Neuropsychological assessment in extreme environments.
In this paper, we summarize studies that used ANAM tests to assess the effects of environmental stressors. The findings document performance changes resulting from conditions relevant to military operational medicine. These conditions included radiation exposure, toxins, high altitude, undersea conditions, Marine basic training, advanced military training, and fatigue. The results of these stud...

Endospores have remarkable resistance to various extreme conditions and can remain dormant for extended periods of time. Clostridium spores are of particular interest due to their significant importance in several industries, such as food processing, wastewater treatment, pha...
متن کاملLife in extreme environments
Extreme habitats lie outside the range of conditions in which most of organisms live. 'Extreme' includes physical extremes, e.g. temperature, radiation, pressure, and geochemical extreme, for example desiccation, salinity, pH, depletion of oxygen or extreme redox potential. Investigations of these environments are important for the study of evolution relationships, emergence of new species and ...
