The Temperature Coefficient of Gravity

The Temperature Coefficient of Phagocytosis

1. The experiments of Madsen and Watabiki on the effect of temperature on the phagocytosis of bacteria are discussed and a new analysis of their curves is given, showing that the rate of phagocytosis is very nearly a logarithmic function of the temperature from 0 degrees to 35 degrees C.; i.e., Q(10) is constant over that range and is equal to 2.0. 2. New experiments are reported on the effect ...

The Temperature Coefficient of Phagocytosis

number of bacteria ingested at the close of the experlment(instead of the maximum number of bacteria present, which, one is led to infer, was larger than A even at the higher temperatures) and x equal, as usual, to the number of bacteria ingested in time, T. Considering their method of analysis it is not surprising that they found it impossible to calculate the temperature coefficient of phago•...

The shear diffusion coefficient for generalized theories of gravity

Near the horizon of a black brane in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space and near the AdS boundary, the long-wavelength fluctuations of the metric exhibit hydrodynamic behaviour. The gauge-gravity duality then relates the boundary hydrodynamics for generalized gravity to that of gauge theories with large finite values of ’t Hooft coupling. We discuss, for this framework, the hydrodynamics of the shear m...

On The Finite Temperature Chern-Simons Coefficient

We compute the exact finite temperature effective action in a 0+1dimensional field theory containing a topological Chern-Simons term, which has many features in common with 2+1-dimensional Chern-Simons theories. This exact result explains the origin and meaning of puzzling temperature dependent coefficients found in various naive perturbative computations in the higher dimensional models. There...
