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 Mutant Vaccines

2003
Many live virus vaccines derived by empirical routes exhibit temperature-sensitive (ts) phenotypes. The live virus vaccines that have been outstandingly successful in controlling poliomyelitis are the prime example of this phenomenon. The three live attenuated strains developed by Sabin were derived from wild-type isolates by rapid sequential passage ...

A temperature-sensitive cardiac pacemaker

Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1983
An artificial cardiac pacemaker which is sensitive to the temperature of blood in the right atrium has been fabricated. For a temperature change of 20 degrees C the circuit achieves 90% of its final response within a period of 18 s. In the authors' opinion this is satisfactory since changes in blood temperature are generally small.

Temperature-Sensitive Fabrics

AATCC Review, 2018
What if your shirt could keep you warm when it is cold outside, and cool you down as soon as you enter a heated building? What if your trousers could look like a regular pair on an average day, but automatically transform into puffy outdoor gear when you go to a colder climate? What if all you had to do to cool down during hot summer days was turn your

Cutaneous Temperature Sensitivity

1984
In the spring of 1947 I entered the last semester of my Bachelor of Science degree course at Washington University, St. Louis. At that time I had an established major in zoology and had even applied to several graduate programs to study entomology.

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

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.

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.

Analyzing and Correcting Spectrometer Temperature Sensitivity

Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 2001
Stability and reproducibility of the spectrometer are fundamental to the success of many modern NMR experiments. Variation in room temperature is a particularly important source of instability, in part because it can cause coherent artifacts in NMR spectra.

Sensitivity of non-contact Temperature Measurement Using Temperature Sensitive Ferrite

Journal of the Korean Magnetics Society, 2004
To construct the non-contact temperature detection systems, LC resonance type sensors composed of temperature sensitive ferrite inductors and capacitors were used, and their wireless temperature detection performances were investigated. The temperature was wirelessly detectable using the fabricated LC resonance sensors with a transmitter and receiver ...
