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...

Most aspects of reproductive function including spermatogenesis, oocyte growth and maturation, early embryonic development, fetal and placental growth, and lactation can be affected by thermal stress. Furthermore, it has been shown that oxidative stress involves in the pathology of thermal stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of thermal stress on the ovine mat...

A fuel cell is an electro-chemical tool capable of converting chemical energy into electricity. High operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cell, between 700oC to 1000oC, causes thermal stress. Thermal stress causes gas escape, structure variability and cease operation of the SOFC before its lifetime.The purpose of the current paper is to present a method that predicts ...

the hot compression tests were carried on x45crniw189 valve steel (x45) in the temperature rangeof 1000– 1200 °c and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperaturesoftening behavior of this steel. for the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effectivestrain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. on the basis of experimen...

the variation in climatic variables like temperature, humidity and radiations were recognized as the potential hazards in the growth and production of all domestic livestock species. thermal environment is a major factor that can negatively affect both production and reproduction in dairy animals, especially in animals of high genetic merit. among the stressors, heat stress has been of major co...

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...
