface types and their seasonal and yearly variability and change, albeit only into seven spectral bands. However, a complete set of albedo maps covering the entire wavelength range is required to simulate radiance spectra and correctly retrieve atmospheric and cloud properties from remote sensing observations of the Earth. We use a principal component analysis (PCA) regression algorithm to generate hyperspectral albedo maps of the Earth. By combining different datasets containing laboratory measurements of hyperspectral reflectance for various dry soils, vegetation surfaces, and mixtures of both, we reconstruct albedo maps across the entire wavelength range from 400 to 2500 nm. The PCA method is trained with a 10-year average of MODIS data for each day of the year. We obtain hyperspectral albedo maps with a spatial resolution of 0.05° in latitude and longitude, a spectral resolution of 10 nm, and a temporal resolution of 1 d (day). Using the hyperspectral albedo maps, we estimate the spectral profiles of different land surfaces, such as forests, deserts, cities, and icy surfaces, and study their seasonal variability. These albedo maps will enable us to refine calculations of the Earth's energy budget and its seasonal variability and improve climate simulations.

The Impact of Meteorological Factors on Stroke Incidence in the Transdanubian Region of Hungary

Cerebrovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and disability. The epidemiological background and predisposing factors have been the basis of many studies. We aimed to assess the effect of seasonal variability and meteorological factors on stroke incidence in Hungary. National and county-level secondary data were assessed for 2018–2019. We identified stroke with ICD codes I60, I61, I62 (hemorrhagic), I63, I65, and I66 (ischemic). The data were obtained from the University of Pécs Clinical Centre (number of patients per day according to sex and disease subtype, n = 1765). Daily average and maximum wind speed [m/s], precipitation [mm], temperature [°C], and frontal effect [warm/cold/mixed/no effect]) were provided by the Hungarian Meteorological Service. We found that 89.92% of the patients were hospitalized for ischemic and 10.08% for hemorrhagic stroke. We observed a significantly higher number of cases in the other months compared to winter (spring: +35.9%; p = 0.007, summer: +59.0%; p = 0.016, autumn: +36.5%; p = 0.01). In autumn, an increase in temperature increased the incidence of stroke (r = 0.210; p = 0.004). Temperature change affected ischemic stroke incidence (r = 0.112; p = 0.003). In contrast, the number of hemorrhagic stroke cases showed a mild but significant negative association with daily temperature change (r = −0.073; p = 0.049). Overall, a 1 °C temperature change compared to the previous day increased the daily number of admissions by 2.9% (p = 0.017). Air pressure change also affected hemorrhagic stroke incidence (r = 0.083; p = 0.025). Changes in temperature and frontal effects can increase the incidence of stroke. Modern forecasting technology can help the healthcare system prepare for possible increased workloads during critical periods.

Self-attention network-based state of charge estimation for lithium-ion batteries with gapped temperature data

The accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC), a critical indicator of the energy stored in lithium-ion batteries, is essential for ensuring reliable and safe battery management. The influence of temperature on the battery characteristics substantially affects the SOC estimation accuracy. Owing to the broad operational temperature range of batteries, it is vital to address the various temperature conditions. This study proposes a model structure for data-driven SOC estimation to enhance accuracy under diverse temperature conditions. The model leverages the analysis of the SOC characteristics derived from the measured data. The proposed structure incorporates parallel-connected self-attention and long-short-term memory modules, thus providing an innovative approach for effectively capturing intricate features in SOC estimation. This study primarily focused on evaluating the capability of the proposed model to achieve satisfactory SOC estimation for untrained temperature conditions when trained with gapped temperature data, thus emphasizing its practicality. To assess the feasibility of the proposed method, experiments were performed under a broad range of fixed and varying temperature conditions, including seasonal and daily changes. The experimental results demonstrated that the root-mean-square errors of the estimated SOC were 0.4101% and 1.5611% at fixed and time-varying temperatures, respectively, including the subzero ranges. These results highlight the robustness of the proposed model under various temperature conditions and its applicability to real-world battery operational temperatures.

In Vitro Models Used in Cariology Mineralisation Research-A Review of the Literature.

Dental caries remains a significant global health problem. One of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the development and progression of dental caries is the dynamic process of demineralisation/remineralisation. In vitro models have played a critical role in advancing our understanding of this process and identifying potential interventions to prevent or arrest dental caries. This literature review aims to provide a structured oversight of in vitro mineralisation models which have been used to study the tooth demineralisation/remineralisation process. Publications from 2019 to 2023 were screened to identify articles reporting the use of in vitro models to study the demineralisation/remineralisation of tooth caries. The included studies were methodologically assessed for their information on (i) substrate, (ii) lesion formation, and (iii) mineralisation models. The most reported substrates used in the studies were human teeth along with bovine incisors. Acetic/lactic buffers were the most common solutions to induce caries lesions. pH cycling was the most frequently used mineralisation model for simulating the daily change within the oral environment. This review discussed the advantages and limitations of various approaches. Standardisation of in vitro mineralisation models is crucial for enabling effective comparison between studies and advancing caries research.

The Reindeer Circadian Clock Is Rhythmic and Temperature-compensated But Shows Evidence of Weak Coupling Between the Secondary and Core Molecular Clock Loops.

Circadian rhythms synchronize the internal physiology of animals allowing them to anticipate daily changes in their environment. Arctic habitats may diminish the selective advantages of circadian rhythmicity by relaxing daily rhythmic environmental constraints, presenting a valuable opportunity to study the evolution of circadian rhythms. In reindeer, circadian control of locomotor activity and melatonin release is weak or absent, and the molecular clockwork is reportedly non-functional. Here we present new evidence that the circadian clock in cultured reindeer fibroblasts is rhythmic and temperature-compensated. Compared with mouse fibroblasts, however, reindeer fibroblasts have a short free-running period, and temperature cycles have an atypical impact on clock gene regulation. In reindeer cells, Per2 and Bmal1 reporters show rapid responses to temperature cycles, with a disintegration of their normal antiphasic relationship. The antiphasic Per2-Bmal1 relationship re-emerges immediately after release from temperature cycles, but without complete temperature entrainment and with a marked decline in circadian amplitude. Experiments using Bmal1 promoter reporters with mutated RORE sites showed that a reindeer-like response to temperature cycles can be mimicked in mouse or human cell lines by decoupling Bmal1 reporter activity from ROR/REV-ERB-dependent transcriptional regulation. We suggest that weak coupling between core and secondary circadian feedback loops accounts for the observed behavior of reindeer fibroblasts in vitro. Our findings highlight diversity in how the thermal environment affects the temporal organization of mammals living under different thermoenergetic constraints.

The relationship of short-term exposure to meteorological factors on diabetes mellitus mortality risk in Hefei, China: a time series analysis.

The study aims to explore whether short-term exposure to meteorological factors has a potential association with the risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) mortality. During the period 2015-2018, we collected daily data on meteorological factors and deaths of diabetic patients in Hefei. A total of 1101 diabetic deaths were recorded. We used structural equation modeling to initially explore the relationships among air pollutants, meteorological variables, and mortality, and generalized additive modeling (GAM) and distributional lag nonlinear modeling (DLNM) to explore the relationship between meteorological factors and the mortality risk of DM patients. We also stratified by age and gender. The mortality risk in diabetic patients was expressed by relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for both single and cumulative days. Single-day lagged results showed a high relative humidity (RH) (75th percentile, 83.71%), a fairly high average temperature (T mean) (95th percentile, 30.32°C), and an extremely low diurnal temperature range (DTR) (5th percentile, 3.13°C) were positively related to the mortality risk of DM. Stratified results showed that high and very high levels of T mean were significantly positively linked to the mortality risk of DM among females and the elderly, while very high levels of DTR were linked to the mortality risk in men and younger populations. In conclusion, this study found that short-duration exposure to quite high T mean, high RH, and very low DTR were significantly positively related to the mortality risk of DM patients. For women and older individuals, exposure to high and very high T mean environments should be minimized. Men and young adults should be aware of daily temperature changes.

Bitcoin Price Bubbles and The Factors Driving Bitcoin Price Formation

The Bitcoin, one of the most discussed event of recent times, is the first cryptocurrency to be released. Bitcoin has the biggest market capitalization in the cryptocurrencies, and it is a decentralized payment tool that cannot be controlled by any government institution. Cryptocurrencies operate on top of a decentralized network, recording and verifying transactions using a technology called Blockchain. Many bubble price formations occurred in financial markets throughout history. Cryptocurrency markets are prone to manipulation because they are not connected to any center. This study aims to to investigate the buble formations in Bitcoin (BTC) US Dollar price for the period of 11 December 2017 - 31 July 2023, and also to determine the main financial variables affecting Bitcoin prices. ARDL Bounds test proves cointegration between Bitcoin price and dependent variables. Error Correction Model determines positive connection between BTC and Nasdaq100 index. A daily change in Nasdaq100 index leads to a 0.58% increase in BTC price. Model captures also negative relationship between Volatility Index, USD Index and BTC price. No long-term relationship emerges in the results. In the long run, unique and different variables shape BTC price formation.

Variability of solar UV radiation in the northern mountains of the Czech Republic, 2020–2021

Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation has a crucial role in many atmospheric processes and a huge impact on living organisms. Its main positive effect is the synthesis of vitamin D, but it also causes problems such as sunburn, skin cancer or eye cataracts. In the mountains, high doses of UV frequently occur due to a specific combination of atmospheric and geographical factors such as a high ground reflection as a consequence of a large number of days with snow cover, or a lower concentration of atmospheric pollutants in comparison to lowland urban regions. This study used measurements of erythemal UV radiation from two high altitude areas: the Hrubý Jeseník Mountains (Vysoká hole meteorological station, 1 464 m a.s.l.) and the Giant Mountains (Luční bouda meteorological station, 1 413 m a.s.l.) in the Czech Republic, during 2020 and 2021. We evaluated the daily and monthly changes in erythemal dose and UV index. The maximum daily dose of 5.0 kJ.m-2 (8.9 of UV index) was measured on 28 June 2020 at Vysoká hole. The maximal UV index of 10.1 was observed at Luční bouda on 5 July 2020, while the maximum daily dose of 4.9 kJ.m-2 occurred on 14 June 2021. The main factors that caused changes in solar UV radiation were the amount of cloud cover as well as the total ozone column.

Coordinated scheduling of 5G base station energy storage for voltage regulation in distribution networks

With the rapid development of 5G base station construction, significant energy storage is installed to ensure stable communication. However, these storage resources often remain idle, leading to inefficiency. To enhance the utilization of base station energy storage (BSES), this paper proposes a co-regulation method for distribution network (DN) voltage control, enabling BSES participation in grid interactions. In this paper, firstly, an energy consumption prediction model based on long and short-term memory neural network (LSTM) is established to accurately predict the daily load changes of base stations. Secondly, a BSES aggregation model is constructed by using the power feasible domain maximal inner approximation method and Minkowski summation to evaluate the charging and discharging potential and adjustable capacity of BSES clusters. Subsequently, a BSES demand assessment and optimal scheduling model for low voltage regulation in DN is developed. This model optimizes the charging and discharging strategies of BSES to alleviate low voltage problems in DN. Finally, the simulation results effectively verify the feasibility of the proposed optimal scheduling method of BSES for voltage regulation in DN.

Assessing Clinical Variables Associated With Femoral Muscle Decay as Measured by Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound in Critically Ill Children

ObjectivesSkeletal muscle wasting is a common occurrence in critical illness, often resulting in intensive care unit (ICU)‐acquired weakness. This study aims to identify clinical factors associated with muscle decay in mechanically ventilated critically ill children. Utilizing point‐of‐care ultrasound, a noninvasive and cost‐effective tool, we assess muscle decay through ultrasound of the quadriceps femoris.MethodsA prospective observational study was conducted in a single‐center quaternary‐care pediatric intensive care unit at a children's hospital. A convenience sample of 103 sedated and mechanically ventilated patients were enrolled in this study. Ultrasound measurements of quadriceps femoris muscle thickness were taken, and daily muscle decay rates were calculated. Demographic, clinical, and outcome data were analyzed for correlations with muscle decay.ResultsAmong the enrolled patients, 67 had repeat measurements. Muscle thickness change aligned with prior studies, with a mean daily change of −1.9% [IQR −0.8, −5.0]. Adequate cumulative caloric intake (&gt;60% of goal) correlated with less muscle decay compared with inadequate intake (−1.8 vs −2.4%, P &lt; .001). Average daily muscle change correlated with both ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS) (r = .328, P = .007 and r = .393, P = .001). No significant correlations emerged between muscle change and mortality, disease severity, fluid balance, early mobilization, steroid exposure, or sedative and paralytic use.ConclusionThis study demonstrates early and frequent muscle decay in critically ill children, as detected by point‐of‐care ultrasound. Average daily muscle decay was associated with longer ICU and hospital LOS. Adequate cumulative caloric intake is linked to reduced muscle decay. These findings contribute to understanding muscle wasting in critically ill pediatric patients.

Daily Diversity Flows: Racial and Ethnic Context Between Home and Work.

The racial and ethnic diversification of the U.S. population has transformed the demographic makeup of communities and rapidly increased exposure to diversity in American neighborhoods. Although diversity exposure occurs throughout people's daily lives, the conventional approach to describing diversity only at places of residence potentially understates the full extent of this phenomenon. In this study, we explore short-term, within-day changes in the diversity of different neighborhoods by considering U.S. workers' work and residential locations. Using estimates for daytime and nighttime populations among metropolitan census tracts, our empirical analyses investigate the extent to which the process of daytime mobility for work relates to changes in the racial and ethnic diversity of different spaces. Our results indicate widespread daily shifts toward diversity for most neighborhood types, especially those with residential (nighttime) populations that are predominantly Black, Latino, or Asian. We find that patterns of intraday diversification experienced minor declines across recent decades but are present in most metropolitan areas. Our findings also show that intraday changes in racial and ethnic diversity overlap with nonracial forms of daily diversity change. Further, average within-day changes in diversity are more pronounced in areas with greater residential segregation.

Do you still find me physically attractive? Partners’ daily perceptions of attractiveness during the transition to parenthood

The transition to parenthood is characterized by physical changes and altered sexual dynamics that may be associated with a tendency for new parents to underestimate their partner’s physical attraction to them and/or be more attuned to daily changes in their partner’s attraction. To examine this possibility, this study assessed directional bias and tracking accuracy in new parents’ perceptions of their partner’s daily physical attraction to them. Fifty-nine couples completed 21-day diary tasks during pregnancy, 2 weeks after childbirth, and 15 weeks after childbirth (i.e., up to 63 diary days). Both mothers and fathers experienced increased appearance insecurity and decreased sexual frequency and sexual satisfaction across the transition. Moreover, at times when new parents reported higher appearance insecurity or lower sexual satisfaction, they underestimated their partner’s physical attraction to them, but were not more likely to notice day-to-day fluctuations in their partner’s attraction. Results highlight the misperceptions that can occur during this pivotal life transition.

Impact on beer sales of removing the pint serving size: An A-B-A reversal trial in pubs, bars, and restaurants in England.

Smaller serving sizes could contribute towards reducing alcohol consumption across populations and thereby decrease the risk of 7 cancers and other diseases. To our knowledge, the current study is the first to assess the impact on beer, lager, and cider sales (hereafter, for ease, referred to just as "beer sales") of removing the largest draught serving size (1 imperial pint) from the options available in licensed premises under real-word conditions. The study was conducted between February and May 2023, in 13 licensed premises in England. It used an A-B-A reversal design, set over 3 consecutive 4-weekly periods with "A" representing the nonintervention periods during which standard serving sizes were served, and "B" representing the intervention period when the largest serving size of draught beer (1 imperial pint (568 ml)) was removed from existing ranges so that the largest size available was two-thirds of a pint. Where two-third pints were not served, the intervention included introducing this serving size in conjunction with removing the pint serving size. The primary outcome was the mean daily volume of all beer sold, including draught, bottles, and cans (in ml), extracted from electronic sales data. Secondary outcomes were mean daily volume of wine sold (ml) and daily revenue (£). Thirteen premises completed the study, 12 of which did so per protocol and were included in the primary analysis. After adjusting for prespecified covariates, the intervention resulted in a mean daily change of -2,769 ml (95% CI [-4,188, -1,578] p < 0.001) or -9.7% (95% CI [-13.5%, -6.1%] in beer sold. The daily volume of wine sold increased during the intervention period by 232 ml (95% CI [13, 487], p = 0.035) or 7.2% (95% CI [0.4%, 14.5%]). Daily revenues decreased by 5.0% (95% CI [9.6%, -0.3%], p = 0.038). Removing the largest serving size (the imperial pint) for draught beer reduced the volume of beer sold. Given the potential of this intervention to reduce alcohol consumption, it merits consideration in alcohol control policies. ISRCTN.com ISRCTN18365249.

PSIII-4 Exploring the behavioral effects of glycerol supplementation in ruminally cannulated cows grazing wheat pasture

Abstract Energy intake and metabolism have a key role in the control of dry matter intake (DMI), fermentation processes, and grazing behavior of beef cattle, and is likely affected by intertwined relationships between forage availability and stage of maturity, offering of energy supplements and climate- and animal-related factors. Ruminally cannulated mixed-breed nonlactating cows [n = 9; initial body weight (BW) = 564.4 ± 101.6 kg] grazing wheat pasture were used in a split-plot design with the objectives of evaluating the effects crude glycerine supplementation and forage maturity on grazing behavior. Treatment was the main plot, and stage of forage maturity was the subplot. Treatments were unsupplemented control (CON) and crude glycerine supplementation (SUP). Crude glycerol (37.2% glycerol, DM basis) was offered at 0.11% of BW (DM basis) and dosed intraruminally via rumen cannula at 0700 and 1900 h daily. The stages of wheat pasture maturity were March (MAR; vegetative stage) and April (APR; early reproductive stage). All cows were fitted with LoRa WAN tracking collars, housing GPS and triaxial accelerometers and allowing real-time inspection of cow position and activity data through time. Hourly (d 10 and 23) and daily change of walking distance (m), activity index and budget for grazing, resting, and walking time (min) were analyzed with a repeated measure mixed model for the split-plot design. Walking distance (1,200 ± 13 m), activity index (10,006 ± 122), resting time (607 ± 5 min), grazing time (662 ± 8 min) and walking time (171 ± 8 min) were not affected (P ≥ 0.52) by crude glycerine supplementation or by stage of forage maturity (P ≥ 0.07), but varied (P &amp;lt; 0.001) by day and by hour of day, likely indicating circadian effects on meal frequency and duration associated with the hour of the day and forage depletion through time. Grazing behavior was more likely affected by climate, pasture, animal, and management variables and less affected by GLY dose. Results indicate that crude glycerine may be used in supplements for cattle grazing wheat pasture to increase energy intake and without adversely creating associative or substitution effects, grazing behavior or sacrificing pasture utilization.
