	Ceramics Today - Roseline Delisle
		One of Delisle’s earliest memories was of the sound of her father’s rhythmic chipping and watching the fine shavings curling from his chisels.
		For Delisle to attempt to throw finely with a coarse stoneware on a kick wheel says something for the tenacity and wilfulness of this artist in her pursuit of perfection, and it wasn’t until a friend introduced her to the seductive stuff of porcelain that she started to make progress.
		However, Delisle’s childhood experience of family summer house building with her father, saw her shouldering her chainsaw with the best of them and, despite her slight frame, she endured sub-zero temperatures to make enough, in a matter of months, to repay her debts and enable her to move on.

	Delisle scale - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Delisle scale is a temperature scale invented in 1732 by the French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle (1688–1768).
		Delisle chose his scale using the temperature of boiling water as the fixed zero point and measured the contraction of the mercury (with lower temperatures) in hundred-thousandths.
		Thus, the unit of this scale, the Delisle degree (sometimes spelled de Lisle), is −2/3 of a kelvin (or a degree Celsius) and absolute zero is at 559.725 Delisle degrees.

	How is Temperature Measured?
		Temperature is the heat of an object, measured by its intensity or degree on a defined scale.
		The Delisle temperature scale was invented by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in 1732, and set the boiling point as 0 and the freezing point as 100.
		The freezing point temperature on this scale, then, is 491.67°R. Swedish Astronomer Anders Celsius proposed a temperature scale in 1742 that marked the boiling and freezing/melting points of water as its key terms.

		His father, Claude Delisle (1644-1720) studied law and then later settled in Paris as private teacher in geography and history, and afterwards filled the office of royal censor.
		In 1702 he became élève, in 1716 adjoint, and in 1718 associé of the Académie des Sciences; and, as the young king's instructor in geography, received the title of First Royal Geographer with a fixed salary, an office which was then created for the first time.
		One particular recommendation of his charts is that he employed a fixed scale of measurement for regions closely connected with one another.

	Temperature - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		K. For everyday applications, it is often convenient to use the Celsius scale, in which 0 °C corresponds to the temperature at which water freezes and 100 °C corresponds to the boiling point of water at sea level.
		In this scale a temperature difference of 1 degree is the same as a 1 K temperature difference, so the scale is essentially the same as the kelvin scale, but offset by the temperature at which water freezes (273.15 K).
		Thus, one can define a scale for temperature based on the corresponding pressure and volume of the gas: the temperature in kelvins is the pressure in pascals of one mole of gas in a container of one cubic metre, divided by 8.31...

	Osmeridae
		This smelt is susceptible to acute infections with Glugea hertwigi, a sporozoan parasite, in the NCR.
		White cysts of the parasite cause the intestines to adhere together and the fish starve (Delisle, 1965a; 1965b; 1969; Legault and Delisle, 1967; Delisle et Veilleux, 1969).

		In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (written 32°F), and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and melting points of water 180 degrees apart.
		Thus the unit of this scale, a degree Fahrenheit, is 5/9ths of a kelvin (or of a degree Celsius), and -40 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to -40 degrees Celsius.
		His measurements were not entirely accurate, though; by his original scale, the actual freezing and boiling points would have been noticeably different from 32°F and 212°F. Some time after his death, it was decided to recalibrate the scale with 32°F and 212°F being the actual freezing and boiling points of plain water.

	History of the Celsius temperature scale (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The French Réaumur scale had zero at the freezing point but as regards other scales one placed zero outside the ordinary temperature region, thus avoiding the mixture of positive and negative numbers.
		The scale is mentioned in a dissertation by Samuel Naucler in 1745, but this does not indicate Linné as the single inventor of the modern scale.
		From the scientific point of view the most important contribution to the modern temperature scale is due to Celsius because of his careful experiments on the fixed points.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: Why do we have so many temperature scales?
		Among the earliest quantitative temperature scales was that developed in 1692 by Danish astronomer Ole (or Olef or Olaus) Rømer, who had earlier made measurements of the speed of light and developed a standard system of measures for the Danish realm based on the Rhineland foot.
		This scale was officially adopted throughout Europe except for Britain and Scandinavia, but beginning with the adoption of the centigrade scale by the French revolutionary government in 1794 it gradually declined in popularity, finally falling into disuse sometime in the 20th century.
		The scale of Joseph DeLisle (modified by Weitbrecht in 1738) was an inverse scale, with the boiling point of water set at 0 and the freezing point at 150 degrees.

	The Asian Reporter - BOOK REVIEW
		Delisle displays a unique perspective that introduces the reader to new sensations and makes the reader see familiar things in a fresh manner.
		The skyline was made of Communist concrete tower blocks and, in many of the graphic novel’s panels, Delisle seems to have worn his pencil dull capturing detail and then ground it down further portraying the nuanced shades of gray.
		During that time, he was struck by many of the things that foreigners are struck by, including the Asian custom of covering the mouth when using a toothpick and the resignation to public privies that don’t encourage you to have a seat.

		Delisle arrives in Pyongyang, a "phantom city in a hermit nation," armed with a CD player and a single book: George Orwell's 1984.
		When Delisle isn't flying paper airplanes out his hotel room window or finding new ways to escape his handlers (venturing into restricted-access areas such as the NGO, the embassy quarter and one particularly memorable escapade into a Chinese casino, where Koreans aren't allowed), he's encouraged to go on educational day trips to landmarks.
		That Delisle never manages to see underneath the façade may in fact be the most telling fact, and the most powerful.

		The Celsius scale sets 0.01 °C to be at the triple point of water and a degree Celsius to be 1/273.16 of the difference in temperature between the triple point of water and absolute zero.
		Until 1954 the scale was defined with the freezing point of water at 0 °C and the boiling point at 100 °C at standard atmospheric pressure.
		The current official definition of the Celsius scale sets 0.01 °C to be at the triple point of water and a degree to be 1/273.16 of the difference in temperature between the triple point of water and absolute zero.

	Wikipedia: Kelvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale where absolute zero—the lowest possible temperature where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance—is defined as zero kelvin (0 K).
		The unit increment of the Kelvin scale is the kelvin (symbol: K), which is the SI unit of temperature and is one of the seven SI base units.
		Older definitions of the Celsius scale once defined the boiling point of water under one standard atmosphere as being precisely 100 °C. However, the current definition results in a boiling point that is actually 16.1 mK less.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Guillaume Delisle
		Delisle recognized that the new methods of measuring by scale and of marking the places were very valuable for cartography; with this help he therefore produced a new and perfect picture of the world.
		When his astronomical information fell short he carefully examined and sifted all the books of travel and all the maps he could find, and the products of this reading were dovetailed neatly into the facts which he had already at hand.
		No less famous than his astronomical corrections are the completeness of his topography and the care displayed in the orthography of the names.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: Why do we have so many temperature scales?
		To "fix" a temperature scale it's necessary to identify easily reproducible reference points, or "fiduciary points." Newton chose the temperature of melting snow and the temperature of boiling water, and marked off the interval into 33 or 34 "degrees," each corresponding to a certain height of oil in the tube.
		This scale was officially adopted throughout Europe except for Britain and Scandinavia, but beginning with the adoption of the centigrade scale by the French revolutionary government in 1794 it gradually declined in popularity, finally falling into disuse sometime in the 20th century.
