Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract We investigate the impact of convection on the thermal structure of the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL). We use temperature profiles measured by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) onboard the Aqua satellite, and the time evolution of local convection...

The local cooling of parietal, frontal or motor cortical areas; in cats under Nembutal anesthesia changed evoked potentials (EPs) in pulvinar, lateral posterior and medial dorsal thalamic nuclei. Parietal cortex, cooling led to rapid and significant changes of visual EP and delayed but strong changes of somatic EP in the pulvinar-lateral posterior complex. In contrast, frontal cortex cooling le...

In this paper, we report careful transport and magnetic measurements on single crystals of deuterated k-~ET!2Cu@N~CN!2!#Br. By cooling the sample at different rates, it is found that cooling through 80 K has a dramatic effect on the normal state metal-insulator transition and the superconducting transition temperatures. In-plane resistivity depends strongly on the cooling rate for temperatures ...

BACKGROUND Perineal trauma is common during childbirth and may be painful. Contemporary maternity practice includes offering women numerous forms of pain relief, including the local application of cooling treatments. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of localised cooling treatments compared with no treatment, other forms of cooling treatments and non-cooling treatments...

We developed a new technique of "ice mapping" to localize the site of termination of ventricular tachycardia in dogs 4 to 8 days after the onset of myocardial infarction. During programmed stimulation-induced ventricular tachycardia, the epicardium was mapped by moving an ice probe with a 1 cm tip over the infarct, lateral border, and normal areas. In 31 of 46 morphologically distinct sustained...

We use the algorithm of Cole et al. (2000) to generate merger trees for the first star clusters in a ΛCDM cosmology under an isotropic UV background radiation field, parametrized by J21. We have investigated the problem in two ways: a global radiation background and local radiative feedback surrounding the first star clusters. Cooling in the first halos at high redshift is dominated by molecula...

In this paper, we describe an experimental study of the phenomenon of spray cooling in the case of liquid helium, either normal or superfluid, and its relationship to the heat transfer between an atomized diphasic flow contained in a long pipe, and the pipe walls. This situation is discussed in the context of the cooling of the superconducting magnets of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Experim...

Sir, In their experimental study on mice, Binda and Koninckx found that lowering the body temperature decreased adhesion formation after laparoscopic surgery (Binda and Koninckx, 2009). Accordingly, they identified perioperative cooling as a possible method to be used in combination with other measures to prevent the formation of adhesions. Although this idea seems experimentally interesting, w...

SATINOFF, EVELYN. Behavioral thermoregulation in response to local cooling of the rat brain. Am. J. Physiol. 206(6) : I 389-1394. 1 g64.-Local cooling of the anterior hypothalamic-preoptic area in rats, at environmental temperatures of 5 and 24 C, caused their rectal temperatures to increase as much as 3. I C, as well as vigorous shivering. When the animals were allowed to press a bar to turn o...
