Reproductive performance has been shown to be greatly affected by changes in environmental factors, such as temperature. However, it is also crucial to identify the particular stage of pregnancy that is most adversely affected by elevated ambient temperature. The aims of this study were to determine the effect on reproductive outcomes of exposure to elevated ambient temperature during different...

21 century. Such an increase in the atmospheric CO may effect plant growth and productivity of crop plants. st 2 A field experiment was conducted with two potato cultivars namely Kufri Surya and Kufri Chipsona-3 grown inside Open Top Chambers (OTCs) at ambient (385±30 μmol mol ) and elevated CO (570±50 μmol mol ), 1 1 2 during rabi season of the year 2009-2010. The experiment was planned in a r...

Understanding of the permeability of reservoir rocks at elevated temperature is becoming increasingly important both in oil field development and stimulation and in geothermal energy production. Rock properties such as permeability are often measured at ambient conditions with reservoir characteristics then based on these ambient measurements. liowever, rock and fluid properties may be radicall...

Adipose tissue is usually laid down in small amounts the foetus and characterised as possessing of brown adipose tissue-specific mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP)1. In adults, a primary factor determining abundance function UCP1 ambient temperature. Cold exposure causes activation rapid generation heat through free flow protons across mitochondria with no requirement to convert ADP ATP. ro...

We introduce a Monte Carlo model of nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration allowing for the generation of large-amplitude magnetic turbulence, i.e., ∆B ≫ B0, where B0 is the ambient magnetic field. The model is the first to include strong wave generation, efficient particle acceleration to relativistic energies in nonrelativistic shocks, and thermal particle injection in an internally self-cons...

RATIONALE Throughout at least the next century, CO(2) fertilization and environmental stresses (e.g. nutrient, moisture, insect herbivory) are predicted to affect yields of economically important crop species. Stable isotopes of carbon are used to study plant stresses, which affect yields, but a growth chamber design that can be used to isolate the effects of environmental stresses on crop-size...
