Controversies on the caloric response:From Bárány's Theory to Studies in Microgravity

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990
Two objections against Robert Bárány's scientific contributions are reviewed. Firstly the Medical Faculty in Vienna raised the question as to whether Bárány really could be credited with the initial discovery of the caloric reaction in man and whether therefore it was justified to have awarded him the Nobel Prize in 1914.

Contribution by Lazare and Sadi Carnot to the caloric theory of heat and its inspirative role in thermodynamics

Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2009
Abstract  The works of Lazare and Sadi Carnots are reviewed emphasizing their contribution to the caloric theory of heat, which is consequently analyzed in terms of an alternative thermodynamic approach. In the framework of the caloric theory the elementary derivation of the efficiency of real heat engines, ηK=1−tr(T 2/T 1), is given which is a direct ...

Heat Engines and the Caloric Theory of Heat

1996
This chapter will present an alternative route to the thermodynamics of simple fluids at a slightly higher mathematical level, allowing for a generalization of the subject of thermodynamics of uniform fluids. The most important difference to the previous development has to do with what we assume to know about the nature of heat.

CAN EXPERIMENTS ON CALORIC RESTRICTION BE RECONCILED WITH THE DISPOSABLE SOMA THEORY FOR THE EVOLUTION OF SENESCENCE?

Evolution, 2001
A publication by Shanley and Kirkwood (2000) attempts to explain data on caloric restriction (CR) and life extension in the context of the Disposable Soma (DS) theory for the evolution of senescence. As the authors concede, this juxtaposition appears at first to offend intuition: According to the DS theory, senescence is the result of a tight budget ...

Calorimetry and the Caloric Theory of Heat, the Measurement of Heat

2019
Joseph Black distinguished between the quantity of heat in a body and its intensity, or temperature, which was introduced in Chap. 1. This chapter introduces calorimetry, the measurement of the quantity of heat, and the contemporary theory of heat, the caloric theory of heat.

A generalized presentation of multi-caloric effects based on exterior derivative theory and its applications ^*

Communications in Theoretical Physics
Abstract The emerging concept of multi-caloric effects, introduced in 2010, entails the application of multiple interplay fields to a thermodynamic system. While multi-caloric effects are the main focus of experimental endeavors, theoretical considerations fall short of providing a thorough understanding.

[2 reactions in caloric stimulation of the labyrinth. Is Bárány's theory disproven?].

Laryngologie, Rhinologie, Otologie, 1985
Caloric nystagmus in weightless condition is completely inverse to Bárány's nystagmus in optimum downward position. Therefore, another stimulation must prevail over the Bárány effect in the optimum up position which is observed only in weightless condition. The intensity of the two reactions is very different.
