heat regulation

Like heat regulation, using feathers for display may be much earlier than flight.

Our bodies have a more efficient method of heat regulation."

The burning of brown fat provides a baby with an alternative means of heat regulation.

The subsoil provides good drainage, and an interesting heat regulation mechanism.

He explains this condition by the assumption that the nervous mechanism of heat regulation has become paralysed.

Theropod dinosaurs evolved feathers for heat regulation rather than flight.

A modern electric skillet has an additional advantage over the stovetop version: heat regulation.

In 2006 California's first permanent heat regulations were enacted but these regulations are not strictly enforced, the union says.

Topiramate may impair heat regulation, especially in children.

Heat regulation in livestock is of great economic significance, because mammals attempt to maintain a constant optimal body temperature.

She was unable to manage her food preparation or heat regulation and was at some risk from gas and on roads.

The function of the dinosaur's sail or hump is uncertain; scientists have proposed several hypotheses including heat regulation and display.

Heat regulation: the skin contains a blood supply far greater than its requirements which allows precise control of energy loss by radiation, convection and conduction.

The building also lacks zoned heat regulation, which makes some areas of the building too hot and others too cold and reduces energy efficiency.

Burrowing is probably the most important behavior modification for heat regulation of Pimelia because it permits access to a broad range of ambient temperatures.

Rosenthal made contributions in the physiological research of respiration, and in investigations of heat regulation in warm-blooded animals.

A classic example is how feathers, which initially evolved for heat regulation, were co-opted for display, and later co-opted for use in bird flight.

Thus, it was believed that heat regulation was only achieved by varying heat loss until evidence for varying heat production was observed in honeybees.

Externally mounted were two double sets of solar cell panels that extended like wings from the smaller compartments at each end, the heat regulation system's radiators, and orientation and control devices.

I would also give no guarantee that the 15 Member States will put into effect the separating out of risk material, and above all that the heating regulations, which we believe to be right, will be observed.

Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Louis H. Newburgh (1883-1956), American physiologist who specialized in the physiology of heat regulation and clothing for cold environments.

Co-Owner Dr. Harry "Dutch" Dresser Jr. has been instrumental in helping to achieve parity in heating regulations between wood pellet heating appliances and conventional liquid and gaseous fuel appliances in some jurisdictions.

It was harder to get food in the hot savannas and as mammalian brains are prone to overheating - 5 or 6 C rise in temperature can lead to heatstroke - so there was a need for the development of better heat regulation.

In his emerging field, he developed basic principles like the relation of skin wetness to discomfort, the "met unit" to measure metabolic activity and "effective air temperature" to gauge the combined effect of temperature and humidity on body heat regulation and comfort.

In the late 1820s Thomas Nutt of Moulton Chapel developed and patented an improvement to beehives that allowed for heat regulation through improved ventilation, helped to prevent swarming, and encouraged bees to occupy other adjacent hives, thereby obviating the need to destroy bees in the collection of honey.
