For the elderly especially, temperature sensors and water flow detectors should also be installed to indicate over or under temperature or the presence of water leaks.

The study simulated changes in agricultural yields as a result of changing precipitation and temperature patterns, finding that crop yields may increase under the higher temperature and precipitation under many climate-change scenarios in this region.
Synthetic diamonds, made by compressing diamond shards under high temperature and pressure, are less brittle and wear more evenly than natural diamonds.
Battery life will be shorter than under normal temperature conditions.

Maybe the part of the brain that manages metaphor switches off under a certain temperature and takes a while to reactivate?
Wolf Heiztechnik of Bavaria is developing a contract under which it sells temperature control rather than heating equipment.
The rate of greenhouse gas emissions is rising and we're rapidly approaching the date by which science suggests they need to peak if there's to be a reasonable chance of keeping the temperature rise under 2C.
That record will not be broken this year, but the more recent cold March of 1987 looks under threat - its mean temperature was 3.3C.
In 1931 American chemical engineer Samuel Kistler invented the lightest known solid--an aerogel--by drying a form of silicon dioxide (a raw material for glass) under intense pressure and high temperature.
Tom's Hardware agreed on this final point, finding the GHz Edition to be even more of a brute than the dual-GPU GTX 690 in terms of temperature and noise under load.

They have all tried to keep the temperature of the contest under control, to improve the chances of uniting the party after it.
For example, it is possible to check if two yeast strains were grown under the same experimental conditions (temperature, medium, etc.), and if the same methods were used to calculate growth parameters, etc.
He finds that research into geo-engineering, which might slow or check the temperature increases, languishes under-examined, and that the international problems such technology would raise seem no more likely to be sorted out wisely than the problems of climate change itself.
Store this cake in a plastic cake saver or under a class cake dome at room temperature for up to 1 week.

But Met Office critics went a step further: if it has under-estimated the natural forces holding back temperature increases, maybe the Earth is more resilient in the longer term to greenhouse gases than previously thought?
Under global warming, it turns out that the threshold temperature goes up too.
FORBES: Bringing Some Empirical Sense To All the Hurricane Hype
Many low-lying nations have used the UN conference, which is currently under way in Doha, to call for a threshold temperature rise less than 2C, arguing that even a 2C rise will jeopardise their future.
Scientists in the company's research lab have built an experimental system that captures data, such as a baby's heart rate, temperature and movement, from a series of sensors under the baby's mattress and feeds the information to the parents' PC.
Before the 1960s Imja was a glacier, but a recent temperature increase in the Himalayan region melted it into a substantial lake, which glistens under the shadow of the awe-inspiring Everest range.

Many others like him live in subterranean digs under Moscow's markets, or in boiler and storage rooms, jerry-rigging electric heaters when the temperature falls.
