There is a high association of heat shock on the alteration of energy and lipid metabolism. The alterations associated with thermal stress are composed of gene expression changes and adaptation through biochemical responses. Previous study showed that Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN) root extract promoted adipogenic differentiation in murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes under the normal temperature condition...

Recently, research on the use of binary aqueous-organic liquid phase systems for the treatment of polluted air has significantly increased. This paper reports the removal of α-pinene from a waste air stream in a continuous stirred tank bioreactor (CSTB), using either a single-liquid aqueous phase or a mixed aqueous-organic liquid phase. The influence of gas flow rate, load and pollutant concent...

Petroleum contamination from oil spills is a continuing threat to our ocean's fragile ecosystems. Herein, we explored the effects of the water-soluble fraction of crude oil on a stony coral, Pocillopora damicornis (Linneaeus 1758). We developed methods for exposing corals to various concentrations of crude oil and for assessing the potential molecular responses of the corals. Corals were expose...

The U.S. shale revolution, using new technologies to extract crude oil, has led dynamics in the supply side of global oil market. We ask whether revolution dampened role geopolitical risk price volatility. extend a reduced form Structural Break Threshold Vector Autoregressive (SBT-VAR) model structural SBT-VAR and identify innovations by allowing conditional heteroskedasticity. Compared with co...

after second world war, demand for oil increased and in 1970s reached to its maximum growth. and naturally, providing this level of demand depended on much more import from opec, especially from middle eastern members. contemporaneous, in the early 1970s, some opec governments stopped granting new concessions and starting to claim equity participation in the existing concessions, with a few of ...

⎯ There are many areas which require instruments to be operational after exposure to high levels of shock acceleration such as planetary missions, oil drilling, and military applications. MEMS devices are typically quite resilient to low shock due to their small mass and high resonant modes. Problems can arise, however, when devices with low resonant frequencies and large ranges of motion are p...

We analyse the impact of oil supply, global economic activity, oil-specific consumption demand, and oil-inventory demand shocks on equity-market tail risks a panel 48 developed emerging economies over monthly period from 1975:01 to 2017:12. find that, reduce risks, but shock increases with these effects stronger in oil-exporting economies. Our results have important implications for investors p...

Oil price shock can have serious inflation consequences and, therefore, elicit timely response from the Central Banks (CB). Our paper analyses monetary policy to oil prices in 5 Asian EMDEs during 2008–2019. Not only these countries are heavily dependent on imports for their increasing demand oil, but also CBs of gradually adopted targeting (IT) framework policy. Therefore, it is imperative exa...

A large economic literature discusses the implications of export sanctions for a variety of states around the world. This paper investigates the macro-level consequences of imposing oil export barriers on an oil exporting country. We employ a large real financial computable general equilibrium for Iran. The model is calibrated based on 1999 Social Accounting Matrix for the economy of Iran inc...

Psychological stress has been shown to modulate immune functions. In this study, we investigated the effect of dietary oils (olive oil, soybean oil, and fish oil) on the social isolation stress-induced modulation of lymphocyte immunological activities in mice. In olive oil-fed, but not soybean oil- or fish oil-fed, mice, a 2-week isolation stress decreased the lymphocyte proliferative response,...
