Shortly after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a need to provide protective equipment to the medical facilities whose supplies were threatened to be depleted. Just like many countries in Europe, Montenegro responded to the need for me...
This work reports fabrication of polylactide (PLA) films doped with various additives of an amorphous Eu(III) complex. We study the temperature behavior of the luminescence intensity and lifetime of the PLA-Eu(III) composites in the range of 298&ndas...
Controlling body temperature is a matter of life or death for most animals, and in mammals the complex thermoregulatory system is comprised of thermoreceptors, thermosensors, and effectors. The activity of thermoreceptors and thermoeffectors has been...
The expression of genes of interest (GOI) can be initiated by providing external stimuli such as temperature shifts and light irradiation. The application of thermal or light stimuli triggers structural changes in stimuli-sensitive biomolecules withi...
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a major threat to the food industry and human health owing to its strong protease production and biofilm formation abilities. However, information regarding regulatory factors or potential mechanisms is limited. Herein...
Infrared thermography is an advanced technique usually applied for the assessment of thermal losses through different elements of the building envelope, or as a method for detection of damage (cracks) in reinforced concrete elements, such as bridges....
The heat-shock response, a universal protective mechanism consisting of a transcriptional reprogramming of the cellular transcriptome, results in the accumulation of proteins which counteract the deleterious effects of heat-stress on cellular polypep...
Luminescent temperature sensors are of great interest because they allow remote determination of temperature in transparent media, such as living tissues, as well as on scattering or transparent surfaces of materials. This study analyzes the luminesc...
Photomorphogenic development in seedlings may be diagnostic of future plant performance. In this report, we characterize the Thai Oakleaf lettuce genotype, as it exhibited abnormalities in photomorphogenic development that were the most conspicuous u...
1H NMR measurements are reported for the CD2Cl2/CDCl3 solutions of the Co(II) calix[4]arenetetraphosphineoxide complex (I). Temperature dependences of the 1H NMR spectra of I have been analyzed using the line shape analysis, taking into account the t...
Temperature is an essential physical characteristic that influences all biological processes. Building on previous research on dialkylamino-functionalized rhodamine-based thermo-sensors, we investigate herein the thermosensitive properties of triamin...
Plants respond to higher ambient temperatures by modifying their growth rate and habitus. This review aims to summarize the accumulated knowledge obtained with Arabidopsis seedlings grown at normal and elevated ambient temperatures. Thermomorphogenes...
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 channel (TRPA1) serves as a key sensor for reactive electrophilic compounds across all species. Its sensitivity to temperature, however, differs among species, a variability that has been attributed to an evolut...
We present the generalized experimental results of performance degradation of hydrogen sensors based on metal-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistor (MISFET)with the structure Pd-Ta2O5-SiO2-Si. The n-channel MISFET elements were fabricated o...
Temperature is a critical abiotic factor regulating the physiology, growth, and reproduction of ectothermic aquatic animals. In China, the rapid expansion of the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii) industry faces significant challenges due to sea...
Temperature homeostasis is controlled by the vagus nerve. Thermal information is collected by thermoreceptors present in the viscera and driven across sensory neurons of the nodose ganglia (NG), which in turn send it to the hypothalamus. While transi...
Functional molecules possessing photoluminescence (PL) and liquid-crystalline (LC) behaviors, known as photoluminescent liquid crystals, along with a small molecular structure, have attracted significant attention. Fluorinated tolane skeletons are sm...
Photoluminescent liquid-crystalline (PLLC) molecules, which can easily tune the PL behavior through the crystal (Cry)–LC phase transition, have attracted significant attention. Previously, we have demonstrated that the incorporation of a semifl...
The vanilloid transient receptor potential channel TRPV3 is a putative molecular thermosensor widely considered to be involved in cutaneous sensation, skin homeostasis, nociception, and pruritus. Repeated stimulation of TRPV3 by high temperatures abo...
In Escherichia coli, the mRNA transcribed from the main cold-shock gene cspA is a thermosensor, which at low temperature adopts a conformation particularly suitable for translation in the cold. Unlike cspA, its paralogue cspD is expressed only at 37...
Photoluminescent liquid crystals with photoluminescence (PL) and liquid-crystalline (LC) properties have attracted attention as PL-switching materials owing to their thermally induced phase transitions, such as crystal → smectic A/nematic →...
The present study aimed to assess the effect of dietary betaine (B) and/or creatine (C) on performance and thermoregulatory responses of broiler chicks. Indian River broiler chicks, fitted with compact thermosensors, were reared to market age (five w...
Background: Pinellia ternata is a major medicinal herb widely utilized in traditional medicine, but is sensitive to high temperature, which often triggers a severe “sprout tumble” phenomenon. Methods: To elucidate the molecular mechanisms...
