Altering temperature in a mammalian body [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The present application relates to systems and methods for altering temperature in a mammalian body. Optionally, the systems and methods can be used to lower or raise core body temperature of a mammalian subject.

Assessment of brain mechanisms involved in the processes of thermal sensation, pleasantness/unpleasantness, and evaluation

open access: yesIBRO Reports, 2019
The conscious perception of thermal stimuli is divided into two categories: thermal sensation (i.e., discriminative component) and pleasantness/unpleasantness (i.e., hedonic component).

Studying the Accuracy and Function of Different Thermometry Techniques for Measuring Body Temperature

open access: yesBiology, 2021
The purpose of this study was to determine which thermometry technique is the most accurate for regular measurement of body temperature. We compared seven different commercially available thermometers with a gold standard medical-grade thermometer (Welch-

Estrogenic modulation of female thermoregulatory behavior in a cold environment

open access: yesJournal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2016
Thermoregulation is categorized as either autonomic (i.e., sweating, shivering) or behavioral (i.e., wearing clothes, usage of air conditioner) thermoregulation. Compared to autonomic thermoregulation, the neural pathway of behavioral thermoregulation in

How do ectotherms perform in cold environments? Physiological and life-history traits in an Andean viviparous lizard

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Both the mean and the variation in environmental temperature are increasing globally. Indeed, the predicted increases in temperature range from 2 to 4°C in the next 50 years.

Research and Development of a COVID-19 Tracking System in Order to Implement Analytical Tools to Reduce the Infection Risk

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The whole world is currently focused on COVID-19, which causes considerable economic and social damage. The disease is spreading rapidly through the population, and the effort to stop the spread is entirely still failing.

Challenges of measuring body temperatures of free-ranging birds and mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter in physiological, behavioural and ecological research.

Three-body problem at finite temperature and density [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We derive practical three-body equations for the equal-time three-body Green function in matter. Our equations describe both bosons and fermions at finite density and temperature, and take into account all possible two-body sub-processes allowed by the ...

Testing mechanisms of Bergmann’s rule: Phenotypic decline but no genetic change in body size in three posserine bird populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bergmann’s rule predicts a decrease in body size with increasing temperature and has much empirical support. Surprisingly, we know very little about whether “Bergmann size clines” are due to a genetic response or are a consequence of phenotypic ...

Cold-Blooded Attention: Finger Temperature Predicts Attentional Performance

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Thermal stress has been shown to increase the chances of unsafe behavior during industrial and driving performances due to reductions in mental and attentional resources.
