The thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and heat capacity per unit volume of dunite rocks taken from Chillas near Gilgit, Pakistan have been measured simultaneously using transient plane source technique. The temperature dependence of thermal transport properties is studied in the temperature range 83-303 K. Different relations for the estimation of thermal conductivity are also tested. T...

in order to investigate the effect of different temperature of anesthetic (clove tree) and recover (anesthetic-free water) solutions on recovery process, the anesthetic induction times and recovery times of 540 fingerlings of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) weighing 3.2 ± 0.2 g in anesthesia/ recovery solutions with cross-combined of temperature of 5,11 and 17 °c as experimental treatments ...

due to the anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity of green tea epigallocatechin-gallate (egcg), this research study was conducted to evaluate, for the first time, the efficacy of chronic treatment of egcg on alleviation of hyperalgesia in streptozotocin-diabetic (stz-diabetic) rats. male wistar rats were divided into control, diabetic, egcg-treated-control and diabetic and sodium salicylate (ss...

experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of a low heat rejection (lhr) diesel engine. performance parameters and emission levels were determined at various magnitudes of brake mean effective pressure. combustion characteristics of the engine were measured with tdc (top dead centre) encoder, pressure transducer, console and special pressure-crank angle software package at peak load...

Heat-based approaches have been considered as promising tools due to their ability to directly eradicate tumor cells and/or increase the sensitivity of tumors to radiation- or chemotherapy. In particular, the heating of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) via an alternating magnetic field can provide a handy alternative for a localized tumor treatment. To amplify the efficacy of magnetically induced ...

The mechanism responsible for the enhancement of the thermal stability of the oxygen-evolving machinery of photosystem II during acclimation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to high temperatures such as 35 degrees C remains unknown. When cells that had been grown at 20 degrees C were transferred to 35 degrees C, the thermal stability of the oxygen-evolving machinery increased and within 8 h it was ...

We examined the effects of thermal injury on intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and death. We recorded histologically identifiable mitotic and apoptotic crypt cells in relation to cell position after a 60% full thickness cutaneous thermal injury in the rat. The injury significantly reduced mitosis (0.53 +/- 0.11 vs. 1. 50 +/- 0.70, P < 0.05) at cell positions 4-6, stem cells, 6 h after in...

To elucidate the mechanisms of thermal adaptation and acclimation in ectothermic aquatic organisms from differing climates, we used a common-garden experiment for thermal stress to investigate the heat shock response of redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) from desert and montane populations. Evidence for adaptation was observed as expression of heat shock genes in fish from the desert...

We show here that increased variability of temperature and pH synergistically negatively affects the energetics of intertidal zone crabs. Under future climate scenarios, coastal ecosystems are projected to have increased extremes of low tide-associated thermal stress and ocean acidification-associated low pH, the individual or interactive effects of which have yet to be determined. To character...
