SUMMARYSeeds of wild safflower, Carthamus oxyacantha Bieb., collected from the Bajgah area, Iran, were subjected to chilling and/or scarification and their germination and emergence characteristics and seedling growth were studied in two laboratory experiments. Seeds of Arak 2811 variety of cultivated safflower, C. tinctorius L., harvested from the same area at the same time was used for comparison.In the first experiment, the untreated, scarified, chilled at 0 °C for 1 month, and chilled and scarified wild seed and seed of the variety Arak 2811 were incubated at six different temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C) and their germination percentage and seedling lengths were recorded. In the second experiment, the seeds of the above five treatments were planted in a silty clay loam at room temperature (23 ± 2 °C) and their emergence and seedling heights were noted.In all cases, the cultivated variety, Arak 2811, had higher germination and emergence percentages and seedling heights than the wild type. Germination of both strains was greatly reduced at the two extreme temperatures (5 and 30 °C). The optimum temperatures for germination of the wild and the cultivated strains were between 15 and 20 °C.Scarification of the wild seed did not improve the germination or emergence percentages and chilling of the seed for a month at 0 °C reduced the emergence of the wild seed. Temperature of germination, however, seemed to be an important factor affecting germination and seedling growth of wild safflower.

Seeds of wild safflower (Carthamus oxyacanthaBieb.) collected from the Bajgah area, Iran, in 2 successive years were subjected to stratification and scarification treatments and their germination percentage and subsequent seedling growth (length) were measured at room temperature (23 ± 2 C). Maximum germination and seedling length occurred in the seeds stratified in moist sand at 4 C for 2 weeks. The response of the freshly-harvested seed to scarification was linear while that for 1-yr-old seed was quadratic. Both scarification and stratification independently increased germination but germination never reached the viability level of the seed.

ABSTRACTObjective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of temperature on fluoride uptake by enamel specimens from a 0.05% NaF-fluoridated mouthrinse (Oral-B Advantage; Oral-B Laboratories, Newbridge, UK).Methods: Enamel specimens were prepared from extracted human maxillary central incisors. A fluoride-specific ion electrode was used to measure the uptake from a 2 ppm fluoride solution containing 50.0 mL of distilled water, total ion strength adjustment buffer, and fluoridated rinse at 3 different temperatures (room temperature, 25°C; human body temperature, 37°C; hyper-fever temperature, 43°C). One-way analysis of variance and least significant difference were used to assess intragroup and intergroup differences (P<.05).Results: The study found that both the amount and the rate of fluoride uptake increased significantly with increase in temperature. This effect was particularly noticeable at 43°C.Conclusions: The temperature of the NaF mouthrinse may easily and safely be increased beyond room temperature by placing a container of the NaF mouthrinse in a bowl of hot water, allowing greater fluoride penetration into the enamel from the mouthrinse when used at home as a routine prophylactic agent.

The structure of 2-amino-6-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-(tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]dec-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine was refined using data collected at three different temperatures [room temperature (293 K), 150 K and 85 K] with the use of an image-plate scanner in an attempt to study the effect of temperature on the disorder of the adamantyl group. It is demonstrated that the data collected with the rotation method and an image-plate scanner are of a high enough quality to be used for the refinement of small-molecule structures.

Aims: By studying the response of seed germination and seedling growth of invasive plants, Rorippa amphibia and Rorippa sylvestris, to temperature, the influence of temperature on the invasive ability of two species of Rorippa were further analyzed, which provided a theoretical basis for revealing the diffusion and invasion mechanism of two invasive plants in Rorippa. Study Design: Seed germination and seedling growth test of two invasive plants in Rorippa at different temperature was studied by means of laboratory culture. The germination percentage, germination index, germination potential of the seeds and the total leaf number, root length, lateral root number, biomass and root shoot ratio of seedlings were determined. Place and Duration of Study: Seeds were collected from the Shenyang Agricultural University of Liaoning Province in July 2018. Experiments were done in the College of Bioscience and Biotechnology, and conducted in April 2019 for a month. Methodology: The petri dish method was used at the experiment of seed germination. The seedling growth experiment was carried out by pot sowing. Results: At the seedling stage.R. amphibia has the strongest tolerance at 30°C, while the R. sylvestris does at 35°C. The low temperature is more beneficial to the accumulations of the seedlings, R. amphibia is the most tolerant at 25°C, and R. sylvestris is at 30°C at the seedling stage. Conclusion: The response of the seeds and seedlings of the two species to temperature was basically the same. Higher temperature promoted seed germination and inhibited seedling growth, while lower temperature inhibited seed germination. The response of seeds and seedlings of R. sylvestris to high temperature makes it more invasive in the process of global warming.

This challenging study was carried out to evaluate the temporal production of ochratoxin A (OTA) by Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404 and wild type A. niger AM at different temperatures in fresh squeezed orange juice (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck cv Tarocco). Each strain, inoculated into the filtered orange juice, was incubated at 4°C, 20°C, and 26°C for 28 days. In the juice, at 26°C and 20°C, the concentration of A. niger ATCC 16404 increased by more than 2 log10 up to the 21st day. At 4°C it remained constant. The microbial load of A. niger AM decreased at all temperatures. At 26°C, the maximum OTA accumulation found was 3.44 ng/mL on the 21st day for A. niger ATCC 16404 and 8. 44 ng/mL on the 7th day for A. niger AM. The OTA synthesis seemed to be an intrinsic strain-dependent mechanism. A. niger ATCC 16404 produced OTA in accordance with the higher temperatures and the biomass concentrations, whereas A. niger AM produced the toxin at all temperatures regardless of its biomass. These results showed that fresh orange juice contaminated with Aspergillus niger aggregate strains may contain OTA levels.

AbstractCurrently over then 16 percent of the total worldwide salt production is excavated in underground mines. Salt deposits often lie at great depths up to 1000 m, where the temperature of the surrounding rocks reaches 50°C and even exceeds it. A large part of it is exploited using mechanical methods, mainly with the use of road headers and continuous miners. When excavating salt rock, the cutters of the road header mining head come into contact with the rock. This generate friction and in consequence a rise in temperature. In AGH University of Science and Technology the laboratory tests were carried out to determine the effect of temperature on cutting resistance and selected mechanical properties of rock salt. On the special laboratory test stand the rock salt sample was cutted at three different temperatures - 20, 50 and 80°C. The cuttability index and the side chipping angle were measured for each temperature. Additionally the same tests were performed in the case of salt sample after cooling to room temperature. The selected mechanical parameters of rock salt - compressive, tensile and shear strength were also measured for the same temperature values. The obtained results were compared and described in the paper.

a kind of as-cast nickel-base single crystal superalloy was TLP bonded using Ni-Cr-B amorphous foil at different temperatures. Special attention is paid to the formation of boride in diffusion zone of TLP joints at different conditions. The chemical composition and microstructure of borides were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). At different bonding temperature, M3B2 precipitates appear distinct morphologies. At 1200°C, both blocky and plate-like borides formed owing to the diffusion of boron atoms into base metal and precipitation during the cooling process. At 1230°C or above, due to the diffusion of boron atoms the constitutional liquation of original γ/γ′ eutectics in the base metal occurs and borides formed when the system was cooled to room temperature. The analysis of TEM results reveals that M3B2 has a tetragonal structure and is rich in Mo, W, and Cr elements.

This paper presents results from an experimental study on the effect of temperature on bond strength of I-shaped steel and concrete. Eleven concrete encased steel (CES) specimens were tested by home-made fire test furnace to evaluate bond strength at various constant high temperatures (20°C600°C). The test results showed that: (1) the trend of the bond-slip curves at high temperatures were much similar to that at room temperature. Compared with room temperature specimen, the ultimate bond load and the residual bond load of specimens at high temperatures were significantly decreased. The specimens with the higher temperature had the less ultimate bond load and residual bond load. (2) In the descending stage, the P-S curve of the specimens with higher temperatures had more flat slope. The P-S curve of the specimens at the temperatures higher than 250°C had invisible descending stage. The ultimate bond load of the specimen at 600°C left with only about 5% of that at room temperature. (3) The ultimate slippages (i.e. the slippage at the ultimate bond load) of specimens at high temperatures were larger than that at room temperature, and varied from 2 to 5 mm. (4) The calculation formulas of ultimate bond load, ultimate slippage, and residual bond load at different temperatures were presented, the constitutive equations of bond-slip at different temperatures were obtained, which will provide a reference for the fire-resistant design of concrete encased steel columns.

A technique for in vitro germination of French bean pollen was developed and the effect of temperature on gamete development, pollen germination and seed set investigated. Temperature had a profound effect on in vitro pollen germination percentage, pollen tube growth and bursting percentage. These were maximal at 7.2�C, 16.7�C and 38.3�C, respectively. In this study, pollen development was not affected at day/night temperatures of 16.1�/12.8�C, and ovule abortion was the cause of seed set failure at these temperatures. Hot water treatment (48�-44�C) of flowers caused failure of seed set due to pollen inviability. Consequently this technique may allow hybridization without emasculation in beans. Treatment of buds with hot water of different temperatures and in vitro pollen germination at high temperatures may have application as screening techniques for heat tolerance in French beans.

Cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.) has an exceptional flavor and aroma, which makes it a fruit with great potential. However, little is known about its propagation by seeds. According to the scientific literature, the germination of cherimoya seeds is affected much more by external conditions than by internal conditions. Germination of cherimoya variety ‘Concha Lisa’ were tested for germination at constant temperatures of 25, 30, 40°C, and at room temperature, varying from 20-25°C, coupled with total darkness. Seeds were sown in Petri dishes (0.8% agar water), for 25 days of incubation. The kinetics of germination was determined according to five closely related parameters, viz. final germination percentage (FGP), mean germination time (MGT), coefficient of velocity of germination (CVG), time to 50% germination (T50) and seedling length (SL). The temperature of 30°C was found optimally suitable with 70.8% FGP, 17.5 days MGT and 3.91 cm SL, while the room temperature of 20-25°C slightly improved germination with only 25% FGP. Furthermore, significant decrease in FGP and SL was observed at 25°C and 40°C of temperature in comparison to 30°C. The analysis also revealed that cherimoya seed germination, day 10-15 after seed sowing is suitable for final counts. An overview on the emergence of cherimoya seedlings, during a 12-week period in pots is presented.
