Eight spring wheat cultivars were evaluated under three heat stress conditions (early, late and very late) in order to identify suitable cultivars to develop heattolerant genotypes resistant to future global warming. Results from the study indicate that stress did not negatively affect flag leaf area in ‘Prodip’ and ‘Sufi’, flag leaf dry matter partitioning in ‘Prodip’, ‘BARI Gom-26’ and ‘S...

continual heat stress affects approximately 7 million hectares of wheat in developing countries, while terminal heat stress is a problem in 40% of temperate environments, which cover 36 million hectares throughout the world. heat tolerance is a quantitative and complex trait that doesn’t have much success in direct selection. for this purpose, however, a thorough understanding of physiological ...

in order to study the effects of terminal heat stress and nitrogen on morphophysiological characteristics, anue (agronomical nitrogen use efficiency) and yield of canola, an experiment was conducted at research farm of ramin agricultural sciences and natural resources university. the experiment was arranged in split plots based on randomized complete block design with four replications. main pl...

heat stress and exhaustion is one of the top causes of chicken death. for those new to backyard chicken farming, it is important you learn to recognize the signs of this serious condition and how to keep your chickens cool and hydrated. chicks, especially, need extra attention to help them remain healthy. for a flock of laying hens, knowing how to prevent heat exhaustion and treat a chicken suf...

abstract introduction: heat stress risk assessment, as a harmful agent at workplace, is essential for controlling heat strain and heat stress effectively. this study is concerned with the relationship between physiological strain index (psi) and wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) in women in the climate chamber . methods: this experimental study was carried out on 36 healthy females in sit...

in order to study the effects of post – anthesis heat stress on source of six wheat genotypes (vee/nac, chamran, s79-10, dez, fong and kaveer), two separate field experiments were conducted as delayed as against optimum sowing dates in ahvaz coditions. plants in delayed sowing date experienced heat stress at post-anthesis growth stage. as study of grain yield indicated that the highest and the ...

Background: There is evidence that exposure to heat stress over time may lead to chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to summarize the evidence on the effects of heat stress on renal function among individuals exposed to occupational heat stress. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review, all papers on the effect of heat stress on kidney function among workers at any workplace and h...

heat stress is a significant occupational health and safety for workers in petrochemical industries. heat stress is a combination of heat load individual and environmental factors impose on workers’ bodies, which in turn, have impacts on workers’ performance, safety, and health. the present paper is carried out to determine the heat stress levels in workplace and to compare it with allowed wet ...

Background: Heat stress in the steel industry is considered as a serious threat to the health and safety of workers. A wide spectrum of complications and diseases from mild disorders such as burning sensation to fatal conditions such as thermal shock may occur due to uncontrolled thermal stress. In this study, heat stress assessment was performed according to the wet-bulb globe temperature (WBG...

heat stress effects on physical and mental health of workers and decreases human function. asphalt workers are both exposed to the heat of their working process and to the sun heat. this study aimed at evaluating thermal stress and its following function fall and the effect of asphalt work on the degree of heat stress and asphalt workers’ physiological parameters. the present study was done at ...
