photosynthetic characteristics and induction of crassulacean acid metabolism (cam) by drought stress were investigated in sedum album, sedum stoloniferum and rosularia elymaitica from crassulaceae. titratable acidity, malate content, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (pepc) activity and gas exchange parameters were determined in plants at the end and beginning of the photoperiod. results showed t...

The hand pattern (i.e., full-cycle hand path) used during manual wheelchair propulsion is frequently classified as one of four distinct hand pattern types: arc, single loop, double loop or semicircular. Current clinical guidelines recommend the use of the semicircular pattern, which is based on advantageous levels of broad biomechanical metrics implicitly related to the demand placed on the upp...

This article has studied the effect of ratio of stiffness and thickness between piezoelectric actuators and host plat has been explored on optimal pattern for placement of piezoelectric work pieces around a hole in thin isotropic plate under static loading to reduce stress concentration. The piezoelectric actuators reduce directly or indirectly the stress concentration by applying positive and ...

The adrenal glands of 41 fresh stillbirths were studied and a 'stress response' pattern could be seen in 28. In these glands the stress response was characterised by compact cell change, lipid depletion, excess pyroninophilia, and dilatation of the very prominent granular endoplasmic reticulum. Scattered areas of cytolysis of cells, especially of the definitive cortex, gave rise to the commonly...

abiotic stress are the main factors causing low growth and yield in crops. osmotic stress is an important stress and in case of salinity stress is presuming at the first step. there are different experimental and computational methods to study plant response to stress and lead to better understanding of mechanism involved in these conditions and improvement of plant tolerance to stress. upstrea...

Abstract Introduction “Coronary prone behaviour pattern” refers to the way of coping with environmental stressors, otherwise known as a type A pattern. Stress, unlimited working hours and shift system are conducive an “unhealthy life style” conducted by nurses. The purpose study was evaluate health promoting risky behaviours nurses, taking into account “coronary pattern.” Material method 1080 n...

Identification of English primary stress in trochaic and iambic words was compared between English native listeners and Japanese listeners in an environment where the two stress patterns were not distinguished by pitch while other acoustic contrasts were kept intact. Native listeners and Japanese listeners showed opposite response patterns when the pitch pattern of the stimuli was made into fla...
