Thermoregulation, also called Heat Regulation, the maintenance of an optimum temperature range by an organism.
"Celebrities aren't black," he tells me patiently, in the way one might make an observation about heat regulation in reptiles.
This provided a snapshot of the birds' body heat regulation in the harsh environment.
But, he adds, these alternatives, including a passive role in heat regulation, may be secondary functions of the plates.
This heat regulation can be achieved through different ways of heat losses such as physical, i.e. conduction, convection and radiation and/or evaporation (Collier, Dahl, & VanBaale, 2006).
Heat regulation allows for controlling the waste temperatures to achieve uniform distribution at target levels at a landfill facility.
The scientists don't know why this correlation exists, but suggest that it may be tied to heat regulation or to disease-carrying parasites harbored by tsetse flies.
It presents a structured framework of heat regulation processes to support the search for, and the selection of, appropriate strategies from the large database of nature.
By searching genetic databases, Warden found a similar protein, UCP2, that is produced in a wider range of tissues, including skeletal muscle, lung, heart, and kidney--suggesting that it might have a larger influence on overall heat regulation than UCP1.
The novel model predictive control addresses a house heat regulation by constrained optimization problem with the manipulation constraints, and accounts for possible unstable system dynamics and disturbances arising from solar and geothermal radiations.
