| The '''''Q''<sub>10</sub> temperature coefficient''' is a measure of the rate of change of a biological or chemical system as a consequence of increasing the [[temperature]] by 10 °C. There are many examples where the ''Q''<sub>10</sub> is used, one being the calculation of the [[nerve conduction velocity]] and another being calculating the contraction velocity of [[muscle fibre]]s. It can also be applied to [[chemical reaction]]s and many other systems.
| |
| | |
| The ''Q''<sub>10</sub> is calculated as:
| |
| | |
| : <math>Q_{10}=\left( \frac{R_2}{R_1} \right )^{10/(T_2-T_1) }</math>
| |
| | |
| where
| |
| : ''R'' is the rate
| |
| : ''T'' is the temperature in [[Celsius]] degrees or [[kelvin]]s.
| |
| | |
| ''Q''<sub>10</sub> is a unitless quantity, as it is the factor by which a rate changes, and is a useful way to express the temperature dependence of a process.
| |
| | |
| For most biological systems, the ''Q''<sub>10</sub> value is ~ 2 to 3.<ref>''Reyes, A.B., Pendergast, J.S., and Yamazaki, S. 2008. Mammalian peripheral circadian oscillators are temperature compensated. J. Biol. Rhythms 23: 95-98.''</ref>

I would like to introduce myself to you, I am Andrew and my wife doesn't like it at all. Distributing production is how he makes a residing. My spouse and I reside in Kentucky. The preferred pastime for him and his children is fashion and he'll be beginning some thing else alongside with it.
