conclusions the results showed that, compared to participants with normal weights, physiological and thermal perceptual responses were higher in overweight participants. therefore, overweight individuals should avoid hot/dry weather conditions to decrease the amount of heat strain. results in both groups, oral temperature, heart rate, and thermal perceptual responses increased during heat expos...

background and objectives: seed vigour is the resultant of a broad range of physiological processes which have genetic background. the study of genetic variation, play an important role in enhancing the ability of breeders in selection and breeding operation. this study aimed to evaluate rice genotypes with the physiological and morphological characteristics related to seed vigour and grouping ...

selection of genotypes based on high value of heritability and forecasted genetic conditions would be an effective method for improvement of wheat cultivars. the present investigation was carried out to estimate the genetic variability of agro-physiological characters using biometrical genetic techniques in 20 bread wheat genotypes under irrigated condition. for this purpose an experiment was c...

introduction: natural process of aging is associated with biological events which alter the structure and function of different parts of the body. larynx also undergoes age-related anatomical and physiological changes during adulthood.. according to anatomical and physiological changes of larynx, acoustic and perceptual characteristics of voice are modified as a result of age-related sequential...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between frequency of religious service attendance and an index of cumulative physiological dysregulation as measured by allostatic load (AL) (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, waist/hip ratio, high-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, cortisol, serum dihydroepiandrosterone sulfate, norepinephrine, and epinephrine). There i...

Previous studies have suggested that insomnia with objective short sleep duration is associated with a higher risk of hypertension, and it has been speculated that the underlying mechanism is physiological hyperarousal. In this study, we tested whether insomnia with physiological hyperarousal measured by Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), a standard test of sleepiness/alertness, is associated ...
