Thermal torsion of F-actin

The equipartition theorem is used to calculate the mode amplitudes for F-actin thermal torsion. The amplitudes phi n are found to scale as n-1, (EI)-1/2, and L1/2, where n is mode number, EI is actin bending stiffness, and L is filament length. Depending on conditions, the amplitude can be as large as 15 degrees; this is discussed briefly in terms of skeletal muscle mechanics.     

Thermal stability of proteins

The maximum melting points of 14 proteins in respect to pH are reported, the correlation coefficient between the hydrophobic index and the melting point was +0.622, and that between the average residue volumes and the melting points was +0.960. The correlation coefficient between the average residue volume and the hydrophobic index was +0.697. The least square relation between the melting points of the proteins and hydrophobic index and the average residue volumes considered as independent variables yielded a positive coefficient for the average residue volume and a negative coefficient for the hydrophobic index.     

Thermal behaviour of crustaceans

Specific thermoreceptors or putative multimodal thermoreceptors are not known in Crustacea. However, behavioural studies on thermal avoidance and preference and on the effects of temperature on motor activity indicate that the thermosensitivity of crustaceans may be in the range 0.2-2 degrees C. Work on planktonic crustaceans suggests that they respond particularly to changes in temperature by klinokinesis and orthokinesis. The thermal behaviour of crustaceans is modified by thermal acclimation among other factors. The acclimation of the critical maximum temperature is an example of resistance acclimation, while the acclimation of preference behaviour may be classified as capacity acclimation of some other function. In crustaceans, the use of the concepts stenothermy and eurythermy at the species level is questionable, and it is not possible to divide crustacean species into thermal guilds as suggested for fishes. Thermal preference behaviour contributes to fitness in different ways in different species, often by maximising the aerobic metabolic scope for activity. In crustaceans the peripheral nervous system seems to have retained the capacity for thermosensitivity and thermal acclimation independently of the central nervous system control of behaviour.     

Thermal degradation of glucosinolates

Three glucosinolates (allyl-, benzyl- and 2-phenethyl-) were shown to degrade thermally in a GC column to yield products identical with those obtained conventionally on enzymic decomposition, namely nitriles and isothiocyanates. Nitriles were formed more readily at 125° but the facility for isothiocyanate production varied slightly with the glucosinolate; 2-phenethylglucosinolate was the most labile of those studied yielding isothiocyanate at a column temperature of 150°. Temperature was confirmed as the cause of degradation by isolated heated-tube experiments. The results have significance both with regard to analytical methodology for glucosinolates and their products, and with regard to furthering understanding of the mechanisms of glucosinolate degradation.     

Thermal equilibrium of goats

The effects of air temperature and relative humidity on thermal equilibrium of goats in a tropical region was evaluated. Nine non-pregnant Anglo Nubian nanny goats were used in the study. An indirect calorimeter was designed and developed to measure oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, methane production and water vapour pressure of the air exhaled from goats. Physiological parameters: rectal temperature, skin temperature, hair-coat temperature, expired air temperature and respiratory rate and volume as well as environmental parameters: air temperature, relative humidity and mean radiant temperature were measured. The results show that respiratory and volume rates and latent heat loss did not change significantly for air temperature between 22 and 26 °C. In this temperature range, metabolic heat was lost mainly by convection and long-wave radiation. For temperature greater than 30 °C, the goats maintained thermal equilibrium mainly by evaporative heat loss. At the higher air temperature, the respiratory and ventilation rates as well as body temperatures were significantly elevated. It can be concluded that for Anglo Nubian goats, the upper limit of air temperature for comfort is around 26 °C when the goats are protected from direct solar radiation.     

番茄红素热处理异构化方法研究

番茄红素在受热的情况下会发生反式异构体(all-trans)向顺式异构体(cis-isomers)的转化。本文研究了乙酸乙酯热回流、微波法及超声-微波协同法对番茄红素异构化的影响。结果表明:乙酸乙酯热回流处理后,6%番茄红素油树脂中顺式异构体占比高于90%番茄红素中顺式异构体占比;氮气保护对番茄红素的异构化无明显保护作用;微波对番茄红素异构化有较强的促进作用,处理5 h后顺式占比可以高达54.7%,但超声-微波协同法对番茄红素异构化的影响与微波单独使用时无明显变化。所以微波是较好的番茄红素热处理异构化方法。
