drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

Wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index is used by many professionals in combination with metabolic rate and clothing adjustments to assess whether a heat stress exposure is sustainable. The progressive heat stress protocol is a systematic method to prescribe a clothing adjustment value (CAV) from human wear trials, and it also provides an estimate of apparent total evaporative resistance (Re,T...

Early analysis into the role of genetics on cardiovascular regulation has been accomplished by comparing blood pressure and heart rate in homozygous twins during unstressed, resting physiological conditions. However, many variables, including cognitive and environmental factors, contribute to the regulation of cardiovascular hemodynamics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine th...

abstract: salicylic acid is a phytohormone with phenolic nature which has been proved its role in increasing plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress in several studies. this study was performed in order to investigation of interaction between 0, 0.5 and 1.5 mm concentrations of salicylic acid, as a seed pretreatment and different levels of drought stress (100, 75, 50 and 25 percent of fie...

Hydrogen permeation reduces a material’s properties and increases the risk of brittle fracture, which causes potential safety hazard. A workpiece’s hydrogen resistance could be improved by improving its surface integrity through processing. This paper studies low-alloy steel’s in production reactor, using electrochemical cathodic hydrogen-charging method to carry out experiments. After specimen...

In this study, one-year-old seedlings of Paeonia ostii ‘Fengdan’ were used as materials. The method spraying exogenous salicylic acid (SA), calcium chloride (CaCl2) and abscisic (ABA) was used. effects different concentrations SA, CaCl2 ABA on the heat tolerance peony under high temperature stress studied. optimum concentration mechanism SA-, CaCl2- ABA-induced discussed. results showed that 10...

Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation promotes oxidative stress which increases the risk of cardiac dysfunction in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and favors local insulin resistance. Fibrates regulate RAS improving MetS, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. We studied the effect of fenofibrate treatment on the myocardic signaling pathway of Angiotensin II (Ang II)/Angiotensin II type 1 r...
