Emperor penguin body surfaces cool below air temperature.
Emperor penguins Aptenodytes forsteri are able to survive the harsh Antarctic climate because of specialized anatomical, physiological and behavioural adaptations for minimizing heat loss. Heat transfer theory predicts that metabolic heat loss in this species will mostly depend on radiative and convective cooling. To examine this, thermal imaging of emperor penguins was undertaken at the breedi...
متن کاملMeasuring Rainfall from above and below the Sea Surface
Satellites play a major role in the determination of the rainfall at sea. Researchers at Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) have been involved in two projects addressing this task. First they have been instrumental in developing techniques to retrieve rain rate information from the 10+ years of dual-frequency altimeter data. The TOPEX radar measures rainfall via the attenuation it causes, pr...
متن کاملMetabolic activity of permafrost bacteria below the freezing point.
Metabolic activity was measured in the laboratory at temperatures between 5 and -20 degrees C on the basis of incorporation of (14)C-labeled acetate into lipids by samples of a natural population of bacteria from Siberian permafrost (permanently frozen soil). Incorporation followed a sigmoidal pattern similar to growth curves. At all temperatures, the log phase was followed, within 200 to 350 d...
متن کاملDynamic measurements on polymer chain dimensions below the -temperature
2014 To observe the contraction of a flexible chain, quasi-elastic light scattering and viscosity experiments were performed below the 03B8-temperature. The systems used were monodisperse polystyrene (Mw = 1.71 x 105, Mw =4.11 105, Mw = 1.26 106) dissolved in cyclohexane. It is observed that : 2014 Hydrodynamic and viscosity expansion factors, 03B1H and 03B13~, scale with the reduced variable (...
متن کاملFree energy landscapes of electron transfer system in dipolar environment below and above the rotational freezing temperature.
Electron transfer reaction in a polar solvent is modeled by a solute dipole surrounded by dipolar molecules with simple rotational dynamics posted on the three-dimensional distorted lattice sites. The interaction energy between the solute and solvent dipoles as a reaction coordinate is adopted and free energy landscapes are calculated by generating all possible states for a 26 dipolar system an...
