The objectives of this study were to verify thermal properties, degree of conversion, and morphological features of several dimethacrylate polymers with different glycerol content and obtain the better proportion system ...

Undoubtedly, the interactions between matter and heat have changed both the world and humanity’s evolution. From the discovery of fire to our current reality, passing through all of scientific history, heat control has ...

The walls in architecture determine the energy behavior of a home, the physical and thermal properties of the building elements are capable of controlling the energy transfer of to the interior, avoiding dependence on ...

In this work, thermodynamic and economic analyses are applied to a Brazilian thermal power plant operating with natural gas. The analyses are performed in two cases: The current configuration and the future configuration. ...

Body temperature affects various aspects of ectotherm biology. Reptiles, as ectotherms, gain and control their temperature mainly through behavioural adjustments, although some body traits may also be advantageous. According ...

Fiddler crab males present a hypertrophied claw, which is used for sexual and aggressive displays, fights with competitors, and has been proposed as an important thermoregulatory organ for heat control. Two claw morphologies ...
