Over small changes in temperature, if the right semiconductor is used, the resistance of the material is linearly proportional to the temperature. There are many different semiconducting thermistors with a range from about 0.01 kelvin to 2,000 kelvins (â273.14 Â°C to 1,700 Â°C).
If you do feel the need to put them in the fridge, they can tolerate up to 3 days of cold storage if they are used soon as they are removed from the refrigerator. Seems that cucumbers are susceptible to cold injury if held more than 3 days at temperatures lower than 50F/10C. Signs of cold injury are wateriness, pitting on the outside and accelerated decay. Another factoid: Cucumbers are sensitive to ethylene gas, which is put off by some ripening fruits and vegetables.
While it is best to pickle the cukes the day you cut them, you can keep them for up to 5 days. First, harvest the cukes early in the morning before the sun has a chance to warm them. Spritz the cukes with water and place in perforated bags that zip close. Keep them cool in the refrigerator for no longer than 5 days.
