Circadian, Light and Low Temperature Regulation of Nitrate Reductase in Tomato
The similarity in regulation between NR and sucrose phosphate synthase suggested that NR might be subject to low temperature disruptions in its endogenous rhythm as has been demonstrated for SPS in chilling-sensitive species such as tomato. NR regulation is in fact disrupted by low temperatures, …

Numerical Investigation of a Phase-Change Material Based Photovoltaic Panel Temperature Regulation System
… to the PCM container modules. For all cases, temperatures as a function of time at different locations of the container are reported. Results show that a deeper container regulates PV temperature for a longer time. In the finned configuration, as the length of the fins is increased and the …

Temperature responses to exercise and performance
The temperature responses to exercise have been a much investigated topic of intense research interest over the past 50 years. More recently, the effects of fluid ingestion on temperature regulation have been the focus of this area. The aim of this thesis is to undertake research to evaluate what …

Effects of Environmental Temperature on Sleep and Waking in Normal Rats and Rats With Basal Forebrain Damage
… structures) causes hyposomnia and impairs body temperature regulation. Normal sleep is sensitive to thermal stress--animals spend the most time asleep at thermoneutral temperatures, and amounts of sleep decline in the heat and in the cold. Amounts of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep in normal rats …
