In contrast, ambient temperature is the actual temperature, as measured by a thermometer, of the air (or other medium and surroundings) in any particular place. The ambient temperature (e.g. an unheated room in winter) may be very different from an ideal room temperature.
A temperature between 101–102 is considered a mild fever, 102–103 a moderate, and 104 or above a high fever, and delirium or convulsions may occur. From birth until adolescence, temperature between 99.8–100.8 is considered a low-grade fever. If the temperature is taken rectally, it is not considered a fever until it is above 100.4.
For humans, the typical respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12–15 breaths per minute. [10] The respiratory center sets the quiet respiratory rhythm at around two seconds for an inhalation and three seconds exhalation. This gives the lower of the average rate at 12 breaths per minute.
The temperature of the testes is maintained at 34.4 °C, a little below body temperature, as temperatures above 36.7 °C impede spermatogenesis. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] There are a number of mechanisms to maintain the testes at the optimum temperature.
The IP code or ingress protection code indicates how well a device is protected against water and dust. It is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the international standard IEC 60529 [ 1 ] which classifies and provides a guideline to the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical ...
Increasing the shunt resistance (R sh) and decreasing the series resistance (R s) lead to a higher fill factor, thus resulting in greater efficiency, and bringing the cell's output power closer to its theoretical maximum. [21] Typical fill factors range from 50% to 82%. The fill factor for a normal silicon PV cell is 80%.
Heat stroke or heatstroke, also known as sun-stroke, is a severe heat illness that results in a body temperature greater than 40.0 °C (104.0 °F), [4] along with red skin, headache, dizziness, and confusion. [2]
Billy Joel (pictured in 2009) was a three-time chart-topper in 1984. Adult Contemporary is a chart published by Billboard ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in the adult contemporary music (AC) market.
