OBJECTIVE Sleep disturbances have been thought to augment pain. Sleep deprivation has been proven to produce hyperalgesic effects. It is still unclear whether these changes are truly specific to pain and not related to general changes in somatosensory functions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of total sleep deprivation on thermal pain thresholds (heat, cold) and pain co...

In response to widespread looting of archaeological sites, archaeologists have used satellite imagery to enable the investigation of looting of affected archaeological sites. Such analyses often require time-consuming direct human interpretation of images, with the potential for human-induced error. We introduce a novel automated image processing mechanism applied to the analysis of very high-r...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the existence cold-air pools on anticyclonic nights in a narrow urban valley where three hospital units and road with intense traffic are located slopes associated proximity medium-size mountain introduce different factors from that observed other valleys phenomenon forms cold, calm nights. On these nights, it develop just after sunset, opposition ri...

Temperature is the dominant environmental factor affecting cotton development and yield. Chilling temperatures can significantly reduce cotton yield. The ability to screen cotton for cold tolerance can lead to the development of cultivars that can maintain yield and quality in marginal cotton growing regions where exposure to chilling stress is more common. This study tests the hypothesis that ...

Grapevine flower development and fruit set are influenced by cold nights in the vineyard. To investigate the impact of cold stress on carbon metabolism in the inflorescence, we exposed the inflorescences of fruiting cuttings to chilling and freezing temperatures overnight and measured fluctuations in photosynthesis and sugar content. Whatever the temperature, after the stress treatment photosyn...
