Coiled filament resistance thermometers

Stability of Small Industrial Platinum Resistance Thermometers

This paper reports the results of an investigation of the stability of a selection of small industrial platinum resistance thermometers (IPRTs) upon heat treatment and handling. Ninety-four IPRTs, of several models, obtained from five manufacturers were studied. Most of the IPRTs exhibited calibration drifts and also effects due to the presence of moisture or strain. There was no apparent impro...

Coiled-coil intermediate filament stutter instability and molecular unfolding.

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are the key components of cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells and are critical for cell mechanics. The building block of IFs is a coiled-coil alpha-helical dimer, consisting of several domains that include linkers and other structural discontinuities. One of the discontinuities in the dimer's coiled-coil region is the so-called 'stutter' region. The stutter is a region...

Nuclear Thermometers

In intermediate energy nuclear collisions (E/A~50MeV), the nuclei collide and compress, forming what is called a compound nucleus. As the compound nucleus cools and expands, it breaks apart into multiple nuclei in a process called multi-fragmentation. These fragments then begin to cool by emitting small nuclei. The final products of decay are then observed in detectors. The populations of nucle...
