Seed dormancy and germination niches of Mediterranean species along an altitudinal gradient in Sardinia
… work, the effect of environmental factors on the thermal requirements for seed dormancy loss and germination of Mediterranean species was evaluated. Target species, located in Sardinia along an altitudinal gradient, have been chosen giving priority to endemic species as well as to the taxa with a …

Germination niche of Sardinian endemic species in mountain riparian deciduous forests
… accumulated temperature could be modelled by a thermal time (θ) approach; in this model, seeds accumulate units of thermal time (°Cd) to germinate for a percentile g of the population. When seeds are subjected to temperatures (T) above a base temperature for germination (Tb), germination rate …

Genetic connectivity, adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity of corals and anemones under thermal stress
… In this context, I explore three case studies of thermal stress in corals and anemones. I begin with massive Porites lobata corals from the central Pacific. Here, reefs that are most affected by El Niño, such as Jarvis and the northeast Phoenix Islands maintain genetic diversity indicating …

Shoulder pain after stroke: prevalence, contributing factors and consequences in daily life
… somatosensory abnormalities were assessed with thermal and mechanical thresholds using the Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) method. No significant difference in QST measurements were found between the groups with and without PSSP, but both stroke groups had generally higher thermal thresholds …

The measurement of vascular and neurological function in workers exposed to hand-transmitted vibration
… the methods are: i) measures of vibrotactile thresholds at the fingertips and ii) measures of thermal thresholds at the fingertips.<br/><br/>Measures of the FSBP and the FST response to cold provocation were appraised in 109 dockyard workers. The FST test did not differentiate between 82 …

Liposuction in Dercum's disease. Clinical studies regarding Dercum's disease and the effect of liposuction.
… were to investigate the effect of liposuction on thermal and sensory sensation, to examine the effect of liposuction on the pain experienced by patients, to examine neuropeptide levels in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, and to investigate the inflammatory signs in adipose tissue of patients with …

VISUAL CUES EFFECTS ON TEMPERATURE PERCEPTION
<p>The purpose of this study was to measure reaction times (RTs) when a conflict arises between the visual feedback and the temperature of an object. This study focused on the quantifiable RTs along with the qualitative feedback of the participants. It was hypothesized that when the information of …
