The intensity of the chemical processes occurring in living tissues undergoes significant changes, the temperature of these tissues changes; on muscle tissue, this law can be demonstrated with greater clarity; It is known that when the temperature rises or falls, the muscle curve shrinks sharply, and the latent period of irritation lengthens for low temperatures and shortens for high temperatures. The duration of the latent period is thus associated with the rapidity of the appearance of chemical changes in the muscles and can serve, to a certain extent, as yardstick.

Influence Of Temperature On

In order to establish the influence of temperature upon the effect of varying doses of strychnin injected into frogs, the animals must be kept under observation for several days and at various definite degrees of temperature. Statements that the animal was kept "cold," "at room temperature," or "warm" are insufficient. With a certain dose tetanus may result constantly at 30° C. yet never appear at 21° C., and either of these temperatures might be described as warm, when compared to a room temperature of 15° C. Furthermore an animal may apparently fail to respond in the cold to an injection of certain doses of strychnin and yet be found in tetanic convulsions the next day. That an animal may have late, long lasting, or strong tetanus while kept at such a low temperature as 5° C. after an injection of a dose of strychnin smaller than 0.01 of a milligram per frog emphasizes the fact that great caution must be exercised in formulating laws as to the influence of temperature on drug action. The main results of this investigation may be summarized as follows: Doses of strychnin amounting to 0.0006 of a milligram per gram of frog will cause tetanus at all temperatures between 5° C. and 30° C., although at low temperatures the tetanus may appear late. A dose of 0.0003 of a milligram per gram of frog will frequently produce tetanus at 5° C. as well as at 30° or 27° C., but may nevertheless fail to produce any reaction at such an intermediary temperature as 21° C. Smaller doses, 0.0002 of a milligram per gram, will cause tetanus in the cold but not at high temperatures. It may be stated in general that in frogs kept at low temperatures the tetanic state sets in later, continues longer, and each tetanic attack is of longer duration, while in the interval between the attacks the state of tonus is higher and the animals are more irritable than when they are kept at higher temperatures.

Influence Of Temperature On

The theoretical research of the influence of temperature on the parameters of the alteration of acoustic emission signals from plastic deformation is considered. It is shown that increasing temperatures cause an increase in the amplitude of acoustic emission signals in an area of low temperatures and a decrease in an area of high temperatures. At the same time, there is an intermediate area of temperatures in which the amplitude of acoustic emission signals remains constant when temperature is increased. As shown in the article, this fact is connected with the alteration of the process of plastic deformation.

Influence Of Temperature On

A barrier-cluster model of chalcogenide glasses is employed to analyze optical transitions near the absorption edge. The influence of temperature on the optical absorption is studied. The model is used to explain the temperature shift of exponential tails of the optical absorption and the temperature dependence of the optical forbidden-band width at low temperatures.

Influence Of Temperature On

Experiments on the larval development of Fasciola gigantica carried out under natural conditions have shown that at temperatures of 16° C. or less the rediae did not produce cercariae. The first-generation rediae, developed from the sporocyst, and all the rediae of subsequent generations produced only daughter rediae and did not change over to the production of cercariae as long as the low temperatures of the cold season lasted.As soon as the cold season ended and the temperature of the water in the aquaria containing the infected snails rose to a mean maximum of 20° C. all the rediae switched from redial to cercarial production.

Large Animals

Guinea pigs were forced to swim to total exhaustion in water at various temperatures. Small animals (400 gm) showed peak performance at about 40°C, large ones (1000 gm) at about 35°C. Large animals swam longer at low temperatures but shorter at high temperatures than did small ones. At 35°C all guinea pigs swam for an average of about 150 minutes. In general this species shows much less capacity for swimming than do albino rats. The difference may be related to diet or to endocrine factors.

Temperature and humidity are critical factors for terrestrial lungless salamanders, as their body temperatures are largely determined by the environmental temperature and require moisture to sustain cutaneous respiration. Herein, we evaluated the preference of Bolitoglossa ramosi Brame and Wake, 1972 between a high temperature and a high relative humidity (RH), the influence of temperature on RH preferences, and the influence of RH on the thermal preferences. This study was performed in a field location in the municipality of Líbano, Tolima, Colombia. There, on different nights, we collected 84 adult B. ramosi and carried out the preference experiments, using aluminum troughs with different thermal and RH gradients. We found that between high temperature and high RH, B. ramosi preferred high RH. However, B. ramosi selected high temperatures when the gradient had a high RH and low temperatures when the gradient had a low RH. These results show that B. ramosi is able to thermoregulate and hydroregulate. Nevertheless, hydroregulation seems to be more important than thermoregulation because B. ramosi always selected the high RH gradients, while their thermal selection relied on the hydric environment.

Influence Of Temperature On

No development of the egg within the female Damalinia equi (Denny) occurred at 16�C. Most eggs were laid at 36�C at R.H.'s of 75% or less, but after an exposure to 44.5�C for only 1 hr females did not lay eggs. Morphogenesis proceeded to an advanced state from 27-39�C, but its completion and the subsequent hatching of the embryo only took place from 31-39�C provided the R.H. was less than 90%. A R.H. of 90% prevented hatching of the eggs. Exposure of eggs to 49�C for 2 hr was lethal. The skin temperature of the horse is influenced considerably by atmospheric temperature. The abundance of D. equi on the bodies of horses in early spring is probably due to the temperatures near the skin of the body being continuously favourable for reproduction of D. equi during the winter. Exposure to the sun can cause the temperatures within the hair coat on the upper aspects of the body to become higher than 44.5�C for more than an hour and thus can retard reproduction. The accumulative effect of repeated high temperatures could prevent an increase in the numbers of D. equi during the summer.

1. The effect of temperature on the photosensory latent period in Pholas dactylus is accurately described by the Arrhenius equation when µ = 18,300. 2. The adequacy of this equation has already been found for two other photosensitive animals, Mya and Ciona, which are very similar in behavior to Pholas. The value of µ is different for each of the three species studied. 3. This is taken to mean that though the organization of the receptor process is the same for the three species, the chemical materials concerned are very likely different.
