Because correlative evidence suggests that invasiveness is related to the width of a species' latitudinal range, it has been assumed – but largely untested – that range width predicts breadth of habitat temperatures and physiological thermotolerances.
In particular, it was shown that the breadth of the temperature span of the crystalline nematic transition correlated inversely with the draw down ratio.
A systematic decrease in the breadth of the service temperature window and mechanical properties of the polyureas were observed in the presence of LiCl, due to the disruption of the long range connectivity between the hard segments.
The likely reason is that distributions are often strongly affected by the breadth of tolerance for temperature (e.g., for animals: Andrewartha and Birch 1954; for plants: Woodward and Williams 1987).
It was found that the presence of PEG, its molecular weight (Mn 300 and 1100 g/mol) and its concentration (10, 20, and 30 wt.%) each significantly influenced both the value and breadth of the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) and the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the surface of the microgels.
An accurate description of thermal dependence of any aspect of organismal performance should include three critical parameters: (1) temperature or range of temperatures for maximal performance (i.e. optimum), (2) thermal performance breadth (range of temperatures in which performance is above certain level) and (3) tolerance zone or range of above-zero performance [7], [32], [33].
Because of the characteristic evolution of integral breadth with temperature as depicted in Figure 3 the changes observed were interpreted in terms of varying disorder in the crystallites of Mo(O,N 3.
The initial mobility in the glassy state is dictated by the jump size, being related to Tfo - Ta and the temperature dependence of the relaxation time along the glass line, whereas the mobility at equilibrium is dictated by Ta, Tg, and the temperature dependence and breadth of the equilibrium relaxation time.
The physical significance of the so-called compensation law is analysed and it is suggested that the lag between the compensation temperature and the glass transition temperature is related to the breadth of the glass transition.
The kinetic scheme also refers to higher temperatures, as typical of reburning, but to reduce the breadth of the work the paper is focused on low temperature interactions.
