Abstract The runway and landing gear speed difference causes non-negligible friction at touchdown, generating vital heat to raise the tyre tread temperature. resulting material decomposition reduces thickness significantly impacts flight safety environment. Airline operators also need pay cost of frequent replacement. pre-rotation strategy has been proposed prevent high-speed touchdown. Therefo...

Pyrexia is defined by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence as an elevation of body temperature above the normal daily variation. A sudden rise in temperature usually indicates infection, although there are many other noninfectious causes. This article outlines the causes of pyrexia and discusses management options.

As a basis for an understanding of the buoyancy function ofthe spermaceti organ of the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus L.) this paper deals with the following three physical properties of spermaceti oil: (i) the relationship between its density, temperature and pressure; (ii) heat exchange during freezing and melting; and (iii) the elevation of its temperature during increase in pressure. 19

Fever defined Although fever has often been defined as any elevation in body temperature, this definition would result in considerable confusion between true fever and hyperthermia. In fever, as a result of the elevated thermoregulatory ‘set-point’, a person’s heat production increases, while at the same time heat loss decreases. Snell & Atkins (1968) defined four categories of body temperature...

Methods We digitized lizard distribution data to generate gridded maps of species richness and b-diversity. Using similar maps for amphibians, mammals and birds, we explored the relationship between species richness and temperature, actual evapotranspiration, elevation and local elevation range. We used spatial eigenvector filtering and geographically weighted regression to explore geographical...
