One of the most promising applications of hot water is aquaculture. Temperature is one of the most principle parameters affects aquaculture life. It can cause stress and mortality or superior environment for growth and reproduction. Shrimp is warm water aquaculture type need hot water supply. To increase pond production it is necessary to keep water temperature at 34C. Artificial intelligence (...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The use of cold water during toothbrushing can cause dentine sensitivity and, to avoid this painful stimulus, some patients used to rinse their mouths with warm water when brushing. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of water temperature on the dental root surface during toothbrushing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fragments of bovine dental roots were submi...

BACKGROUND Legionella species may colonize in home water systems and cause Legionnaires' disease (LD). We herein report two cases of sporadic LD associated with the solar energy-heated hot water systems of the patients' houses. CASE REPORT A 60-year-old woman with chronic bronchitis and diabetes mellitus presented with a high fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Physical examination revealed ...

Samples obtained from plumbing systems of hospitals, nonhospital institutions and homes were cultured for Legionella spp. by plating the samples directly on a selective medium. Swab samples were taken from the inner surfaces of faucet assemblies (aerators, spouts, and valve seats), showerheads, and shower pipes. Water and sediment were collected from the bottom of hot-water tanks. Legionella pn...

Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 causes Legionnaires' disease. Water systems contaminated with Legionella are the implicated sources of Legionnaires' disease. This study analyzed L. pneumophila serogroup 1 strains in China using sequence-based typing. Strains were isolated from cooling towers (n = 96), hot springs (n = 42), and potable water systems (n = 26). Isolates from cooling towers, hot...

Polysaccharides from many sources, catching more and more attention because of their multiple pharmacological activities [1-4], can be extracted by hot water, alkali, and enzyme and so on. In traditional viewpoint, polysaccharides are soluble in water for their hydroxyl and the solubility is the base of its bioactivities while insoluble polysaccharides have low or no bioactivities. The predomin...

INTRODUCTION This study compared simulated temperature distributions of intraluminal heating devices, concerning penetration and homogeneity. A hot water balloon, a 434-MHz monopole and a 915-MHz dipole antenna, both with incorporated cooling, and a 27-MHz applicator were investigated. METHODS The hot water balloon had an inlet temperature of 45 degrees C and a flow rate of 7.85 ml s(-1). The...

An increased number of intermittent renewables poses a threat to the system balance. As a result, new tools and concepts, like advanced demand-side management and smart grid technologies, are required for the demand to meet supply. There is a need for higher consumer awareness and automatic response to a shortage or surplus of electricity. The distributed water heater can be considered as one o...

Jakrem hot water spring is located in the West Khasi Hill District of the state of Meghalaya, and is one of the most popular hot springs of the state. There is a populist belief among the inhabitants and people that the hot spring water has got curative properties against various skin ailments. This is the first report on V3 hyper-variable region of 16S rDNA metagenome sequence employing Illumi...

The effect of hot water on aspen chips has been evaluated using time-domain low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. At moisture contents above fiber saturation point, treated chips exhibit relaxation times of free water longer than for the control. This is consistent with the removal of hemicelluloses given the hydrophilicity of these polysaccharides. The rate of decrease in fr...
