Toward a unified theory of caloric restriction and longevity regulation
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2005 The diet known as calorie restriction (CR) is the most reproducible way to extend the lifespan of mammals. Many of the early hypotheses to explain this effect were based on it being a passive alteration in metabolism. Yet, recent data from yeast, worms, flies, and mammals support the idea that CR is not simply a passive effect but an active, highly ...

Phenomenological approach to the caloric theory of heat
Thermochimica Acta, 2008 Abstract This contribution presents an alternative approach to thermal physics and to its affiliated thermodynamics aiming to initiate a discussion concerning the related problems of its fundamental nature. We reason that the classical thermodynamics suffers considerably from a misinterpretation of experimental facts known as the Principle of ...

The British Journal for the History of Science, 1970 Research on thermal “black-body” radiation played an essential role in the origin of the quantum theory at the beginning of the twentieth century. This is a well-known fact, but historians of science up to now have not generally recognized that studies of radiant heat were also important in an earlier episode in the development of modern physics: the ...
