Ectothermic organisms often experience considerable variation in their body temperature throughout the circadian cycle. However, studies focusing on the measurement of physiological traits are usually performed under ...

Animais ectotérmicos têm suas funções fisiológicas fortemente influenciadas pela temperatura. Por exemplo, taxas metabólicas e de crescimento destes animais podem ser afetadas pela temperatura corpórea. Estudos com foco ...

Damage-tolerant designs admit the pre-existence of defects and small cracks, which lead to stress redistribution in structural components. The accurate knowledge of the stress field in parts under these conditions is ...

We model the contribution of the stresses generated by the topography and density heterogeneities in the stress field of NE Brazil, and the interplay between these and regional stresses. Our model consists of a ...

Studies on morphological and physiological variables are important to assist in the characterization and understanding of the stress tolerance mechanisms and the choice of cultivars with better performance in contrasting ...

Stressful experiences appear to have a strong influence on susceptibility to drug taking behavior. Cross-sensitization between stress and drug-induced locomotor response has been found. Locomotor response to novelty or ...

Much of the literature on political economy expects complementarities between (universal) welfare regimes and production regimes. This article draws from Costa Rica’s showcase of human development and universalistic ...
