Coral bleaching, during which corals lose their symbiotic dinoflagellates, typically corresponds with periods of intense heat stress, and appears to be increasing in frequency and geographic extent as the climate warms. A fundamental question in coral reef ecology is whether chronic local stress reduces coral resistance and resilience from episodic stress such as bleaching, or alternatively pro...

"Influence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on the Growth and Development Micropropagated Rubus fruticosus ‘P45’ Plants during Acclimatization" published Aug 2023 by American Society for Horticultural Science.

INTRODUCTION In the course of a study of hybrid vigour in Drosophila subobscura it was desired to investigate the effects of inbreeding and of outcrossing on a character which can undergo adaptive modification during development. Since it was known from the work of Mellanby (1939, 1954) that some insects can become acclimatized to changes in temperature, it was decided to study this capacity in...

A previous study from this laboratory indicated that the benefit obtained from a hearing aid in a noisy environment might increase over the first few months of hearing aid use. It was hypothesized that this acclimatization of benefit was due to a process in which the individual optimized his/her use of modified or newly available high-frequency acoustic speech cues. This investigation further e...

OBJECTIVE Discuss the effects of altitude exposure on neuropsychological functions. METHOD We have conducted a literature review using as source indexed articles at Pubmed in the period from 1921 to 2008, using the following key words: 'cognition and hypoxia', 'hypoxia and neuropsychology', 'acute hypoxia', 'chronic hypoxia', and 'acclimatization and hypoxia', as well as specific books on the...

• Outline the effects of increasingly higher altitudes on (1) partial pressure of oxygen in ambient air, (2) oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in pulmonary capillaries, and (3) V O2max • Describe and quantify the oxygen transport cascade at sea level and at 4300 m • Discuss immediate and longer-term physiologic adjustments to altitude exposure • Give symptoms, possible causes, and treatment for a...

Micropropagation is a tool for large-scale reproduction of planting material viticulture sustainability. Successful micropropagation depends on the continued productivity plantlets during acclimatization phase. Due to high humidity in culture container and free water environment, it causes rapid loss drying with watery stems leaves, poorly developed cuticle, large intercellular space, incomplet...
