The effects of ambient temperature (13.50C, 21°C, 30°C) and type of wound on healing of skin wounds were evaluated in common garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis). Linear unsutured incisions and circular excisional wounds were evaluated grossly and microscopically in three snakes held at each temperature at each of two, fi've and ten days after surgery. Linear sutured and unsutured incisions and ...

A consideration of the data presented in an earlier paper (GRAUBARD 1932) brings out certain facts with regard to the mechanism of crossing over in chromosome I1 of Drosophila melanogaster which may have general significance. In the previous work experiments were performed to study crossing over and interference along the entire length of the normal chromosome I1 and of the same chromosome with...

The temperature dependence of the Casimir force between a real metallic plate and a metallic sphere is analyzed on the basis of optical data concerning the dispersion relation of metals such as gold and copper. Realistic permittivities imply, together with basic thermodynamic considerations, that the transverse electric zero mode does not contribute. This results in observable differences from ...

A model describing the temperature effect of liquid crystal ~LC! refractive indices is derived and confirmed by experiment. Two single LC compounds ~5CB, 5PCH! and two mixtures ~MLC-6241-000 and UCF-35! with different birefringence values were used to validate the model. This model fits all the experimental data well. For a low-birefringence LC mixture, if the operating temperature is far below...

Temperature gradient focusing (TGF) is a new and promising equilibrium gradient focusing method which can provide high concentration factors for improved detection limits in combination with high-resolution separation. In this technique, temperature-dependent buffer chemistry is employed to generate a gradient in the analyte electrophoretic velocity. By the application of a convective counter-f...

We propose a method of achieving large temperature T sensitivity in the Casimir force that involves measuring the stable separation between dielectric objects immersed in a fluid. We study the Casimir force between slabs and spheres using realistic material models, and find large >2  nm/K variations in their stable separations (hundreds of nanometers) near room temperature. In addition, we anal...

in this research work with the aid of tagouchi experimental design and rawing of interaction curves with minitab software, the best rotor speed and dump temperature of mixing for physico-mechanical and rheological properties of the rubber compound with three mixing steps was obtained. moreover by plotting the mean curves in excel worksheet, the dependency of properties on rotor speed, dump temp...

Plasma renin activity was measured in parallel in Na2EDTA-contained plasma samples after storage at -20, 4, and 24 degrees C, and in the lyophilized state. In peripheral venous plasma from 22 hypertensive patients, the activity (range, 0.08-46.7 microgram/liter per hour) remained stable during three days of storage at 4 degrees C, but decreased to a variable extent when plasma was kept at 24 de...

We investigate fractional quantum Hall effect at finite temperature using a fermion Chern-Simons field theoretical approach. In the absence of impurity scattering, the essential aspects of fractional quantum Hall effect, such as the quantization of Hall conductance, as well as quasi-particle charge and statistics are unrenormalized by thermal fluctuations. On the other hand, we find that the lo...

abstract dormancy in potato minituber buds is one of the limiting factors on planting them after harvesting. this study was undertaken in a completely randomized nested with arrengment three replications to examine the effective hormonal and temperature treatments on rapid breaking of minitubers dormancy at 2008. treatments included gibberellic acid (2 and 5 mg/l), benzyl adenine (5 and 10 mg/l...
