Phenomenological approach to the caloric theory of heat
Thermochimica Acta, 2008Abstract 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 ...

Lavoisier and the Caloric Theory
The British Journal for the History of Science, 1972Professional historians of science generally recognize the importance of Lavoisier's theory of heat. However, it commonly receives scant attention in the historical treatment of his chemical theories except perhaps as an example illustrating his conservatism and giving the impression that the caloric theory, although perhaps important in the ...

The Caloric Theory of S. L. Metcalfe
The British Journal for the History of Science, 1984Samuel Lytler Metcalfe (1798–1856) was an American chemist and physician who wrote a voluminous work, Caloric Its Mechanical Chemical and Vital Agencies in the Phenomena of Nature (2 vols., London, 1843); attempting to account for all natural phenomena in terms of caloric.

An Atomic Theory of the Magneto-Caloric Effect
Nature, 1936As a result of an investigation on the change of temperature with magnetisation, Mr. T. Okamura has succeeded in separating the reversible and irreversible thermal effects. He has shown that the irreversible temperature variation agrees satisfactorily with the Honda-Okubo theory of ferromagnetism1.

Caloric theory: beginning of its end
2020Abstract The early 1800s provided new evidence challenging the caloric theory when Rumford bored a cannon and boiled water, Davy melted ice by using friction, and Young made the connection between light and radiant heat. Mayer and Joule then succeeded in killing caloric by simply ignoring it and instead embracing work–heat equivalence.

Theory of giant-caloric effects in multiferroic materials
Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2013A generalized thermodynamic theory of giant-caloric effects in coupled multiferroic solids is introduced. The generalized theory allows analytical derivation of any caloric effect in solids displaying any type of cross coupling. In the particular cases of the non-coupled ferroic materials, the theory reproduces the well-known formulae describing ...

Toward a unified theory of caloric restriction and longevity regulation
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2005The 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 ...

Chaos Theory Applied to the Caloric Response of the Vestibular System
Computers and Biomedical Research, 1993Developments in the field of nonlinear dynamics has given us a new conceptual framework for understanding the mechanisms involved in the regulation of complex nonlinear systems. This concept, called "chaos" or "deterministic chaos," has been applied to EKG, EEG, and other physiological signals, but not yet to the ENG signal.

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 ...
