This is NOT the beginning of the run. This graph begins after the gas flow to 
the cell is shut off, as I noted.

The other graphs DO show the temperature reaching 70 deg C before this phase 
begins.

The other graphs do not show adiabatic cooling. They show a large heat pulse 
during the gas loading which, as I noted, Arata ascribes to a combination of 
chemical and
nuclear heat. Perhaps the adiabatic cooling from the gas expansion is swamped 
by this other heat.

I will upload other graphs later. It is unfortunate that I can give only a 
partial description now. Please do not read too much into the limited 
information I have provided so far. And please read the description I sent a 
little more carefully.
