Bathing safety for the elderly and disabled: can residents be protected from all hazards posed by bathing water? Technology's answer A third paired t-test revealed that the peak rectal temperature (Figure 2) of the second work bout ([T.sub.rec2]=38.15[+ or -]0.25[degrees]C) was significantly higher than the first work bout ([T.sub.rec1]=37.77[+ or -]0.19[degrees]C, p=0.004). Physiological responses of female fire fighters to repeated work bouts Epidemiologists, too, have noted an important temperature effect that bears watching. The stress factor: temperature and toxicity For further analysis, we normalized the peak temperature differences using specimen #4B, which had no damage and had the largest peak temperature difference. Thermal evaluation of scorched graphite-epoxy panels by infrared scanning The OAS Heat Computer also detects the cause of insufficient hot water by monitoring the temperature of the boiler water and the water coming out of the hot water coil. Stop overheating your building Watt-Flex split-sheath cartridge heaters with continuous coil provide uniform temperature profile, often eliminating need for distributed wattage.

Oxidation kinetics in beltcoat compound Most plants, including calla lilies and jack-in-the-pulpits, simply assume the ambient temperature because their metabolic reactions hum along so gently that they don't give off bursts of heat. Warm-blooded plants? Ok, there's no blood, but they do make their own heat This inadequate strength is caused by heat transfer from molten metal into a green sand mold, which leads to a temperature moisture gradient through the mold that has layers of varying strengths.
