Biogeographic variation in temperature sensitivity of decomposition in forest soils

Global Change Biology, 2019
Determining soil carbon (C) responses to rising temperature is critical for projections of the feedbacks between terrestrial ecosystems, C cycle, and climate change.

Temperature-sensitive aqueous microgels

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2000
An account of the preparation and characterization of temperature-sensitive aqueous microgels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) was first published in 1986. Since then there has been a steady increase in the number of publications describing preparation, characterization and applications of temperature-sensitive microgels.

High-performance Pr3+-doped scandate optical thermometry: 200 K of sensing range with relative temperature sensitivity above 2 %·K-1.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2019
Nowadays, for lanthanide fluorescence thermometry, high relative temperature sensitivity (Sr) and wide sensing range are urgently required in practical applications. Herein, a Pr3+-doped scandate (Pr3+:CaSc2O4) luminescent thermometer is proposed and the

Investigation on the temperature sensitivity of the S-CO2 Brayton cycle efficiency

Energy, 2019
With the development of compact heat exchangers in the past few decades, S-CO2 recompression Brayton cycle has attracted much attention. However, the cycle efficiency of the traditional S-CO2 recompression Brayton cycle is sensitive to the compressor ...

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

Temperature sensitivity modulation through crystal field engineering in Ga3+ co-doped Gd3Al5-xGaxO12:Cr3+, Nd3+ nanothermometers

Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2018
Luminescent nanothermometry (LNT) based on temperature-dependent emission intensity of transition metals (TM) is a promising new direction to enhance the performance and implement LNT in many fields of science and technology.

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.
