Maximum daily consumption rate (Cmax as ration or number) of northern squawfish (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) from the Columbia River increased exponentially as a function of temperature. Predator weight did not explain a significant independent proportion of variation in Cmax. The mean maximum daily ration, determined from replicate ad libitum feeding on juvenile Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), was 0.47, 0.70, 3.39, and 4.50 cg∙g−1 at 8.0, 12.5, 17.0, and 21.5 °C, respectively. The corresponding mean daily number eaten was 0.50, 1.17, 4.25, and 7.01 prey per predator at the four increasing temperatures. To quantify the temperature-dependent consumption relation, replicate Cmax data within the preferred temperature range were fitted to exponential and exponential sigmoid models. On the basis of a knowledge of thermal relations of northern squawfish, we combined hypothetical Cmax data at temperature extremes with our mean experimental results to fit an algorithm suitable for use in simulation modeling. Both the generalized gamma and biological-rate (Thornton and Lessem. 1978. Trans. Am. Fish. Soc. 107: 284–287) algorithms were suitable to describe a hypothetical temperature–Cmax model over the entire environmental temperature range of 0–27 °C observed in the Columbia River.

The germination of endangered species Dalbergia nigra was studied and 30.5° C was found as optimum temperature, although the species presented a broad temperature range where germination occurs and light had no effect. The analysis of kinetics of seed germination confirmed the asynchronized germination below and above the optimum temperature. The light insensitive seed and germination also at high temperatures indicated that D. nigra could occur both in understories and gaps where the mean temperature was high.

The Mean

The growth behaviour of spinel crystals in vanadium slag with high Cr2O3 content was investigated and clarified by statistical analyses based on the Crystal Size Distribution (CSD) theory. The results indicate that low cooling rate and Cr2O3 content benefit the growth of spinel crystals. The chromium spinel crystals firstly precipitated and then acted as the heterogeneous nuclei of vanadium and titanium spinel crystals. The growth mechanisms of the spinel crystals at the cooling rate of 5 K/min consist two regimes: firstly, nucleation control in the temperature range of 1873 to 1773 K, in which the shapes of CSD curves are asymptotic; secondly, surface and supply control within the temperature range of 1773 to 1473 K, in which the shapes of CSD curves are lognormal. The mean diameter of spinel crystals increases from 3.97 to 52.21 µm with the decrease of temperature from 1873 to 1473 K.

Abstract Previous empirical models for describing the temperature-dependent development rates for insects include the Briére, Lactin, Beta, and Ratkowsky models. Another nonlinear regression model, not previously considered in population entomology, is the Lobry–Rosso–Flandrois model, the shape of which is very close to that of the Ratkowsky model in the suboptimal temperature range, but which has the added advantage that all four of its parameters have biological meaning. A consequence of this is that initial parameter estimates, needed for solving the nonlinear regression equations, are very easy to obtain. In addition, the model has excellent statistical properties, with the estimators of the parameters being “close-to-linear,” which means that the least squares estimators are close to being unbiased, normally distributed, minimum variance estimators. The model describes the pooled development rates very well throughout the entire biokinetic temperature range and deserves to become the empirical model of general use in this area.

Abstract. Temperature dependent rate coefficients for the gas phase reactions of Cl atoms with 4-hexen-3-one and 5-hexen-2-one were measured over the temperature range of 298–363 K relative to 1-pentene, 1,3-butadiene and isoprene. Gas Chromatography (GC) was used to measure the concentrations of the organics. The derived temperature dependent Arrhenius expressions are k4-hexen-3-one+Cl (298–363 K) = (2.82 ± 1.76)×10−12exp [(1556 ± 438)/T] cm3 molecule−1 s−1 and k5-hexen-2-one+Cl (298–363 K) = (4.6 ± 2.4)×10−11exp[(646 ± 171)/T] cm3 molecule−1 s−1. The corresponding room temperature rate coefficients are (5.54 ± 0.41)×10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 and (4.00 ± 0.37)×10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 for the reactions of Cl atoms with 4-hexen-3-one and 5-hexen-2-one respectively. To understand the mechanism of Cl atom reactions with unsaturated ketones, computational calculations were performed for the reactions of Cl atoms with 4-hexen-3-one, 5-hexen-2-one and 3-penten-2-one over the temperature range of 275–400 K using Canonical Variational Transition state theory (CVT) with Small Curvature Tunneling (SCT) in combination with CCSD(T)/6-31+G(d, p)//MP2/6-311++G(d, p) level of theory. Atmospheric implications, reaction mechanism and feasibility of the title reactions are discussed in this manuscript.

The Mean

Temperature-dependent neutron powder diffraction experiments (diffractometer 3T2-LLB, Saclay, France, λ = 1.227 Å) have been performed on the perovskite-like lead hafnate titanate PbHf0.4Ti0.6O3. This compound belongs to the solid solution denoted PHT, which derives from the well known ferroelectric PZT series. It exhibits a ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition around 620 K, between the low-temperature tetragonal phase and the high-temperature cubic phase. The tetragonal structure of the ferroelectric phase has been refined at 10 and 300 K using a Rietveld-type method: space group P4mm with Z = 1; at = 3.999 (1), ct = 4.120 (1) Å, c/a = 1.030, V = 65.89 Å3 at 10 K; at = 4.012 (1) and ct = 4.100 (1) Å, c/a = 1.022, V = 65.99 Å3 at 300 K. The cubic structure of the paraelectric phase has also been refined at 720 K: space group Pm3¯m, Z = 1, ac = 4.046 (1) Å, V = 66.23 Å3. Cation displacements and oxygen-octahedra elongations have been observed as a function of temperature. Evidence for peculiar behaviour associated with the relative shifts of the Hf and Ti atoms (thought until now to be on the same crystallographic site) was found through an anomaly of the mean-square atomic displacements of the Hf/Ti pseudo-nucleus. The PDF Nos for PbHf0.4Ti0.6O3 are 48-49-9 and 48-49-10.
