Epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a vector-borne infectious noncontagious viral disease of domestic and wild ruminants, primarily white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and cattle. Sheep, goats and camelids might also be susceptible, but usually do not develop overt disease. EHD virus (EHDV) is transmitted between ruminant hosts by species of Culicoides biting midges, thus EHD infections are strongly seasonal. White-tailed deer is the most severely affected species, with the peracute form having a high mortality rate. (https://www.woah.org/fileadmin/Home/fr/Health_standards/tahm/3.01.07_EHD.pdf)

Thermal spraying techniques are coating processes in which melted (or heated) materials are sprayed onto a surface. Coatings prepared by thermal spraying technologies are used in virtually all industries that place increased demands on quality and durability, i.e., in the automotive, aerospace, agricultural, engineering, and biomedical engineering sectors.

Walking (also known as ambulation) is one of the main gaits of locomotion among legged animals, and is typically slower than running and other gaits. Walking is defined by an 'inverted pendulum' gait in which the body vaults over the stiff limb or limbs with each step. This applies regardless of the number of limbs - even arthropods, with six, eight or more limbs, walk. (http://dbpedia.org/page/Walking)
