the possible alleviating effects of salicylic acid on protection of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cv. parastu under water stress conditions were investigated in the university of zanjan agriculture research station during 2008. water stress was imposed by withholding irrigation at 50% flowering (flowering water stress, fws) and when 50% of the pods grew 2-3cm (pod-formation water stress, pfws). sa...

this study demonstrates the changes in six different pathophysiological parameters such as body weight, body temperature, fecal pellet count, blood-brain barrier (bbb) permeability, plasma corticosterone level and emergence of hemorrhagic peptic ulcer spots due to exposure to high environmental heat in three different age groups of freely moving rats. methods: each age group of rats was sub div...

the three-phase-lag model and green–naghdi theory without energy dissipation are employed to study the deformation of a two-temperature fiber-reinforced medium with an internal heat source that is moving with a constant speed under a hydrostatic initial stress and the gravity field.  the modulus of the elasticity is given as a linear function of the reference temperature. the exact expressions ...

In this study, the effect of the tube material on the thermal stress generated in a vertical shell and tube heat exchanger is investigated. Shell and tube heat exchangers are the most common heat exchangers used in industries. One of the most common failures in these exchangers in the industry is the tube failure at the junction of the tube to tubesheet. When the shell side and the tube side fl...

heat stress is well recognized among the hazardous physical agents that might be present during work. this study aims to compare wbgt index at acclimated and unacclimated people to permissible threshold limit value and study the differences between physiological parameters at them. twenty one healthy men were participated in the study. all of the subjects were monitored in two different weather...

abstract background: heat is one of the most important of harmful agents in many working environments such as bakeries that can cause prevalence of diseases related to heat and falling of efficiency. aim of this study was exposure evaluation of isfahan bakers to heat stresses in their working environment through evaluation of relationship among wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) , oral tem...

to study of some cryoprotectives in cold tolerant rice genotypes (irctn33 and irctn34) and cold-sensitive rice genotype (hoveize) were selected in previous experiment, fourteen-day rice seedlings exposed fourteen days in 13/15oc (respectively night-day) temperatures as the stress treatment and 22/28oc (night-day) temperature as control treatment in phytotrone. this experiment was conducted in f...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of changes in oxidative stress and antioxidant status in response to playing tennis in HOT (∼36°C and 35% relative humidity (RH)) and COOL (∼22°C and 70% RH) conditions. METHODS 10 male tennis players undertook two matches for an effective playing time (ie, ball in play) of 20 min, corresponding to ∼122 and ∼107 min of total pla...

in order to evaluate the effect of terminal water deficit stress on leaf traits and their relations to grain yield in different barley genotypes (‘yousof’, ‘fajr30’, ‘nosrat’, ‘pbyt-46’, ‘pbyt-97’ and ‘morocco’), two separated experiments were conducted in stress (water withholding from anthesis towards the end of growing season), and non stress (normal irrigation) conditions based on rcbd with...
