Retrieved 4 April 2018. 1.2.3.3 Definition of Room Temperature: According to the United States Pharmacopeia National Forumlary [ sic] (USP-NF), the definition of room temperature is between 15 and 30 °C in the United States. However, in the EU, the room temperature is defined as being 15 to 25 °C, while in Japan, it is defined being 1 to 30 °C.
Antipyretic. An antipyretic ( / ˌæntipaɪˈrɛtɪk /, from anti- 'against' and pyretic 'feverish') is a substance that reduces fever. [ 1] Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override a prostaglandin -induced increase in temperature. [citation needed] The body then works to lower the temperature, which results in a reduction in fever.
Haloperidol is a crystalline material with a melting temperature of 150 °C. [67] This drug has very low solubility in water (1.4 mg/100 mL), but it is soluble in chloroform, benzene, methanol, and acetone. It is also soluble in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (3 mg/mL) with heating. [68]
Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses subjective satisfaction with the thermal environment. [ 1] The human body can be viewed as a heat engine where food is the input energy. The human body will release excess heat into the environment, so the body can continue to operate. The heat transfer is proportional to temperature ...
An operating temperature is the allowable temperature range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates. The device will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies based on the device function and application context, and ranges from the minimum operating temperature to the maximum operating temperature (or peak operating ...
The breathing gas source may be the ambient atmosphere, compressed air supplied from a low pressure compressor in real time, oxygen enriched air supplied from an oxygen concentrator, [6] high-pressure stored compressed air, supercritical compressed air, [7] oxygen or blended gas mixtures, liquid oxygen, chemically generated oxygen, or a ...
A long wait-list. Mother and child cures started after World War II, when the Müttergenesungswerk (MGW), which roughly translates as institute for mothers’ wellbeing, was founded.
Algor mortis (from Latin algor 'coldness' and mortis 'of death'), the third stage of death, is the change in body temperature post mortem, until the ambient temperature is matched. This is generally a steady decline, although if the ambient temperature is above the body temperature (such as in a hot desert ), the change in temperature will be ...
