Cooling Off

Off - Peak Cooling Using Phase Change Material

The electric utilities in the United States are faced with continued rapid growth in electrical demand. The traditional response to growth in demand has been the expansion of generating capacity. However , economic, environmental, and scheduling constraints will combine to make adequate expansion difficult, if not impossible, in the 1980's. This thesis examines load management as an alternative...

Cooling Off in Negotiations - Does it work?∗

In a large-scale internet experiment we investigate whether a 24-hour cooling-off period leads to fewer rejections of unfair offers in negotiations. We conduct a cash treatment and a lottery treatment, where subjects bargain over the distribution of lottery tickets for several large prizes. Unfair offers are less frequently rejected in the lottery treatment, and there coolingoff also plays a si...

Cooling off hot hearts: a specific therapy for vulnerable plaque?

A few decades ago, cardiac pathologists taught us that coronary atheroma can be either stable or vulnerable. The vulnerable plaque has the key histological features of local inflammation: a higher temperature, roughly 4 times more macrophages than stable plaques, and a thin fibrous cap only one-third as thick as stable atheroma (1–4). Because acute oronary syndromes (ACS) are caused by vulnerab...

Cooling History of Atlantis Bank Oceanic Core Complex: Evidence for Hydrothermal Activity 2.6 Ma Off Axis

Using off-resonance laser modulation for beam-energy-spread cooling in generation of short-wavelength radiation.

To improve temporal coherence in electron beam based light sources, various techniques employ frequency up conversion of external seed sources via electron beam density modulation; however, the energy spread of the beam may hinder the harmonic generation efficiency. In this Letter, a method is described for cooling the electron beam energy spread by off-resonance seed laser modulation, through ...
