the highest temperatures of the world are recorded in dry and warm climates. this can especially be observed in deserts, where vegetations and soil moisture are very low. as a result, the soil surface receives high thermal energy and its temperature rises up. the lut desert has the above characteristics, making it a suitable environment to prepare land surface temperature (lst) models. objectiv...

the methanol extract of ichnocarpus frutescens r.br. root (meif) was evaluated for its anti-pyretic potential on normal body temperature and yeast-induced pyrexia in albino rats. yeast suspension (10 ml/kg body wt.) increased rectal temperature 19 h after subcutaneous injection. the meif, at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg body wt., p.o., produced significant reduction in normal body temperatu...

quinoa (chenepodium quinoa willd) is a grain-like crop which has a high production potential in iran. due to its seeds high nutritional value, it is compared with milk by the fao. in order to study the effects of temperatures on seed germination of quinoa seeds under salinity stress conditions, an experiment was conducted in seed lab of the university of tehran in karaj. temperatures regimes in...

abstract accurate prediction of hourly minimum temperature is required for various crop models which simulate photosynthesis and transpiration. such data can be used for crop protection and reducing the crops injuries due to freezing as well. our objective of this study is employing trigonometric and pattern recognition (k-nn) approaches to evaluate their potential in prediction of hourly tempe...

A meta-analysis to mathematically summarize the effect of hot and cold temperature exposure on performance was completed. The results from 515 effect sizes calculated from 22 original studies suggest that hot and cold temperatures negatively impact performance on a wide range of cognitive-related tasks. More specifically, hot temperatures of 90 degrees F (32.22 degrees C) Web Bulb Globe Tempera...

Background and Aim: Considering the great advances and extensive use of cell phones and its effects on the human communications and interactions, investigation of potential negative effects of cell phones on the users' health is necessary. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the distance between cell phones and brain tissue on the temperature of the central and gray matters of ...

objective(s) physiological changes in the body may be utilized as potential triggers for controlled drug delivery. based on these mechanisms, stimulus-responsive drug delivery has been developed. materials and methods in this study, a kind of poly (n-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) membrane was prepared by radical copolymerization. changes in swelling ratios and diameters of the membrane were i...
