Levels of stress

The scope of this work is threefold: (i) to develop a new model within the framework of hydro-mechanical – damage coupling that can account for the coupling between microcrack (damage), water diffusion and shrinkage at stake for concrete secondary creep; (ii) to implement it in an existing hydro-damage lattice model; (iii) to validate the model with respect to the flexural creep of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and Mortars under high sustained load level.

Salinity is one of the most devastating abiotic stresses limiting crop production. Considering this issue, a pot experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the boro season (2017-2018) using two rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties, namely BRRI dhan28 (salt sensitive) and BRRI dhan47 (salt tolerant), to assess the effects of varied salinity levels on the growth and the performance of the rice varieties under salt stress conditions.

The article approaches the basic theoretical foundation of anxiety disorders, on which “Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)” and “Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS- 42)” are used to measure the levels of anxiety disorder of 260 primary school and pre-school education students in Education Faculty - Dong Thap University. The research result aimed to clarify student’s level of anxiety disorder, level of anxiety, depression and stress (factors impacting on anxiety disorder).

Regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins were originally identified as negative regulators of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling via their GTPase-accelerating protein (GAP) activity. All RGS proteins contain evolutionarily conserved RGS domain; however, they differ in their size and regulatory domains. RGS1 and RGS10 are smaller than other RGS proteins, and their functions involve various inflammatory responses including autoimmune responses in both the periphery and the central nervous system (CNS). Neuroinflammation is the chronic inflammatory response in the CNS.

Three separate experiments were carried out to assess combined effects of temperature and salinity and induced stress on blood variables of Tra catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) fingerlings. Some hematological parameters included Haemoglobin concentration, glucose and pH levels which were tested in different conditions. The experiment 1 aimed to test how blood variables change in different temperature (24, 28-30, 32 oC) and salinity (0, 6 and 12 ppt) while the experiment 2 induced catfish fingerlings to different stress time (5, 15 and 30 min.).

An immuno-homologue of maize Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)dependent protein kinase with a molecular mass of 72 kDa was identified in pea. The pea kinase (PsCCaMK) was upregulated in roots in response to low temperature and increased salinity. Exogenous Ca2+ application increased the kinase level and the response was faster than that obtained following stress application. Low temperaturemediated, but not salinity-mediated stress kinase increase was inhibited by the application of EGTA and W7, a CaM inhibitor....

Here we show, for the ®rst time, thein vitro formation of ®lamentous aggregates of phosphorylated tau protein in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. The formation of suchaberrant aggregates, similar to thoseoccurringinvivoin Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies, requires okadaic acid, a phosphatase inhibitor, to increase the level of phos-phorylated tau, and hydroxynonenal, a product of oxidative stress that selectively adducts and modi®es phosphorylated tau.

The role of oxidative stress in pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus was investigated by measuring lipid peroxidation level, nitrite content, GSH con-centration, and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in the hippo-campus of Wistar rats. The control group was subcutaneously injected with 0.9% saline. The experimental group received pilocarpine (400 mgÆkg )1 , subcutaneous). Both groups were killed 24 h after treatment.
