This study was designed to determine the effects of heat stress on plasma leucocytes, Thyroxin （T4） and cortisol concentrations in dairy cows with small and large cistern under hot climate. This experiment was carried out in 2006, in North Tunisia, using a randomized block design per udder cistern size, using 60 Holstein cows. Cows were classified according to udder cistern size by ultrasonography as large-cisterned （44 ±13 cm2; LC） and small-cisterned （21 ± 8 cm2; SC）. The experiment was carried out in two different periods： spring （Apr. 5 （D1）） and summer （July 19 （D2）, Aug. 19 （D3） and Sept. 19 （D4））. On each test day, temperature and relative humidity data were registered hourly and cows＇ blood was sampled from the jugular vein to determine serum concentrates of cortisol and T4. Leucocytes （lyrnphocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils and monocytes） were counted differentially, and percentages of lymphocytes relative to total counted cells were calculated. mean temperature-humidity index （THI） values were 62 ±2, 79 ±2, 84 ±2, and 77 ±1 in DI, D2, D3, and D4, respectively. Lymphocyte incidence relative to total cell counts and T4 concentrations were affected by test day （P 〈 0.001）. Lymphocytes （%） were significantly less in hotter months. During summer, T4 concentration at D2 （87.4 nmol/L） was higher relative to concentrations at D3 （42.8 nmol/L） and D4 （53.5 nmol/L）. T4 concentrations were higher （P 〈 0.01） in SC cows （67.7 ±0.1 nmol/L） compared to LC cows （52.7 ±0.1 nmol/L）. Cortisol concentration was effected neither by test day nor by cistern size. However, the decrease of lymphocyte concentration during summer compared to spring could be considered as an evidence of the suppression of cows＇ immune system under heat stress.

The Ain El Bey abandoned mine, in North-West Tunisia, fits into the geodynamic context of the European and African plate boundary. Ore deposit corresponds to veins and breccia of multiphase Cu–Fe-rich mineralization related to various hydrothermal fluid circulations. Petromineralogical studies indicate a rich mineral paragenesis with a minimum of seven mineralization phases and, at least, six pyrite generations. As is also the case for galena and native silver, native gold is observed for the first time as inclusion in quartz which opens up, thus, new perspectives for prospecting and evaluating the potential for noble metals associated with the mineralization. Scanning Electron microscope--Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy and Transmission electron microscopy analyses show, in addition, a large incorporation of trace elements, including Ag and Au, in mineral structures such as fahlores(tetrahedrite-tennantite) and chalcopyrite ones. The mineral/mineral associations, used as geothermometers, gave estimated temperatures for the mineralizing fluids varying from 254 to 330 ℃ for phase Ⅲ, from 254 to 350 ℃ for phase Ⅳ, and from 200 to 300 ℃ for phases Ⅴ and Ⅵ. The seventh and last identified mineralization phase, marked by a deposit of native gold, reflects a drop in the mineralizing fluid’s temperature(mpatible with boiling conditions. Such results open up perspectives for the development of precious metal research and the revaluation of the Cu–Fe ore deposit at the Ain El Bey abandoned mine, as well as at the surrounding areas fitting in the geodynamic framework of the Africa-Europe plate boundary.
