|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
Perches were kept at 10 degrees C and fixed in a chamber through which water was perfused. During the experiment the water temperature was changed. The potentials induced by electric stimulation of the olfactory nerve were recorded from the dorsal surface of the olfactory bulb. The oscillations of the evoked potentials separated into several components when the temperature was lowered. Six components were found in the evoked response of the olfactory bulb at 8 degrees C.

02:11Effects of Temperature on Free Energy
The spontaneity of a process depends upon the temperature of the system. Phase transitions, for example, will proceed spontaneously in one direction or the other depending upon the temperature of the substance in question. Likewise, some chemical reactions can also exhibit temperature-dependent spontaneities. To illustrate this concept, the equation relating free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes for the process is considered:
01:27Atomic Spectroscopy: Effects of Temperature
Atomization, converting samples into gas-phase atoms and ions, is essential for atomic spectroscopy. The flame temperature required for atomization affects the efficiency of the atomic spectroscopic methods by increasing the atomization efficiency and the relative population of the excited and ground states.
At thermal equilibrium, the relative populations of excited and ground state atoms can be estimated using the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution. For example, an increase in temperature from...
