Diurnal Temperature Variations Affect Development of a Herbivorous Arthropod Pest and its Predators

The impact of daily temperature variations on arthropod life history remains woefully understudied compared to the large body of research that has been carried out on the effects of constant temperatures. However, diurnal varying temperature regimes more commonly represent the environment in which most organisms thrive. Such varying temperature regimes have been demonstrated to substantially af...

Impact of diurnal temperature variations on hospitalization due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases in Rafsanjan, Iran, in 2008-2013

Background: Changes in global temperature and its health effects have recently been under much investigated. Consequently, these changes have affected mortality and morbidity rates which are important public health indices. The present study examines the effect of mean temperature on the frequency of hospitalization due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases in Ali Ibn Abi Talib Hospital of...

Bacterial contamination of cucumber fruit through adhesion.

In this study, the adhesion of bacteria to fresh cucumber surfaces in aqueous suspension was shown to be dependent on time of incubation, inoculum species and concentration, and temperature. The adhesion of bacteria to the fruit in wash water was less extensive at lower temperatures and shorter exposure times. Various species of bacteria were adsorbed to cucumber surfaces in the following relat...

Srap Markers for Fruit Shape in Cucumber

Fruit shape is one of the most important quality factors in many domesticated plants. In this study, we used bulked segregate analysis (BSA) to identify two sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers linked to fruit shape in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). A segregating F2 population of 130 plants from a cross (B-2-2×Y-3) of B-2-2 with long fruit shape trait and Y-3 with round fruit ...
