Silica glass has been shown in numerous studies to possess significant capacity for permanent densification under pressure at different temperatures to form high density amorphous (HDA) silica. However, it is unknown to what extent the processes leading to irreversible densification of silica glass in cold-compression at room temperature and in hot-compression (e.g., near glass transition tempe...

Amid the information era, energy consumption of IDC Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) system is becoming increasingly serious. Thus there is growing concern over energy saving and consumption reduction. Based on the analysis of the energy saving application of the air conditioning system in the present computer room, a new energy saving method of the IDC CRAC system, which presents energy s...

In this article, the fracture behavior of different AlSi coating micro-structures is investigated. By changing heating temperature, are obtained, due to varying diffusivity iron. To study micro-structures, uniaxial tensile tests conducted at 700 °C. The hot test involves as-coated press hardening steel in a furnace temperatures 750, 920 and 1000 °C for 6 minutes dwell time, after which sample c...

OBJECTIVE The current study was undertaken to describe patterns of kitchen burns and scalds to young children to understand better why such injuries continue to occur despite intervention efforts. METHODS Emergency department-treated thermal burns and scalds associated with nonelectric cookware were examined from a national sample, collected by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's inju...

Fibronectin type III domain-containing 5 (FNDC5) is a skeletal muscle membrane-bound precursor to the myokine irisin. Irisin is involved in stimulating adipose tissue to become more metabolically active in order to produce heat. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exercise in a hot (33 °C), cold (7 °C), and room temperature (RT, 20 °C) environment on the skeletal muscle ge...

Companies that generate a large amount of wood ash will need an industrial process to agglomerate the ash and lower its reactivity, because untreated ash is a dust hazard for workers and is difficult to spread evenly on forest soil. In addition, untreated ash can cause burning damage to vegetation owing to its alkalinity and rapid release of salts. Production of large amounts of wood ash agglom...

Recent discussions of observational constraints on the standard hot big bang model are reviewed and it is argued that now there is room for considering alternative cosmologies. The quasi-steady state cosmology is brieey described. This model seems to explain most of the observed features of the universe, including the m-z relation, radio source count, the light nuclear abundances and the microw...

Vertical hot electron transistors incorporating atomically-thin 2D materials, such as graphene or MoS2, in the base region have been proposed and demonstrated in the development of electronic and optoelectronic applications. To the best of our knowledge, all previous 2D material-base hot electron transistors only considered applying a positive collector-base potential (VCB > 0) as is necessary ...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of three different packing methods including modified atmosphere, vacuum and common packaging on chemical, microbial and sensorial quality and shelf life of hot smoked Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during storage at refrigerated temperature. For hot smoking, rainbow trout were gutted and cut in butterfly form and washed. Fish gutted br...

The purpose of this study was to determine mitochondrial biogenesis-related mRNA expression, binding of transcription factors to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α) promoter, and subcellular location of PGC-1α protein in human skeletal muscle following exercise in a hot environment compared with a room temperature environment. Recreationally trained males (...
