Abstract Expendable bathythermographs (XBTs) have been widely deployed for ocean monitoring since the late 1960s. Improving quality of XBT data is a vital task in climatology. Many factors (e.g., temperature, probe type, and manufacturing time) identified as major influences systematic bias. In addition, recording system (RS) has long suspected another factor. However, this factor not taken int...

The P2 receptor-mediated responses of isolated guinea pig urinary bladder and vas deferens (P2X receptors) and taenia caeci (P2Y receptors) were registered at the three temperature conditions of 30, 37 and 42 degrees C. The contractile responses of both urinary bladder and vas deferens to a P2X receptor agonist alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-meATP; 0.01-30 microM) and to electrical field ...

Understanding the temperature dependency of triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) is important for optimizing biological applications of upconversion. Here the temperature dependency of red-to-blue TTA-UC is reported in a variety of neutral PEGylated phospholipid liposomes. In these systems a delicate balance between lateral diffusion rate of the dyes, annihilator aggregation, and ...

The dielectric properties of a methanol-water mixture were measured at different temperatures from 20 to 80 °C at two frequencies 915 MHz and 2450 MHz. These frequencies are most commonly used on industrial and domestic scales respectively. In this study, the dielectric properties of a methanol-water mixture were found to be dependent on temperature, solvent concentration, and presence of plant...

Interpersonal dependency is typically viewed as a risk factor for prolonged grief among conjugally bereaved adults. However, emerging empirical evidence and theoretical advances suggest that one manifestation of interpersonal dependency--adaptive dependency--may serve as a protective factor in coping with loss. This study compared adaptive and maladaptive dependency across three matched groups:...

This paper analyzes various aspects of energy dependency and identifies the hidden factors behind national security. Based on a review scientific literature, that reduce security in consumption natural gas, oil, nuclear generation were identified. One such factor is import resources. Import crucial characteristic can exacerbate effects external aggression, non-competitive behavior, pressure. Gi...

The p53 protein is a sequence-specific transcription factor controlling the expression of multiple genes and protecting cells from oncogenic transformation. In many tumors, the p53 protein is completely or partially inactivated by mutations in the p53 gene. We analyzed the transactivating activity of nine human temperature-dependent (td) p53 mutan...

This research presents temperature distribution and thermal strain of functionally graded material cylinders with varying thickness and temperature-dependency properties that are subjected to heat fluxes in their inner and outer layers. The heterogeneous distribution of properties is modeled as a power function. Using first-order temperature theory and the energy method, governing equations are...
