Calibrating single-ended fiber-optic Raman spectra distributed temperature sensing data.
(Sensors (Basel), 2011)Hydrologic research is a very demanding application of fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) in terms of precision, accuracy and calibration. The physics behind the most frequently used DTS instruments are considered ... -
Finite density phase transition of QCD with N-f=4 and N-f=2 using canonical ensemble method
(2010)In a progress toward searching for the QCD critical point, we study the finite density phase transition of N-f = 4 and 2 lattice QCD at finite temperature with the canonical ensemble approach. We develop a winding number ... -
Initiation and Maintenance of Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination in the Red-Eared Slider Turtle
(2020)The vertebrate gonad is an excellent model to study organogenesis due to its unique ability to form two distinct organs from a common bipotential primordium. No single factor is responsible for activation of ovary or testis ... -
Physiological Ecology and Vulnerability to Climate Warming in Anolis
(2013)Human activity has resulted in significant increases in air temperature over the last century, and air temperatures are expected to continue rising at an accelerating rate over the next 100 years (IPCC 2007). The warming ... -
Thyroid hormone fluctuations indicate a thermoregulatory function in both a tropical (Alouatta palliata) and seasonally cold-habitat (Macaca fuscata) primate.
(Am J Primatol, 2017-11)Thyroid hormones boost animals' basal metabolic rate and represent an important thermoregulatory pathway for mammals that face cold temperatures. Whereas the cold thermal pressures experienced by primates in seasonal habitats ...
