A COLD WEATHER DUST WHIRL

Hyponatremia in a cold weather ultraendurance race.

We assessed the incidence and etiology of hyponatremia in the 100-mile (161 km) Iditasport ultramarathon. Subjects (8 cyclists, 8 runners) were weighed and serum sodium was measured pre- and post-race. Race diets were analyzed to determine fluid and sodium consumption. Subjects were split by post-race serum sodium concentration into hyponatremic and normonatremic groups for statistical analyses...

Effect of Antifreeze Admixtures on Cold Weather Concrete

Kashmir is located in a region where winter temperatures are very low. During the winter months, the temperature in Kashmir is often below 0⁰ C. Generally concrete placed in colder regions with the help of insulated forms as well as heaters to protect freshly mixed concrete against freezing. These practices try to incorporate unnecessary carbon and leads to an disagreeable carbon footprint. The...

Health Impacts of Cold Weather

Attitude, Perception and Judgment changes in cope with very cold weather conditions: a qualitative study

Significant psychological changes in extremely cold regions are considered as natural human reactions. Antarctica has very cold conditions and is considered a natural laboratory for many studies in various fields. Survival, in this harsh environment, is unmanageable without human preconditions; Antarctica with a focus on resilience and psychological adjustment, an opportunity for the individual...

Very cold dust in galaxies

We present multi–filter far infrared photometry of active and inactive galaxies obtained with ISOPHOT. We find that the far infrared and submillimeter spectrum of the active galaxies can be described by a single modified black–body at a color temperature of 31.5 ± 2.8K. The ratio of infrared luminosity to gas mass, LIR/Mgas, where the latter quantity has been obtained from 1.3 mm observations w...
