Nasal skin temperature change at various visual tasks

Skin temperature response of normal human subjects to various conditions.

Ten healthy volunteers (five males and five females), 25 to 41 years of age, were exposed to several different environmental conditions in a constant temperature room. It was found that at 20 C. and about 55 per cent humidity, about five hours after the last meal, the behavior of the temperature of the toe in contrast to that of the finger was consistent, reliable and reproducible. These condit...

A New Correlation for Prediction of Wax Disappearance Temperature of Hydrocarbon Mixtures at Various Pressures

  Wax precipitate is one of the most serious issues the oil industry is currently facing, since it can cause some troubles such as increasing of the pressure losses in pipe which subsequently increases the required power for pumpage. To remove this problem, prediction of wax disappearance temperature (WDT) seems necessary. In this study, the pressure influence on the wax disappearance temperatu...

Piglets’ Surface Temperature Change at Different Weights at Birth

The study was carried out in order to verify the effects of piglets' weight at birth on their surface temperature change (ST) after birth, and its relationship with ingestion time of colostrum. Piglets from four different sows were weighed at birth and divided into a totally randomized design with three treatments according to birth weight (PBW): T1 - less than 1.00 kg, T2 - 1.00 to 1.39 kg, an...

Sharing Features Between Visual Tasks at Different Levels of Granularity

We explore how learning visual features shareable between tasks of different levels of granularity may enhance recognition accuracy. Our idea is that by accounting for the multiple semantic labels applicable to objects during feature learning (i.e., basic-level, fine-grained, or attributes), one may recover more robust representations. In particular, by simultaneously learning features well-sui...
