We focus on EHST events as a subset of all extreme weather events primarily because EHST events are an important cause of death and disease in advanced and developing countries (de Perez et al., 2018) and, in the United States, they associate with high physical and human cost compared to ...
Interestingly, TLR2/4 stimulation influenced all monocyte subsets by dampening the MHC-II expression level (normalized values below 1); this trend was also observed for TLR3/7/8, but clearly to a lesser extent (Figure 2A). This finding was not observed in DCs, the major APC subset. These...
As sex-determining mechanisms, TSD and GSD should be considered in an equivalent manner [13], which leads to reconsider the status of fish species that are claimed to have TSD when submitted to extreme temperatures instead of the temperature experienced during development in the wild since changes...
Due to the difficulties in precise labeling of the interface areas and for accurate results, a three-staged segmentation was performed, where the first stage computes the gradient magnitude of the image that identifies all the boundaries through thresholding. The pore space (dark pixels) and the ...
In this case, the collapse of all points to a single line is an obvious consequence of the procedure followed to determine Teff. However, we find that the conductivity scales with a power law in Teff, , as indicated by the solid line, with minor deviations at high temperatures. We have ...
The historical time series used in this work refers to the average maximum monthly air temperature of the meteorological stations in the Cerrado, Pantanal and Atlantic Forest biomes: (Fig. 1). All of them are located in the hydrographic basin of the Paraguay and Paraná rivers, on the territor...
Body condition of the two-spotted goby was similar in all treatments, as suggested by the lack of significant differences in Fulton’s K index. A previous study on the effects of low pH on reproductive performance of the two-spotted goby also showed no difference in the K index3. Although...
Check for transition states (one imaginary frequency in output file) Check if empirical dispersion is used and consistent across all output files Single Point Calculation Checks Same version and program used for all single point calculations Same solvation model used across output files Same level of...
(Pendergast, 1988), displacement of venous blood into the upper thorax. This involves all dependent tissues (Arborelius et al., 1972), but primarily the abdominal structures (Johansen et al., 1997), and it elevates the role of conduction in organs so affected. Lower-body exercise elevates ...
Assembly and thermal insulation of multi-temperature control system: The multi-temperature control is realized by conduction heat transfer, so it is crucial to connect all components tightly (Supplementary Fig. 16b). The assembly method should be as simple as possible. In addition, to eliminate the...
