Development of submicrocrystalline structure in biomedical alloy such as Ti-13Nb-13Zr (in wt%) through warm-rolling process has been found to enhance mechanical properties compared to conventional thermomechanical processing routes including hot-rolling process. The present study investigated the tribological and corrosion behaviors of warm-rolled (WR) and hot-rolled Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloys which h...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Several physiological changes affecting physical fitness occur in humans whenever they are exposed to extremes of environments such as heat, cold and high altitude (HA). The present study was undertaken to evaluate effect of stay in desert and HA on physical fitness and body composition of physically active individuals. METHODS Study was conducted on three groups of ma...

213(2): 547-556* 1967* -An attempt has been made to ascribe the regulation of body temperature in homeotherms to the hypothalamus and the preoptic region. Results of measurements of hypothalamic temperature and regulatory responses in the normal dog in hot, neutral, and cold environments and in the resting, waking state are interpreted on the assumption that the hypothalamus responds to changes...

The focal point of this limited review is bioenergetic research conducted in the Biological Engineering Research Unit at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), using recently developed instrumentation and analytical techniques. The dynamics of observed thermoregulatory responses in cattle to thermal heat load challenges are explored, with an emphasis on physiological and behavioral parame...

We present a relativistic in-medium three-body equation to study correlations in hot and dense quark matter. The equation is solved for a zero-range force for parameters close to the phase transition of QCD.

background : in the hot weather overweight and obesity are considered as significant risk factors for incidence of cardiac strain in workers. this study is aimed to compare cardiac strain among overweight and normal-weighted workers in hot and humid conditions of the south of iran. methods : this cross-sectional study was conducted on 71 workers in the south of iran in the summer of 2010. the h...

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence, onset, duration and severity of hot flashes in men after bilateral orchidectomy (BO) for prostate cancer, to evaluate body temperature changes during hot flashes and to determine whether an elevated temperature within a few days after BO can be caused by deprivation of androgen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (n = 101) were questioned about the characterist...
