Nitric oxide (NO) is an attenuating agent for salt stress; however, the specific roles of NO in gas exchange and lettuce production are not well established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the application of different concentrations of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) as an agent to mitigate salt stress in lettuce plants. Lettuce seedlings in pots were subjected to irrigation without and with saline water (0.2 and 3.5 dS m−1) and applications of different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) of SNP, a NO donor. Saline stress negatively affected lettuce development with a reduction of 29.5% in leaf area, 6.3% in relative water content in the leaf, 17.2% in stem diameter, and 10.7% in dry matter mass in the control, but the application of SNP mitigated the deleterious effects of salt stress. Concentrations between 100 and 150 µM of SNP improved the photosynthetic metabolism of lettuce under salinity, with an increase of 46.7% in CO2 assimilation and 42.3% in fresh matter mass. Pearson’s correlation showed that fresh matter correlated positively with CO2 assimilation. Therefore, SNP can be used to mitigate salt stress in lettuce.","PeriodicalId":54759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Stresses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135301085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also elucidated the effect of KAE on the expression profiles of heat shock proteins (HSPs) 70 and 90 as well as the pro-apoptotic BCL2-associated X (BAX) protein and the anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) protein. Frozen samples supplemented with KAE were compared with a native control (fresh spermatozoa) and a cryopreserved control, frozen in the absence of KAE. Our results demonstrate that the administration of all KAE doses led to a higher degree of sperm motility (p < 0.05) when compared with the cryopreserved control. The highest levels of protection of sperm DNA (p < 0.05), lipids (p < 0.05) and proteins (p < 0.05) were detected in samples exposed to 25 μM KAE when compared with samples frozen without KAE. Administration of 25 μM KAE led to a significant increase in HSP70 and HSP90 (p < 0.05) when compared with the unsupplemented frozen control. No significant differences were observed in the expression patterns of BAX; however, a significant up-regulation of Bcl-2 protein was observed in the frozen samples enriched with 25 μM KAE when compared with the cryopreserved control (p < 0.05). In summary, we may consider KAE as an effective agent in stabilizing the sperm membranes by preventing reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction in the mitochondria and subsequent oxidative damage to molecules critical for a proper sperm architecture and function. These protective properties of KAE may lead to higher post-thaw sperm activity and viability.","PeriodicalId":54759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Stresses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135387679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It disrupts cellular ionic equilibrium, cell membrane integrity, metabolic balance, and the activities of enzymes and proteins, severely impacting physiological processes, plant development, and agricultural productivity. Although plants naturally activate defense mechanisms to mitigate the adverse effects of HM stress, they cannot completely prevent them. Phytohormones counter HM toxicity, aiding growth. External application and internal regulation via signaling/biosynthesis genes offer defense against HM-induced damage. A pivotal signaling molecule in plant adaptive responses to environmental stressors, including HM toxicity, is abscisic acid (ABA). Despite ABA’s role in abiotic stress responses such as drought and salinity, its function and crosstalk with other phytohormones under HM stress remain poorly understood. Nonetheless, exogenously applied ABA serves as a strategic approach to enhancing plants’ resistance to HM toxicity by promoting osmolyte accumulation and reinforcing antioxidant activity. ABA significantly regulates various plant growth and metabolic activities under diverse environmental conditions. This review highlights the effects of HM stress on plants and explores ABA involvement in production, signaling, catabolism, and transport within plant tissues. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the complex interplay between the metabolism of ABA, its signaling, and its interactions with other phytohormones (e.g., auxins, gibberellins, and ethylene) during HM exposure. Furthermore, we delve into the function of ABA to mitigate HM stress and elucidate its interactions with other phytohormones.","PeriodicalId":54759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Stresses","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136096677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A distinctive methodology is posited herein, intertwining the attributes of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analyses, augmented using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The primary objective is to meticulously ascertain the unadulterated geographic provenance of the ST25 rice cultivar. The findings unequivocally underscore the emergence of a conspicuous taxonomy within the ST25 rice samples sourced from Soc Trang, underpinned by the utilization of both FTIR and ICP-MS datasets. Remarkably, the discernment of eight elemental constituents (27Al, 59Co, 44Ca, 57Fe, 60Ni, 63Cu, 93Nb, and 98Mo) has been adjudicated as pivotal in ascribing geospatial classification. The ramifications of this proposed modality encompass not only the authentication of the subject rice variety but also extend to the validation of similar grain types.

Water impingement jet quenching involves phenomena such as nucleate boiling, Leidenfrost effect, rewetting, etc. Stronger thermal gradients could induce cracks in the material. Thermal boundary conditions of the process depends on temperature, space, time, and material discontinuity. This study mainly focuses on the thermal modeling of moving water jet quenching of semi-solid hot vertical aluminum plate with latent heat release during the solidification by using Peridynamics (PD). The obtained thermal profile is compared with the infrared camera’s thermal field data to identify the boiling curve parameters on the cracked plate. The PD model with the incorporation of cracking dynamics is giving agreeable results with the experimental thermal field. Modeling quenching heat transfer using PD will enhance the coupling of hot tear origination and propagation simulation, which is quite challenging with other numerical methods. The application of PD in quenching heat transfer with phase change is the first of its kind. The advantages and limitations of the peridynamic approach for this problem is critically evaluated and the simulated results are compared with the experimental measurement of temperature profiles.Keywords: Hot cracksperidynamicsphase changequench heat transferquenchingsemi-solid state AcknowledgmentsThe authors express their gratitude to Dr. Nyein Nyein Linn (AIRTF scholar) who came from Myanmar for the short-term research training at NIT-T.

In this paper, we use complex variable methods to obtain the thermoelastic fields around an elliptic cavity in a plate subjected to remote electric and thermal loads. Of particular interest is the fact that we consider the temperature dependency of the corresponding thermoelastic coefficients. We introduce an analytical method which is verified by the fact that it leads to results which reduce to the classical analytical results in the literature when the thermoelastic coefficients are taken to be temperature-independent. We find that when the elliptic cavity is reduced to the representation of a linear crack, the corresponding stress intensity factor increases to a greater extent under the temperature-dependent assumption versus the corresponding classical results. Our findings are significant in forming the basis for the analysis of the evolution of crack growth under severe temperature gradients such as those occurring as a result of Joule heat loading.Keywords: Crack arrestelectric currentJoule heatstress intensity factorstemperature-dependentthermoelastic fields Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe authors would like to thank support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) (11872203) and China Scholarship Council (CSC).

Subsequently, a subregion model is established by considering the different mechanical properties at different locations to predict the residual states in FSAM. Results indicate that equiaxed grains are formed in the stirring zone and that the average grain size can be decreased by increasing the build height. The yield strengths in the stirring and heat-affected zones increase along the build direction and decrease with increasing temperature. The error between the predicted and experimental yield strengths is 3.3%. By considering changes in the mechanical properties in the stirring and heat-affected zones, the distortion error between the experimental test and numerical model can be reduced by 25% compared with that between the experimental test and the conventional model. The predicted residual stresses can be reduced by considering the strength reduction caused by the friction stirring effect.
