Behavioral Thermoregulation Model for Evaluation of Outdoor Thermal Environment

open access: yes, 2014
In the outdoor environment, the effect of the physical environmental factors that compose the sensational and physiological temperature is remarkably large in comparison to the indoor environment.

Radiative Cooling and Thermoregulation of Vertical Facades with Micropatterned Directional Emitters [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
We 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.

ESR Spectrometry of High-Temperature Superconductors with Temperature-Modulation-Based Thermoregulation [PDF]

open access: yesInstruments 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.

The physiology and biomechanics of avian flight at high altitude [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Energetic cost of behavioral thermoregulation in turtle embryos

open access: yes, 2014
The cost of behavioral thermoregulation is well recognized in the posthatching stage of ectothermic vertebrates. However, thermoregulatory behavior was discovered only recently in turtle embryos, and the cost of this interesting behavior remains unknown.

Individual behavioral rules sustain the cell allocation pattern in the combs of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera)

open access: yes, 2013
In the beeswax combs of honey bees, the cells of brood, pollen, and honey have a consistent spatial pattern that is sustained throughout the life of a colony.

The Turing Pattern Transition with the Growing Domain and Metabolic Rate Effects [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This 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 ...

Climate control in termite mounds: A review and new insights from X-ray tomography and flow field simulations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Investigating 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.

The maggot, the ethologist and the forensic entomologist: Sociality and thermoregulation in necrophagous larvae

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research, 2019
Necrophagous insects are mostly known through forensic entomology. Indeed, experimental data investigating the effect of temperature on larval development underlies post-mortem interval estimations.
