The specific volumes and pressures in the saturated states of the pure liquids acetone, benzene, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride have been determined from a temperature of 100 °C and a pressure of about 2 atm up to the highest temperatures and pressures at which liquid and vapor coexist. The critical temperatures have been determined by the method of disappearance of meniscus, critical densities from the law of the rectilinear diameter, and critical pressures by extrapolation of the log P vs. 1/T line to the critical temperature.

The frequency of contraction of the bell of Gonionemus was studied in relation to temperature, with intact animals and also where different operations were made on the nervous system. A number of values of µ are found for intact animals namely 8,100±, 10,500±, 32,000± and 22,500±, with critical temperatures at 9.6°, 12.3°, and 14.0°. Four different classes of operations were used: (1) Animals where the nerve ring was cut on two opposite sides of the bell; the µ values found are 10,500± and 21,300±, with a critical temperature at 13.4°. (2) Animals with four cuts through the nerve ring gave µ = 10,600 ± and µ = 21,000, with a critical temperature at 13.1°. (3) In animals where the bell was cut in half the temperature characteristic was found to be 16,900. And finally (4) in the animals where the nerve ring was totally removed µ values of 8,100, 16,000±, and 29,000 were found, with critical temperatures at 15.0° and 9.4°. These results are discussed from the standpoint of the theory which supposes that definite "temperature characteristics" may be associated with the functional activity of particular elements in a complex functional unit, and that these elements may be separately studied and identified by suitable experimental procedures involving the magnitudes of the respective temperature characteristics and the locations of associated critical temperatures. The swimming bell of medusæ with its marginal sense organs permits a fairly direct approach to such questions. It is found that even slight injuries to the marginal nerve ring, for example, produce specific modifications in the temperature relations which are different from those appearing when the organism is cut in half.

The index of refraction at 6328 Å has been measured for germane in the density range 0.15 to 0.9 g/cm3. The temperature and density ranges over which measurements are made are near the coexistence curve. The coefficient in the Lorenz–Lorentz expression, [Formula: see text], is constant to within 0.5% within experimental error for the temperature range and density range studied. The coefficient is slightly higher near the critical density. The critical density is measured to be 0.503 g/cm3. The critical temperature is measured to be 38.92 °C.

AbstractThe binary and ternary intermetallic compounds Zr3Fe, Zr2 Fe, (Zr0.5,Nb0.5)3Fe, Zr3(Fe0.9,Ni0.1) and Zr3(Fe0.5,Ni0.5) were subjected to 900 keV electron irradiation until amorphous to study the change in the dose-to-amorphization with temperature. The critical temperatures were observed to vary with dose rate, and with the type of compound. Hexagonal (Zr0.5,Nb0.5)3Fe had an appreciably lower critical temperature and higher dose to amorphization at low temperature than orthorombic Zr3Fe, whereas other orthorombic Zr3(Fex,NiI-x) compounds were essentially identical in behavior to Zr3Fe. The electron energy dependence of the dose-to-amorphization was studied in Zr3Fe between 250 and 900 keV. The analysis of the results gives displacement energies of EZrd = 26 eV, EFed = 18 eV in the Zr3Fe compound.

AbstractBy analyzing structural and electronic properties of more than a hundred predicted hydrogen-based superconductors, we determine that the capacity of creating an electronic bonding network between localized units is key to enhance the critical temperature in hydrogen-based superconductors. We define a magnitude named as the networking value, which correlates with the predicted critical temperature better than any other descriptor analyzed thus far. By classifying the studied compounds according to their bonding nature, we observe that such correlation is bonding-type independent, showing a broad scope and generality. Furthermore, combining the networking value with the hydrogen fraction in the system and the hydrogen contribution to the density of states at the Fermi level, we can predict the critical temperature of hydrogen-based compounds with an accuracy of about 60 K. Such correlation is useful to screen new superconducting compounds and offers a deeper understating of the chemical and physical properties of hydrogen-based superconductors, while setting clear paths for chemically engineering their critical temperatures.

In this paper, we study the thermodynamic of the charged AdS black holes in Rastall gravity. Firstly, the thermodynamic quantities of the charged AdS black holes in Rastall gravity are reviewed and the state equation of this black hole is obtained. Then, we investigate the [Formula: see text] critical and the Joule–Thomson expansion of the charged AdS black holes in Rastall gravity in which the critical temperature and the critical exponents are obtained. In addition, we get the inversion temperature and plot the isenthalpic and inversion curves in the [Formula: see text] plane, and also determine the cooling-heating regions of this black hole through the Joule–Thomson expansion. Finally, we investigate the ratio between the minimum inversion and critical temperatures, and find that the Rastall constant [Formula: see text] does not affect of this ratio.

The frequency of pulsation of the heart of Ciona intestinalis increases with temperature in both advisceral and abvisceral direction, according to the Arrhenius equation. The increase in pulsation is the same in both directions. The following µ values were obtained: 8,000–, 12,000+, 16,000, in several combinations, with critical temperatures at 10°, 15°, and 20°C. The values found are comparable with earlier findings for activity of the heart in different animals. This quantitative correspondence suggests anew the conception that temperature characteristics may be employed for recognition of controlling processes. The fact that the µ's and the critical temperature are the same for advisceral and abvisceral beats, indicates that the general metabolic condition of the two ends of the heart is the same in any one individual.
