Seasonal changes of the thyroid gland structure and hormones secretion was examined in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) in the northwest of Persian Gulf (Musa creek). Thyroid gland composed of follicles scattered around the ventral aorta, near the gills. Follicular cells varied according to secretion of the gland during warm and cold seasons. Thyroid hormones (Triidothyronine [T3] and ...

Exposure of ectothermic organisms to variations in temperatures causes a transient mismatch between energy supply and demand, which needs to be compensated for during acclimation. Adenosine accumulation from ATP breakdown indicates such an imbalance and its reversal reflects a restoration of energy status. We monitored adenosine levels in blood serum and liver of common eelpout (Zoarces vivipar...

New and archival interferometric 12CO(1→0) datasets from six nearby galaxies are combined with H2 2.122 μm and Hα maps to explore in detail the interstellar medium in different star-forming galaxies. We investigate the relation between warm (H2 at T ∼ 2000 K) and cold (CO at T ∼ 50 K) molecular gas from 100 pc to 2 kpc scales. On these scales, the ratio of warm-to-cold molecular hydrogen correl...

Rainbow trout remain active in waters that seasonally change between 4°C and 20°C. To explore how these fish are able to maintain cardiac function over this temperature range we characterized changes in cardiac morphology, contractile function, and the expression of contractile proteins in trout following acclimation to 4°C (cold), 12°C (control), and 17°C (warm). The relative ventricular mass ...

Using a spatial percentile approach, we explore the magnitude of temperature anomalies across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Linear trends in spatial percentile series are estimated for 1881–2013, the most recent 30 year period (1984–2013), and 1998–2013. All spatial percentiles in both hemispheres show increases from 1881 to 2013, but warming occurred unevenly via modification of cold ...

On August 20, 2004, ten day before the deadline for this Proceedings, the International Committee for Future Accelerators following the recommendation of International Technology Recommendation Panel announced that International Linear Collider (ILC) is to be realized in superconducting technology. So, all discussions are finished. Nevertheless, even now it has sense to summarize what is acquir...

gon were made during exchange transfusions performed with blood heated to 36 * 5 to 38-5 °C or cooled to 10 to 13 'C. Term., normally grown infants suffering from rhesus incompatibility were studied. 10 received warm transfusions and 9 cold transfusions. Cold transfusions caused a progressive fall in rectal, umbilical vein, and skin temperature, whereas warm transfusions caused little change in...

In this research, a combination of passive and active methods is used to design a nearly zero energy building in four major climatic regions of Iran, including cold, mild, dry-warm, and wet-warm ones. The annual energy consumption analysis is performed using DesignBuilder® software. The passive strategies include Trombe Wall, blue roof, and thermochromic windows, and the active methods are usin...
