Alternative splicing (AS) produces multiple messenger RNAs by combining different regions of the precursor transcript to produce diversity in gene products. Under stress conditions, many genes produce transcripts that are not otherwise produced during normal conditions. Plant growth and development are extensively affected by environmental stresses. In this study, we combine Differentially Alternatively...
Edge Mining (EM), a novel Fog Computing technique, has been proposed to perform data analysis on sensor devices at the edge of Internet of Things (IoT). The approach, however, is limited to analysis conducted by each sensor node in isolation. In this paper, we propose Collaborative Edge Mining (CEM), an extension of the EM technique, wherein multiple sensor devices participate together in on-site...
Recently, the Moroccan poultry industry has become an important sector of activity for the Moroccan economy. This industrial activity significantly contributes not only in the national economic growth, but also in the national food security. Nevertheless, this sector is currently facing numerous challenges that hinder its progress. One of the major obstacles facing poultry industry in morocco is climate...
Heat stress (HS) causes cows to produce less milk with the same nutritional input, which effectively increases farmers' production costs. The economic toll due to higher-temperature, heat stress is a $1 billion annual problems. Not only in the United States, but also around the globe heat stress causes an adverse impact on dairy productivity. The opportunities, however, for the dairy industry is to...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the optimum muscle temperature required to maintain work performance with attenuation of heat stress. Nine male subjects (23±0.36 year) performed eight 8-sec bouts of maximal cycling exercise at a load intensity of 60% of their peak power output, with a 40-sec resting period between bouts, in a room maintained at 24.8±0.2°C and 52±1% relative humidity....
This paper presents the investigation of ventilation effects towards temperature distribution in rabbit cage environment. The research involved simple ventilation mechanism, rabbit cage housing and temperature data logger. Ventilation is created by varying voltage supply of fan which is installed in rabbit housing. Data for temperature distribution then will be acquired using temperature data logger...
Temperature monitoring play an important role in many processes especially in the livestock sector. Animal behavior usually depends on the temperature. In order to produce a good and healthy livestock animal, an environment monitoring is a must due to global warming and climate changes. These research applied LM35 temperature sensor as a main transponder to measure the temperature of rabbit cage environment...
Structural stress is one of the main factors that influence the performance of micromachined gyroscopes. This paper mainly analyzed the origin of heat stress and its impact. Then an elastic stress-released frame structure was designed to reduce the heat stress of the micromachined gyroscope. Simulations were done to prove the effect of the novel structure. Also, a dry-wet-etch-combined fabrication...
Relevant researches in the past semi century have shown that there is a significant decrease in fertility during the hot months. The most important factor is a consequence of increased temperature. Heat stress (HS) can have large effects on most aspects of reproductive function in mammals. In this paper, the effects and possible mechanisms of heat stress on the reproduction of mammalians are discussed...
Red clover isoflavone already became a kind of health food and pharmaceuticals raw material. In order to study the effect of red clover isoflavone on antioxidant and immune performance of chicken under heat stress conditions, two hundred and forty 1-day-old AA chicken were randomly assigned to three groups, control, group 1 and group 2, basic diet, basic diet+red clover isoflavone (10 mg·kg−1) and...
The temperature distribution on the exhaust pipe wall is uniform due to function of high temperature exhaust fumes and influence of its complex structure, and which causes high heat stress in some part body of the exhaust pipe. How to accurately simulate the heat stress distribution is an issue. In this paper, a new heat-solid coupled theory which can effectively resolve the interaction of boundary...
We design and implement a system to reduce the risk of heat stress, a recognized occupational health hazard (OHH), in two labor intensive industries using a job-combination approach. A novel feature of the system is employing artificial neural networks (ANNs) as model free estimators to evaluate perceived discomforts (PDs) of workers for different job combinations proposed in the work.
Electrostatic precipitators have been applied for pre-charging dust particles suspended in diesel exhaust. Followed by a diesel particulate filter (DPF), nano-size particles can be removed from the gas stream efficiently. Removed particles from the gas stream can be oxidized at 600 degree C. However, heat stress occasionally breaks DPF, and low temperature oxidation below 200 degree C is preferable...
The paper deals with a doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) supplied by two PWM voltages inverters. The authors impose a power distribution law between stator and rotor sides, and define the power converter designs. They justify that, in the same power conditions, the proposed DFIM speed drive is better then usual induction motor one. To design both inverters, two arguments are studied. The first one...
