He is known for his measurement of mean normal human body temperature of 37 °C (98.6 °F), now known more accurately to be about 36.8 °C (98.2 °F). [1]
In Greater London in 2007-2016 temperatures were higher in neighbourhoods with lower levels of urban vegetation and with higher levels of income deprivation, social housing, and non-native English speakers. The number of heat-related deaths increased by about 3% for each 1°C increase in temperature.
In women, ovulation causes a sustained increase of at least 0.2 °C (0.4 °F) in BBT. Monitoring BBTs is one way of estimating the day of ovulation. The tendency of a woman to have lower temperatures before ovulation, and higher temperatures afterwards, is known as a biphasic temperature pattern.
It is estimated that the worldwide average height for an adult human male is about 171 cm (5 ft 7 in), while the worldwide average height for adult human females is about 159 cm (5 ft 3 in). [158] Shrinkage of stature may begin in middle age in some individuals but tends to be typical in the extremely aged. [159]

For example, oleic acid and elaidic acid are both unsaturated fatty acids with the chemical formula C 9 H 17 C 9 H 17 O 2. [37] They both have a double bond located midway along the carbon chain. It is the configuration of this bond that sets them apart. The configuration has implications for the physical-chemical properties of the molecule.
α-spodumene is roasted at 1100 °C for 1h to make β-spodumene, then roasted at 250 °C for 10 minutes with sulphuric acid. [30] [22] As of 2020, Australia was the world's largest producer of lithium intermediates, [31] all based on spodumene.
