Self-stimulation, salicylate and ambient temperature

Physiology & Behavior, 1981
Abstract Effects of sodium salicylate and of cold or warm environment on intracranial self-stimulation and on colonic temperature of rats were assessed. Colonic temperature at the end of intracranial self-stimulation sessions was significantly lower after salicylate than after saline in 33 out of 36 animals. Self-stimulation rate was either decreased

Ambient temperature signalling in plants

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2013
Plants are exposed to daily and seasonal fluctuations in temperature. Within the 'ambient' temperature range (about 12-27°C for Arabidopsis) temperature differences have large effects on plant growth and development, disease resistance pathways and the circadian clock without activating temperature stress pathways.

Thyroid Activity at Higher Ambient Temperatures

Nature, 1961
THYROID activity is increased in animals exposed to cold with release of thyroid hormone1 and both the output from, and the uptake of, iodine-131 by the thyroid is augmented2,3, but the blood-level of protein-bound iodine4 and the epinephrine-potentiating effect of thyroxine5 are decreased.

Non-Ambient Temperature Microscopy

1977
One of the authors has been quoted as saying that any industrial process can be duplicated under the microscope. To achieve this requires, among other things, wide ranges of controlled temperature, both below and above room temperature in the specimen area.

Dexterity Performance and Reduced Ambient Temperature

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1984
This study examined the dexterity performance of 35 male and 35 female subjects at ambient temperatures of 1.7°C, 12.8°C, and 23.9°C. Subjects wore typical industrial worker apparel without gloves. The Purdue Pegboard, two pencil-point tapping tasks, an assembly task, and a fine manipulative task were used to measure the dexterity performance. Results

Ambient Temperature Lithium Systems

1994
The majority of nonaqueous battery systems contain metallic lithium as the anode material. All lithium batteries are high-energy systems and under certain conditions may present a safety hazard. These batteries may be classified as either liquid cathode, solid cathode, or solid state.

Ambient Temperature and Respiratory Virus Infection

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2014
Respiratory viruses are important pediatric pathogens with pronounced seasonal patterns of circulation. Various hypotheses have been put forth to explain the seasonality of these infections, many involving environmental factors. This review summarizes the effect of temperature on the epidemicity of respiratory viruses, with an emphasis on ...

CLOTHING, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND COMFORT – II

Journal of Consumer Studies & Home Economics, 1981
Application of quantification theory shows that, at a given ambient temperature, students in Japan wear more clothing than students in England, whether these are British or from overseas. A direct relationship has been found to exist between skin fold thickness and the amount of clothing worn at a given temperature.

Liquid scintillation counting at ambient temperature

Analytical Biochemistry, 1966
Abstract Ambient-temperature liquid scintillation counting of aqueous samples of up to 2 ml volume realized effciencies of over 80% for 14 C and 20% for 3 H in a dioxane-naphthalene scintillator. The use of external standardization for rapid determination of counting efficiency is presented together with some characteristics of a newly available ...

Estimation of Ground Temperature Using Ambient Temperature

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
The purpose of this study is to use deep floor heating to heat the fluid in the installed pipes, which is used to heat water used in homes, factories, workshops, etc. Especially in the city of Tehran and metropolises that have underground trains and some of its lines pass from a depth of 40 meters.
