We identify the temperature being measured by a thermometer in a nonequilibrium scenario by studying heat conduction in a three-dimensional Lennard-Jones (LJ) system whose two ends are kept at different temperatures. It is accomplished by modeling the thermometer particles also with the LJ potential but with added tethers to prevent their rigid body motion. These models of the system and the th...

While the introduction of yet another cryogenic diode thermometer is not earth shattering, a new diode thermometer, the DT-600 series, recently introduced by Lake Shore Cryotronics, possesses three features that make it unique among commercial diode thermometers. First, these diodes have been probed at the chip level, allowing for the availability of a bare chip thermometer matching a standard ...

Abstract OBJECTIVE The COVID-19 pandemic may reinforce psychosocial distress of neuro-oncological patients. We aimed to 1) differentiate the burden caused by vs. tumor and 2) establish topics relevant for brain patients (BTPs) caregivers. METHODS Patients caregivers were prospectively assessed from April 2020 – July a 10-item comprising interview over phone, including qualitative quantitative q...

−47− Synthesiology English edition Vol.1 No.1 (2008) In the 1990s, a U.S. company developed a new infrared clinical thermometer in which measurement was taken by inserting the sensor probe into the ear canal (hereinafter will be called “ear thermometer”), and was marketed in the United States and Europe. Figure 1 shows the external appearance of ear thermometers and the schematic diagram of the...

The hydrostatic pressure correction coefficient of the traditional triple point cell of water is determined from the measurements of temperature distribution along the thermometer well. The hydrostatic pressure coefficient obtained from these measurements is −0.855(30) mK/m, which is slightly different from the recommended value, −0.73 mK/m, of the International Temperature Scale of 1990. The l...
