dna methylation as an epigenetic mediator plays the important role in spatial and temporal gene regulation and ensures the stability and the plasticity of organism. in this investigation, methylation sensitive amplification polymorphism (msap) were assessed in ccgg sites on a halophytic plant, aeluropuslittoralis in response to different temperature stresses including freezing, low and high tem...

to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of l-carnitine on resistance to temperature and salinity stresses in sobaity fry, an experiment was carried out with 240 pieces of fish with average initial weight of 3.01±0.03 g for 10 weeks. experimental treatments were consisted of four levels of 0, 500, 1000 and 1800 (respectively control, lc500, lc1000 and lc1800) mg l-carnitine per kg o...

thermo-elasto-plastic analyses of thick-walled spherical tanks made of functionally graded materials are investigated analytically. these tanks are subjected to positive or negative temperature gradient and internal pressure loadings separately or simultaneously. the power law modeling has been used for through-the-thickness variation of mechanical properties. von mises yield criterion and elas...

abstract background: heat is one of the most important of harmful agents in many working environments such as bakeries that can cause prevalence of diseases related to heat and falling of efficiency. aim of this study was exposure evaluation of isfahan bakers to heat stresses in their working environment through evaluation of relationship among wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) , oral tem...

The present paper is devoted to the determination of displacement, stresses and temperature from three dimensional anisotropic half spaces due to presence of heat source. The normal mode analysis technique has been used to the basic equations of motion and generalized heat conduction equation proposed by Green-Naghdi model-II [1]. The resulting equation are written in the form of a vector –matr...

This study addresses the problem of thermal stress development in bulky specimens during cryopreservation via vitrification (vitreous means glassy in Latin). While this study is a part of an ongoing effort to associate the developing mechanical stress with the relevant physical properties of the cryopreserved media and to its the thermal history, the current paper focuses exclusively on the rol...

in this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical temperature and pressure in a fgm hollow cylinder under the internal pressure and temperature is developed. it has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and thermal coefficient of expansion were varying through thickness of the fgm material according to a power law relationship. the poisson's...

The present article deals with the analysis of thermal-bending stresses in a heated thin annular sector plate with simply supported boundary condition under transient temperature distribution using Berger’s approximate methods. The sectional heat supply is on the top face of the plate whereas the bottom face is kept at zero temperature. In this study, the solution of heat conduction is obtained...

the unsteady free convection flow between two long vertical parallel plates withvariable temperature and mass diffusion in the presence of the thermal radiation hasbeen presented. the governing dimensionless coupled linear partial differentialequations on the flow are solved by using the laplace transform technique. theexact solutions have been obtained for the fluid velocity, temperature and t...
