Temperature and Gravitational Potential

1994
It is argued that thermal equilibrium of spatially extended systems is characterized by the presence of a “global” temperature, but that there also exists a “local” temperature, which is sensitive to the value of the gravitational potential. It is further asserted that thermometers read out the local temperature.

Temperature and potential temperature beneath island arcs

Tectonophysics, 1970
Abstract Potential temperature within a convecting fluid is a useful concept if the distance which heat diffuses in the time taken for the material to overturn is appreciably smaller than the scale height. This condition is satisfied within the mantle, and therefore the equation governing the conservation of energy may be simplified by using ...

The temperature acclimation potential of tropical bryophytes

Plant Biology, 2013
AbstractBryophyte biomass and diversity in tropical moist forests decrease dramatically from higher altitudes towards the lowlands. High respiratory carbon losses at high temperatures may partly explain this pattern, if montane species are unable to acclimatise their metabolic rates to lowland temperatures.

Influence of Temperature on the Sound-evoked Vestibular Potential

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1985
The sound-evoked vestibular potential, measured with gross electrodes after fenestration of a lateral semicircular canal in pigeons, is delayed with respect to the acoustic stimulus. The influence of temperature of the vestibular system on this delay can most easily be explained by assuming chemically mediated transmission to take place between ...

Temperature Increasing Potential

1990
In order to develop environmental long-term goals with respect to climate change an index is needed to compare the temperature increasing effect of greenhouse gas emissions. Here the concept of Temperature Increasing Potential (TIP) is introduced as a greenhouse counterpart to the ozone depleting potential (ODP).

Gauge theories at finite temperature and chemical potential

Physical Review D, 1987
The relativistic partition function is studied respecting the internal symmetries. We consider generally the SU(N) gauge theories, and, in particular, the SU(3) symmetry relating to the quark-gluon plasma. The implications of the complex chemical potentials are analyzed and discussed in relation to the lattice gauge theories.

Temperature effects on valonia bioelectric potential

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1971
Abstract This investigation concerned detailed effects of temperature on bioelectric potential. Previous measurements of algal potentials were made at irregular, widely spaced, temperature intervals; this study recorded temperature continuously from 10 to 36°.

Nonequilibrium Temperature and Chemical Potential

2015
In this chapter, we propose a natural definition of nonequilibrium temperature and chemical potential. The main field, with which the generalized Gibbs equation is expressed in a differential form, is the key quantity in the definition. In the ET6 theory, in particular, the nonequilibrium quantities coincide exactly with those in the Meixner theory ...

Chemical potential and temperature of light

Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry, 1991
Abstract Light is treated as heat in traditional thermodynamics. Photons are assigned a temperature but zero chemical potential. In processes such as photovoltaic or photochemical absorption, electroluminescence and chemiluminescence, the number of photons is related to that of other energy quanta, e.g.
