At constant temperatures the cold receptor is continuously active.
Predictable weather patterns in equatorial environments which produced constant temperatures, regular rains and seasonal storms are no longer behaving.
Geothermal heat pumps -- using earth's constant temperatures to heat and cool air pumped through buildings -- didn't get the attention that flashier energy choices did.
In Manhattan, wells are driven straight through bedrock, sometimes as deep as 1,500 feet, to reach the constant temperatures of groundwater.
Mariotte realized that the law holds true only under constant temperatures; otherwise, the volume of gas expands when heated or contracts when cooled.
For example, at constant temperatures thermoreceptors are continuously active, with the frequency of the steady discharge (static response) depending on the temperature.
"The oceans of ancient Venus would have had more constant temperatures, and if life begins in the oceans - something which we are not certain of on Earth - then this would be a good starting place," said Way.
Warm receptors are continuously active at constant temperatures above neutral skin temperature and have response maxima around 41 46 °C (106 115 °F), although, in many cases, warm receptors are inactive at temperatures above 45 °C (113 °F).
In those studies, researchers incubated the soil in bottles at constant temperatures in their laboratories for a year or more.
The constant temperatures control is one of the most challenging issues for the IFMIF test facilities.
However for some plants, fluctuating and constant temperatures have the same effect (Myking 1997).
