Warren, Gordon L., Christopher P. Ingalls, and R. B. Armstrong. Temperature dependency of force loss and Ca2 homeostasis in mouse EDL muscle after eccentric contractions. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 282: R1122–R1132, 2002. First published December 21, 2001; 10.1152/ajpregu.00671.2001.—The goals of this study were first to determine the effect of temperature on the force los...

Laser forming has not been widely used due to limited understanding of its mechanism and immaturity of processing technology. In the study of single axis laser bending of plates, edge effects affect accuracy of the bending. Experimental and numerical studies are carried out to study the mechanism of the edge effects. Temperature dependency of material properties and strain-rate dependency of yi...

Many proteins require the assistance of molecular chaperones in order to fold efficiently. Chaperones are known to mask the effects of mutations that induce misfolding because they can compensate for the deficiency in spontaneous folding. One of the best studied chaperones is the eubacterial GroEL/GroES system. In Escherichia coli, three classes of proteins have been distinguished based on thei...

A pre-registered experiment was conducted to examine psychophysiological responses to being lied to. Bridging research on social cognition and deception detection, we hypothesized that observing a liar compared to a truth-teller would decrease finger skin temperature of observers. Participants first watched two targets while not forewarned that they would later be asked to judge (direct and ind...

This paper presents a remote and preparation-free method of temperature imaging of aqueous solutions in microchannels of microfluidic chips. The principle of this method is based on the temperature dependency of the near-infrared (NIR) absorption band (ν(2) + ν(3) band) of water. Temperature images were constructed from absorbances in a narrow wavelength range including 1908 nm, the most sensit...

Though cryogenic storage is presumed to provide nearly infinite longevity to cells, the actual shelf life achieved under ultra-cold temperatures has not been addressed theoretically or empirically. Here, we report measurable changes in germination of dried seeds stored under liquid nitrogen conditions for >10 years. There was considerable variability in the extent of deterioration among species...

Heat pumps with rotary compressors operating in low temperature ambient will face heavy performance degradation. A novel vapor injection structure on the blade for the rotary compressor has been proposed in this paper to overcome the back-flowing drawback of the traditional cylinder injection structure and enlarge the injection area. Based on a verified numerical model, the performance of a rot...
