Vehicles testing at low ambient temperatures

Aversive quality of low velocity winds at various ambient temperatures.

Silicon Bulk Mobility at High Ambient Temperatures

One of the goals of the PARASITICS project was the evaluation of decisive physical models in the high temperature range (300 K – 700 K) by comparison between simulation and electrical measurements of suitable test structures. Various van der Pauw devices were examined to test the microscopic-based mobility model of Schenk [1]. In order to make the comparison complete, calculated Hall factors as...

Heat stress from enclosed vehicles: moderate ambient temperatures cause significant temperature rise in enclosed vehicles.

OBJECTIVE Each year, children die from heat stroke after being left unattended in motor vehicles. In 2003, the total was 42, up from a national average of 29 for the past 5 years. Previous studies found that on days when ambient temperatures exceeded 86 degrees F, the internal temperatures of the vehicle quickly reached 134 to 154 degrees F. We were interested to know whether similarly high tem...

Low specificity of HIV-testing on sputum specimens kept at ambient temperatures for 4 to 7 days: a blinded comparison

BACKGROUND HIV testing on sputum using the QraQuick HIV1/2(R) assay has high sensitivity and specificity, and holds promise for application in tuberculosis surveys. Its performance under conditions that may occur during surveys in resource-poor countries is however, unknown. We assessed, in a blinded comparison with HIV serum testing, the sensitivity and specificity of the OraQuick(R) assay for...

Sample environment at low temperatures

2014 A review of low temperature techniques as applied to neutron scattering studies is presented. Methods of temperature measurements especially carbon thermometry are discussed. Problems of heat transfer are treated in detail for different kind of samples and some solutions are proposed. Revue Phys. Appl. 19 (1984) 677-683 SEPTEMBRE 1984, The number of neutron scattering studies at temperatur...
