We construct a dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-based photonic crystal fiber (PCF) temperature sensor with enhanced sensitivity. A solid-core PCF with large mode area is employed to supply the in-line Mach– Zehnder interference between the fundamental and cladding modes. Thus, temperature sensing can be realized because of the shift of interference spectrum at different temperatures.The DMSO solvent is...

Most aspects of reproductive function including spermatogenesis, oocyte growth and maturation, early embryonic development, fetal and placental growth, and lactation can be affected by thermal stress. Furthermore, it has been shown that oxidative stress involves in the pathology of thermal stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of thermal stress on the ovine mat...

Temperature sensor using piezoelectric quartz tuning fork resonators have attracted much interest due to their simple structure and potentially high sensitivity. In this paper, we present the fundamental limits of the use of quartz tuning fork (QTF) for temperature sensor. The QTF temperature sensors are tuning fork quartz crystal vibrating in flexural model and optimally designed with a therma...

Temperature compensation is a notable property of circadian oscillators that indicates the insensitivity of the oscillator system’s period to temperature changes; the underlying mechanism, however, is still unclear. We investigated the influence of protein dimerization and cooperative stability in protein degradation on the temperature compensation ability of two oscillators. Here, cooperative ...

zno nanostructures of different methods and sizes were grown in a controlled manner using a simple hydrothermal and sonochemical technique. controlling the content of concentration and temperature of the reaction mixture, spherical nanoparticles zno structures could be synthesized at temperatures 100-150 °c with excellent reproducibility in solvothermal and at different power and time in sonoch...

Studies to date have documented substantial variation among species in the degree to which phenology responds to temperature and shifts over time, but we have a limited understanding of the causes of such variation. Here, we use a spatially and temporally extensive data set (ca. 48 000 observations from across Canada) to evaluate the utility of museum collection records in detecting broad-scale...

In this study 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) interaction with carbon nanocone(NC) and nanocone Sheet (NCS) was evaluated by density functional theory. The calculated thermodynamic parameters including Gibbs free energy changes and Enthalpy alterations showed the interaction of TATB with the both nanostructures are exothermic, spontaneous, experimentally possible ...

-The influence of the irradiation dose on the parameters which control the temperature sensitivity of thick oxide p-MOS ionising radiation dosimeters is investigated. The temperature sensitivity of the threshold voltage, the carrier mobility and the minimum temperature coefficient current appear to be dose-dependent contrary to what is generally considered. The consequences on the dose measurem...
