Abstract:
Green open spaces have a purpose and a great benefit for the balance, continuity, health, comfort, sustainability, and improving the quality of urban environment. Air temperature increases occurred in areas experiencing decline in green open spaces. Among the parameters that contribute to human comfort outdoors, thermal comfort is the most important and significant in determining the quality of outdoor space. The study focuses on analyze the perceptions and preferences of user to the thermal comfort as a quality indicator of park. Methods used are Chi-Square to analyze perception-preference of

Abstract:
Population ageing presents significant challenges for many countries, one of which is the provision of adequate housing. Developing understanding of the needs and preferences of ageing societies will be crucial in order to assist in the provision of suitable housing and communities that are sustainable in the long term. While a preference to ‘age in place’ is clear in the literature, comparatively less academic research is available on older people’s preferences for more specific housing and environment attributes.

Abstract:
Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant that increases dopamine and noradrenaline levels. Recent studies have shown that methylphenidate potentiates the effect of morphine and together suppress acute and chronic pain. In clinical practice, methylphenidate has been used as a treatment for ADHD and changes of pain threshold have been noted in these patients. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of methylphenidate in an animal model of peripheral neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain was modeled by the chronic constriction of the sciatic nerve (CCI) in Wistar rats. We evaluated the effect

Trehalose, a sugar from fungi, mimics starvation due to a block of glucose transport and induces Transcription Factor EB- mediated autophagy, likely supported by the upregulation of progranulin.

Enhancing autophagy also contributes to the resolution of neuropathic pain in mice.

In the context of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, the power industry has become a key and challenging place to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the economy and society. We selected green power generation enterprises and thermal power generation enterprises in the power industry as the research objects and applied relevant theories such as game theory and low-carbon economy theory to analyze the low-carbon transformation path of electricity under the “dual carbon” goal. We quantitatively analyzed the competition and cooperation relationship between green pow

Abstract:
Lungless salamanders of the family Plethodontidae have historically been considered to be passive conformers to their surrounding thermal environment because there is no evidence that they thermoregulate behaviourally in the field. In contrast, plethodontids readily choose optimal temperatures when placed on experimental thermal gradients. It has been hypothesized that restriction to moist habitats prevents these salamanders from exploiting thermally diverse microhabitats in nature. We tested this hypothesis, as well as the hypothesis that response to temperature differs among plethodontid spe

Abstract:
The recent COVID pandemic has contributed to the shift in consumer preferences towards high-quality products, while industries seek low-energy technologies with minimal greenhouse gas emissions. To address these demands, this review explores electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying, a non-thermal drying process that uses significantly less energy than traditional methods. In EHD drying, a high-voltage supply between two electrodes creates a corona wind that rapidly dries food products placed on a grounded electrode. The energy used during drying is much less than the latent heat of vaporization, indic

The brown brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) is a species of neotropical ungulate that inhabits several countries in South America. In Argentina, it is distributed in the northern portion of the country, while historical records do not mention it in the province of Mendoza. However, in the Categorization of Mammals of Argentina (2019), the NE of Mendoza is proposed as a potential distribution area of the species. In this work we confirm the presence of the brown brocket deer in the province of Mendoza (locality of Desaguadero - RAMSAR Site), and we also evaluate its activity patterns and habita

Thermolysis of 2-acyloxy-2,5,5-trialkyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines in benzene solution at 80 °C furnishes acyloxy-substituted enol ethers (hemiacylals) in high yield. Mixtures of cis:trans isomers of such oxadiazolines afford mixtures of isomeric hemiacylals in nearly the same ratio. Those and other results are rationalized in terms of cycloreversion of the oxadiazolines to carbonyl ylides that are not equilibrated during their lifetimes and undergo primarily 1,4-sigmatropic H-migration. Some fragmentation of the ylides to anhydrides and carbenes was also observed. A consistent mechanistic account

AbstractIn ectotherms, variation in body temperature (Tb) affects physiological performance and, ultimately, fitness. Therefore, reptiles regulate Tb behaviourally by choosing habitats of optimal temperature. The main goal of this study was to determine the link between patterns of thermoregulation and habitat selection in Common Musk Turtles inhabiting a thermally challenging region. We expected habitat selection to be based on the fulfillment of thermoregulatory requirements, which can be accomplished by selecting thermally superior habitats.

Until recently, marine scientists have relied heavily on satellite sea surface temperatures and terrestrial weather stations as indicators of the way in which the thermal environment, and hence the body temperatures of organisms, vary over spatial and temporal scales. We designed biomimetic temperature loggers for three species of rocky intertidal invertebrates to determine whether mimic body temperatures differ from the external environment and among species and microhabitats. For all three species, microhabitat temperatures were considerably higher than the body temperatures, with difference

Ectotherms can elevate their body temperature in response to infection by seeking warmer environments, a phenomenon known as behavioral fever. This adaptive response, widely documented in fish, activates immune defenses and improves survival. To explore an eco-friendly approach for managing Vibrio-induced enteritis in lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus) aquaculture, we investigated whether Vibrio harveyi infection triggers behavioral fever and enhances immune function.
