The present study shows the existence of intrinsic coastal air-sea coupled phenomenon in the coastal ocean off Baja California and California in boreal summer for the first time. It contributes significantly to the interannual sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies there. An initial decrease/increase in the equatorward alongshore surface winds weakens/strengthens the coastal upwelling and rais...

Figure 1. Ischemic ulceration and necrosis of left middle finger. DESCRIPTION A 35-year-old man presented with a 3-year history of episodic fingertip pain with associated discoloration triggered by cold exposure. His job required activities in a subzero walk-in freezer, which exacerbated pain and discoloration. The middle fingertip wound began spontaneously 3 months prior and worsened despite m...

The miniaturization boiling (micro-bubble emission boiling [MEB]) phenomenon, with a high heat removal capacity that contributes considerably to the cooling of the divertor of the nuclear fusion reactor, was discovered in the early 1980s. Extensive research on MEB has been performed since its discovery. However, the progress of the application has been delayed because the generation mechanism o...

J. Boryca, T. Wyleciał, D. Urbaniak, Częstochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland In the process of heating steel the processes of chemical interaction occur between the furnace atmosphere and the surface of the steel being heated. Great importance, in aspect of course of the oxidizing process equal as well as for phenomenon of scale adhesion on the charge surface, condition of his...
