    • 1874, author uncertain, Association Française pour l’Avancement des Sciences[1] (in French), page 843:
      A 1° C. la température de dissociation pour l’hæmoglobine est à peine atteinte ; à 1° il faut mille secondes pour chasser autant d’oxygène par un courant d’hydrogène qu’on en obtient en dix secondes à la température de 37° C.

    • 1877, Francis Bertier -, The Spas of Aix-les-Bains and Marlioz, Savoy (in English), page 10:
      According to him, although Bareges and Luchon are in this category, they are much inferior to Aix, where one has a vaporium of 40° to 45° C. (104° to 112° Fahr.), and so large a quantity of water that the different bathing operations can be varied to any extent.
    • 1911, Sir Napier Shaw, Forecasting Weather - Page viii (in English):
      Any application to the atmosphere of thermodynamics which assumes that waterstuff below 0° C. is ice must necessarily lead the investigator into error.
    • 1916, Ophthalmology: Essays, Abstracts and Reviews, volume 12 (in English), page 150:
      He also likes the vapor-cauterization of Wesseli (100° C.), which does not produce an action at a distance. It also helps for deep scrophulous ulcera.
    • 1932, Leroy Frank Marek, Dorothy Anna Hahn, The Catalytic Oxidation of Organic Compounds in the Vapor Phase (in English), Chemical Catalog Company, page 235:
      Thus, in the presence of palladianized asbestos at temperatures above 339° C. carbon dioxide and water were formed if sufficient oxygen was present and carbon monoxide and water if the oxygen was not sufficient for the complete combustion.
    • 1960, United States. Bureau of Mines, Bulletin, number 585 (in English), page 411:
      In the R-N process, iron ore is reduced with an excess of carbonaceous solid at 980° to 1,090° C. in a bricklined rotary kiln.
    • 1960 May, “Testing a Brush Type "2" diesel locomotive”, in Trains Illustrated (in English), page 304:
      The maximum permissible rises in temperature for both the main generators and the traction motors are 120° C. in the armature and 130° C. in the field coils, so that there is an ample margin of safety to meet abnormal conditions.
    • 1962, Rudolph J. Angelo, "Linearly Fused Polycyclic Polymers and Process", US Patent 3245974 [2], page 2 col. 5:
      "It is convenient to run the cyclizations at a temperature between 25° C. and 100° C."
    • 2018, Jun Koyama, Semiconductor device including refresh circuit for memory cell (UA Patent 9,922,692) (in English):
      For example, the off-state current per micrometer of the channel width at 85° C. is less than or equal to 100 yA (1 yA (yoctoampere) is 1×10−24 A).
