Band cells are the immature form of neutrophils and are produced rapidly during an infection. A large percentage of band cells in a venous blood sample indicate an infectious process occurring in the body.
Sensitivity to temperature is a skin sense that is related to the human need to maintain internal temperature balance or thermal homeostasis. Temperature sensitivity is important in protecting one's self from intense temperature that may cause damage to the body.
Temperature sensitivity of soil respiration as a function of temperature, showing different curves derived from five soil respiration equations: Linear (R = a + bT), exponential (Eq. (1)), Arrhenius (Eq. (2)), Lloyd and Taylor (Eq. (3)), and power (R = R o T c).Data are taken from Lloyd and Taylor (1994) .owever, it has been a common practice in several most commonly used ecosystem models that temperature sensitivity of soil respiration is treated as invariant (e.g. Heimann et al., 1989, Raich et al., 1991, Running and Hunt, 1993 and Potter et al., 1993).
