This study examined the effects of cocaine HCl and ambient temperature on the core body temperature of the rat. To further examine the mechanisms of cocaine-induced changes in temperature regulation, the effects of cocaine on behavioral thermoregulatory responses were also observed. At normal room temperature (20 degrees C) cocaine produced a reduction in core body temperature. At a higher ambi...

In this article, a time dependent partial differential equation is used to model the nonlinear boundary value problem describing heat transfer through a radial porous moving fin with rectangular profile. The study is performed by applying a numerical solver in MATLAB (pdepe), which is a centered finite difference scheme. The thermal conductivity and fin surface emissivity are linearly ...

Litchi is a non-climacteric fruit (Wills et al. 2004) and it deteriorates very fast after harvest. Various technologies have been devised to minimize the post-harvest losses of litchi, one of such technologies is the use of PP bag & low temperature. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effects of thiLitchi is a non-climacteric fruit and it deteriorates very fast after harvest. Vario...
