Abstract:

Thermal scavenging is a unique behavior restricted to a few desert ant genera. Workers are among the most thermotolerant land animals known to this day, being able to survive body temperatures of sometimes more than 50°C for several minutes. Making use of their remarkable heat-hardiness, they search for food in plain day, a feat that other desert creatures cannot accomplish. They mostly feed on the corpses of heat-stricken, less tolerant arthropods that were unable to survive the blazing sun of the midday desert. Thermal scavenging has evolved independently at least three times in distantly re

Abstract:

Thermal adaptation in freshwater planktonic crustacean Daphnia pulex has been investigated by means of heatshock (35°C) experiments using individuals acclimated to different water temperatures (18, 24, and 28°C). Retention of mobility and survival during the heatshock experiments differed among clones and strongly depended on acclimation temperature: clones acclimated to substressful temperature (28°C) survived significantly longer than clones acclimated to lower temperatures. Both retention of mobility and survival correlated with geographic latitude of the clones' origin. There was, on the o

Most advice for improving physiological strain in the heat includes maintaining hydration using long-term acclimation protocols (>10 days). Therefore, the major aims of this thesis were to examine; (i) effectiveness of short term (5-day) heat acclimation (STHA) with moderately and highly trained athletes; (ii) fluid regulatory strain has a thermally-independent role in heat adaptation; and, (iii) impact of STHA on a marker of thermotolerancè (inducible heat shock protein 70; HSP70).

The emphasis for UK dwelling refurbishment to date has centred on reducing heating energy use. However, there has been increasing evidence pointing to the need for a more holistic approach. Many existing dwellings already experience overheating during hot weather periods. Climate change projections predict increases in both the frequency and severity of extreme weather events including heat waves such as the one in August 2003, which is estimated to have claimed the lives of over 35,000 people throughout Europe, including 2,000 in the UK.

Shale barrens are unique habitats located throughout the southern Appalachians. They are characterized by a south or south west aspect, a steep slope, and an exposed rocky surface (Platt, 1951). They have a high total irradiance and can experience temperatures higher than the surrounding deciduous forest. A variety of plant species, several of which are rare or endangered, are endemic to the shale barren habitat. One reason proposed fc)r their endemism is that the plants are obligate heliophyt:es (Keener, 1983). The purpose of this dissertation is tel examine the acclimation ability of the s

To achieve this, governance structures and decision-making approaches that promote flexible and/or robust adaptation action are required.

Increasing the awareness and knowledge about district heating companies was also identified as a factor that could entail several benefits.

Abstract:

The Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) is an essential and highly conserved chaperone that facilitates the maturation of a wide array of client proteins, including many kinases. These clients in turn regulate a wide array of cellular processes, such as signal transduction, and transcriptional reprogramming. As a result, the activity of Hsp90 has the potential to influence physiology, which in turn may influence the ability to adapt to new environments. Previous studies using a deep mutational scanning approach, (EMPIRIC) identified multiple substitutions within a 9 amino acid substrate-binding loop

Global climate change is anticipated to raise the overall temperatures and is likely to increase future mortality attributable to heat. Predicting future health consequences of higher temperatures at the regional, national and global level based on historical temperature-mortality relationships can be challenging due in part to the uncertainties in the location-specific temperature-mortality relationship, the heat threshold, and how populations will adapt or acclimatize.

Foodborne illnesses caused by Listeria monocytogenes have long been associated with ready-to-eat (RTE) meats contaminated after the primary thermal process has been applied.

Re-circulating ultraviolet light (UV) systems are being used to inactivate L. monocytogenes in chill brines; however very little has been reported on the dose response of healthy and stressed L. monocytogenes to UV in brine solutions

Urban populations worldwide are expanding rapidly and consequently a large number of people are becoming exposed to hazards inherent in cites. Phenomena such as the urban heat island can exacerbate the effects of heatwaves, and land surface sealing can lead to flash flooding. Cities are also the sites of enhanced air and water pollution from non-point sources such as concentrated motor vehicle use. Climate change predictions for the UK include increased winter precipitation and an increase in frequency of summer heatwaves. This will put further pressure on urban residents and infrastructure. R

Abstract:

Les vagues de chaleur sont encore peu documentées au Sahel, malgré un impact très fort sur les populations. L'objectif de cette thèse est d'apporter de nouvelles connaissances et une meilleure compréhension des processus et mécanismes mis en jeu dans les vagues de chaleur au Sahel au printemps. L'étude se structure autour de trois axes : (i) la détection des vagues de chaleur, (ii) la documentation de leurs caractéristiques morphologiques, dynamiques et thermodynamiques ainsi que leurs tendances climatiques et (iii) la compréhension des processus et mécanismes en jeu lors de ces événements.

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease, including heart failure, is the leading cause of death among male and female Middle Eastern Americans. In 2016, a medical center located in the northeastern region of the United States had an estimated 35% of heart failure patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge, 10% of these readmitted patients belonged to the local Middle Eastern community. The gap in nursing practice noted by nursing staff, patients, and their families was that the patient education materials on heart failure were not tailored to the cultural beliefs and customs of this high-risk population.

Abstract:

Avec la montée en charge de l’informatisation des systèmes d’information hospitaliers, une quantité croissante de données est produite tout au long de la prise en charge des patients. L’utilisation secondaire de ces données constitue un enjeu essentiel pour la recherche ou l’évaluation en santé. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous discutons les verrous liés à la représentation et à la sémantique des données, qui limitent leur utilisation secondaire en cancérologie. Nous proposons des méthodes basées sur des ontologies pour l’intégration sémantique des données de diagnostics. En effet, ces donné

Abstract:

Thermochemical heat storage (TCS) is a thermal energy storage (TES) technology used to store thermal energy for later use. TCS can provide heating or cooling services from intermittently available thermal energy, often low grade waste heat. The system studied here stores and releases the energy in the form of chemical energy by utilizing reversible chemical reactions. TCS has potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase infrastructure system efficiency, lower society-wide energy system costs and by that contribute to sustainable development. This thesis is part of a joint TCS researc

Abstract:

Les projections climatiques prévoient une amplification du réchauffement climatique, potentiellement exacerbée en milieu urbain du fait du phénomène d’îlot de chaleur urbain. La recrudescence d’évènements extrêmes comme les canicules peut avoir des conséquences écologiques, sanitaires, et économiques dramatiques à l’échelle des villes qui concentrent la population. Parmi les mesures d’adaptation visant à améliorer le confort climatique et la demande énergétique, la climatisation et le verdissement urbain constituent deux leviers d’action aux effets parfois antagonistes.
