Shell-core effect

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

At first this article, nothing more than a single unpunctuated, unreferenced sentence, looked like a candidate for speedy deletion or a redirect to food coma, but after a little research I cannot find very much to support the current definition. There are a mere 10 Google web hits for the term, most of them Wikipedia mirrors, and nothing independent relating to the term as defined. Searches on Google Books and Google Scholar return mostly information related to molecular physics and polymers, and out of the two results I could find related to biology, one defines it as the process of vasoconstriction associated with hypothermia, while the other defines it as vasodilation. No idea what to do with this now, and in any case the term does not seem to be a widely-recognised one (outside of polymer physics, anyway). ~Matticus TC 08:22, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as an unsourced, poorly written dictionary definition article. VanTucky  (talk) 16:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or turn into dab page linking hypothermia & the physics usages. No Medline hits supporting the usage claimed here. Espresso Addict 23:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
