ESR Spectrometry of High-Temperature Superconductors with Temperature-Modulation-Based Thermoregulation [PDF]
Instruments and Techniques, Vol.39, No.5, 1996, p.769, 1998 A light-beam-assisted temperature-control system operating within a temperature range from 77 to 180 K is developed for investigating the absorption of electromagnetic waves by high-temperature superconductors in the vicinity of superconducting transition with an ESR spectrometer.

Radiative Cooling and Thermoregulation of Vertical Facades with Micropatterned Directional Emitters [PDF]
arXivWe demonstrate a micropatterned directional emitter ({\mu}DE) with an ultrabroadband, azimuthally selective and tailorable emittance across the thermal wavelengths and over wide angles. The {\mu}DE can enable a novel and passive seasonal thermoregulation of buildings by reducing summertime terrestrial radiative heat gain, and wintertime loss.

The physiology and biomechanics of avian flight at high altitude [PDF]
, 2006 Many birds fly at high altitude, either during long-distance flights or by virtue of residence in high-elevation habitats. Among the many environmental features that vary systematically with altitude, five have significant consequences for avian flight ...

The Turing Pattern Transition with the Growing Domain and Metabolic Rate Effects [PDF]
arXivThis study examines how patterns on mammal body surfaces change as they transition from juveniles to adults and with seasonal variations. Our previous research suggests that patterns formed in infancy may fade due to the growing domain effects, typically linked to the body's surface expanding as it grows, but this transition is influenced by various ...

A Quantum Model of Exaptation: Incorporating Potentiality into Evolutionary Theory [PDF]
Progress in Biophysics & Molecular Biology, 113(1), 108-116, 2013 The phenomenon of preadaptation, or exaptation (wherein a trait that originally evolved to solve one problem is co-opted to solve a new problem) presents a formidable challenge to efforts to describe biological phenomena using a classical (Kolmogorovian) mathematical framework.

Detection Dogs Working in Hot Climates: The Influence on Thermoregulation and Fecal Consistency
AnimalsBody temperature is an important physiological parameter that influences the performance of working dogs. The main cooling mechanism in dogs is panting to support evaporative cooling, which reduces the dog’s ability to detect scents.

Thermal Microhabitat Preference of the Common Side-Blotched Lizard, Uta stansburiana [PDF]
, 2013 Ectotherms are especially susceptible to changing temperature conditions within their environment. To limit temperature fluctuations they must behaviorally regulate body temperature by moving between microhabitats of different ambient temperatures.

Climate control in termite mounds: A review and new insights from X-ray tomography and flow field simulations [PDF]
arXivInvestigating the thermoregulation and ventilation processes in termite mound holds great interest, in particular for its potential implications in advancing eco-friendly building designs. In this article we discuss major results on these processes in termite mounds of varying sizes and ventilation types.
