Time-resolved Z-scan and thermal lens measurements in Er+3 and Nd+3 doped fluoroindate glasses
(1997-05-12)
In rare earth ion doped solids, a resonant non-linear refractive index, n2, appears when the laser pumps one of the ion excited states and the refractive index change is proportional to the excited state population. In ...

Tolerance landscapes in thermal ecology
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)
Summary: How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single temperature can accurately describe ...
Rapid within- and transgenerational changes in thermal tolerance and fitness in variable thermal landscapes
(Wiley, 2020)
Phenotypic plasticity may increase the performance and fitness and allow organisms to cope with variable environmental conditions. We studied within-generation plasticity and transgenerational effects of thermal conditions ...
Thermal tolerance and survival responses to scenarios of experimental climatic change: changing thermal variability reduces the heat and cold tolerance in a fly
(Springer, 2016)
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Most analyses of the impacts have focused on changes in mean temperature, but increasing variance will also impact organisms and populations. We assessed ...
Aurora: Mobile application for analysis of spatial variability of thermal comfort indexes of animals and people, using IDW interpolation
(2019-02-01)
This application note introduces an app for Android smartphones to create maps of the spatial variability of thermal comfort indexes and meteorological parameters. The application was developed through the Java object-oriented ...
Fluctuating thermal environments and time-dependent effects on fruit fly egg-hatching performance
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-07)
Organismal performance in a changing environment is dependent on temporal patterns and duration of exposure to thermal variability. We experimentally assessed the time-dependent effects of thermal variability (i.e., patterns ...
Variable Thermal Comfort Index for Indoor Work Space in Office Buildings: A Study in Germany
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2016-09)
International standards state the thermal comfort requirements that office spaces must comply with. These are based on a model developed by Prof. Paul Ole Fanger of the Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy, Denmark. ...
Thermophysical Properties of Brazilian Orange Juice as Affected by Temperature and Water Content
(1998-10-01)
The specific heat, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and density of Brazilian orange juice were determined between 0.34 and 0.73 (w/w) water content and with temperatures from 0.5 to 62°C. The experimental data ...
