The effect of heating and cooling on heart rate in the estuarine crocodile Crocodylus porosus was studied in response to different heat transfer mechanisms and heat loads. Three heating treatments were investigated. C. porosus were: (1) exposed to a radiant heat source under dry conditions; (2) heated via radiant energy while half-submerged in flowing water at 23 degrees C and (3) heated via co...

Press‐formed paperboard food packages were heated and cooled to study the humidity effect on with a series of dimension measurements. The empty in form trays pre‐dried or preconditioned before their packing oatmeal, heating was altered find optimal storing conditions for improving dimensional stability trays. measurement results showed aggravated during cooling. Pre‐drying low observed reduce i...

Insect hygroreceptors associate as antagonistic pairs of a moist cell and a dry cell together with a cold cell in small cuticular sensilla on the antennae. The mechanisms by which the atmospheric humidity stimulates the hygroreceptive cells remain elusive. Three models for humidity transduction have been proposed in which hygroreceptors operate either as mechanical hygrometers, evaporation dete...
