For example, the stressed syllable is more precisely articulated, longer, louder, and often higher pitched. Phonetically, ‘articulatory force’ involves a number of properties that the stressed syllable has to a greater degree relative to the unstressed syllables. Dictionaries often signal the location of word stress using a dash or ‘accent mark’ (hippo'potamus) before the stressed syllable, or sometimes they use capitalization (hippoPOtamus). It is common to refer to this syllable as being stressed, or carrying stress. Almost every speaker of English will pronounce the medial syllable of this word with more ‘articulatory force’ than all other syllables. van der Hulst, in Encyclopedia of Language & Linguistics (Second Edition), 2006 The Basic PhenomenonĬonsider the English word hippopotamus. Therefore, continuous surveillance of the animal allowed for informed decisions and constant evaluation of the efficacy of therapy. A hairline fracture or chip fracture in the carpal joint was suspected. The animal was to be medicated as well as “stall rested” in the pool until the temperature difference was 1☌ or less this took 2 years. Within 3 minutes of leaving the water and simultaneous thermal imaging, the right carpal joint showed a 3°-C higher temperature than the left side.

The example given here shows a hippopotamus with severe lameness of unknown origin ( Figure 3-15). This altered approach yielded the best results to overcome this problem.Īs in other species, a thermogram of the healthy individual is the best reference for later diagnoses.

Past experience has shown many individually placed, facultative thermal windows in this species, which may hide the true inflammatory site.

Hippopotami have a thick skin (∼4-5 cm) that is penetrated by many fine blood vessels.

To obtain an optimal reading, the thermographer should measure the body surface temperature immediately after the animal emerges from the water. The animal should be in the water for at least 1 hour before thermo-diagnosis is performed. In hippopotami the normal diagnostic technique is altered.
