Temperature Sensitivity in Indigenous Australians

Epidemiology, 2013
"To the Editor: Indigenous people face challenges that may make them more sensitive to extreme temperatures. These include poor health, inadequate infrastructure, and poverty.1 Few studies have examined the effects of extreme temperatures on Indigenous people2 or have considered the possible role of body mass in sensitivity to extreme temperatures..."

Temperature-Sensitive Dendritic Micelles

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2005
Syntheses up to three generations have been achieved of biaryl-based amphiphilic dendrons with a charge-neutral pentaethylene glycol as the hydrophilic part and a decyl chain as the hydrophobic part. Studies on the temperature-dependent characteristics revealed that these dendrons exhibit a generation-dependent lower critical solution temperature (LCST)

Sensitive temperature gradiometer for use at low temperatures

Review of Scientific Instruments, 1978
A device capable of very sensitive temperature gradient measurements in the presence of relatively large ambient temperature fluctuations is described. The device uses a pair of ’’matched’’ superconducting thin films in a bridge arrangement, with a SQUID magnetometer probe as the null detector.

Temperature sensitive auditory neuropathy

Hearing Research, 2016
Temperature sensitive auditory neuropathy is a very rare and puzzling disorder. In the present study, we reported three unrelated 2 to 6 year-old children who were diagnosed as auditory neuropathy patients who complained of severe hearing loss when they had fever. Their hearing thresholds varied from the morning to the afternoon. Two of these patients'

Temperature-Sensitive Hydrogels [PDF]

American Journal of Drug Delivery, 2005
Thermo-sensitive polymers are appealing materials for several therapeutic applications, such as in regenerative medicine and in situ drug release. These macromolecules are characterized by the ability to undergo swelling/deswelling processes during temperature change-induced phase transitions.

Pseudofacilitation: A temperature-sensitive phenomenon

Muscle & Nerve, 2000
With sustained isometric exercise, compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude of normal subjects may increase, a phenomenon known as pseudofacilitation. To explore the mechanism of pseudofacilitation, the effect of exercise combined with focal heating and cooling of abductor pollicis brevis was examined in 10 normal subjects.

Effect of temperature on sensitivity of the finger

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1963
Subjects reported the detection of impacts from objects falling upon the ball of the finger. At a given point on the skin a falling weight of 1 mg might be detected after falling 10 mm, and twice the weight would then be detected after falling 5 mm. Droplets of mercury expelled by a Scholander micrometer burette afforded one series of measurements. On

Temperature Sensitivity of Myosin and Actomyosin

Canadian Journal of Biochemistry, 1973
The thermal denaturation of myosin and actomyosin was studied by active site analysis (enzymatic activity) and measurements were related to overall conformational changes (viscosity) over the temperature range 19–65 °C. The role of sulfhydryl (SH) groups on the temperature-induced denaturation of actomyosin was investigated. The temperature of maximum

A temperature-sensitive respiratory alarm

Clinical Physics and Physiological Measurement, 1983
Describes a novel alarm which is designed to monitor respiration in a patient undergoing intermittent positive pressure ventilation. The alarm operates by sensing the temperature differences between the inspired and expired gas using a thermistor mounted close to the point in the breathing circuit where the patient connection is made. It offers several

Generation of a Temperature-Sensitive cSRC

Virology, 1993
We have created retroviruses encoding a temperature-sensitive variant of the cSrc protein, and of its activated allele cSrc(Y527F). Cells expressing the activated allele harboring this mutation displayed a transformed phenotype when grown at 34 degrees, but not at 39 degrees, as quantitated by measuring the susceptibility of the cells to contact ...
