   • 1850, Andrew Jackson Davis, The Great Harmonia; Being a Philosophical Revelation of the Natural, Spiritual, and Celestial Universe, volume I, Boston, Mass.: Benjamin B. Mussey & Co., […], page 94:

     It is only by the superabundance or preponderation of one of these elements over the other, that the spirit is disturbed, and the body is afflicted with temperatural changes—either cold or heat, agues or fevers.

   • 1924, Paul Kammerer, translated by A. Paul Maerker-Branden, The Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics, New York, N.Y.: Boni and Liveright, page 182:

     By the temperatural variation as described here, another very practical adaptation was achieved: the hard-shelled egg is much better protected against drying up in high temperature.

   • 1926, Burton Peter Thom, Hygieia or Disease and Evolution, New York, N.Y.: E. P. Dutton & Company, page 46:

     But while metabolic differentiation due to temperatural, nutritional and environmental influences explains some immunity reactions it by no means explains all or even the major portion of them.

   • 1989, Поверхность, page 45:

     In the temperature interval from 300 to 100 K the spectral dependences of the surface photo-emf and a temperatural variation of the electron work function have been measured using the Kelvin method. It has been found that a temperature decrease from 300 down to 100 K leads to an increase of the depleting band bending by 0.21±0.05 eV.
