Heat Exhaustion [PDF]

open access: yesMechanical Engineering, 2002
This article focuses on fluidized catalytic cracking, which is a slide valve that controls the catalyst flow in hydrocarbon refining process. The valves are typically installed in refractory lined piping approximately 5 feet in diameter. Operating temperatures inside the valve range from 900°F to 1,400°F and, occasionally, go as high as 1800°F ...

Performance Changes Following Heat Acclimation and the Factors That Influence These Changes: Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
Heat acclimation (HA) is the process of intentional and consistent exercise in the heat that results in positive physiological adaptations, which can improve exercise performance both in the heat and thermoneutral conditions.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.
