We investigate the effects of compressibility andwall cooling on the stationary, viscous (Type II) instability mode within the 3D boundary layer over rotating cones with half-angle greater than 40◦. The stationary mode is characterised by zero shear stress at the wall and a triple-deck solution is presented in the isothermal case. Asymptotic solutions are obtained which describe the structure o...

The origin of the local population of young, cooling neutron stars is investigated with a population synthesis model taking into account the contribution of neutron stars born in the Gould Belt, in addition to those originating in the Galactic disk. We estimate their emission in the soft X-ray band as a function of distance and age and construct the Log N – Log S distribution. It is shown that ...

The lateral saphenous vein of the dog was perfused with homologous blood at constant flow. Changes in driving pressure were used to measure active changes in venous tone. Administration of tranylcypromine greatly reduced the activity of monoamine oxidase in the vein and increased its response to electric stimulation of the lumbar sympathetic chain and to norepinephrine infusions. Administration...

In this study, segmentation of medical images using a fuzzy artificial bee colony algorithm with a cooling schedule is created. In this study, we embed ed fuzzy inference strategy into the artificial bee colony system to construct a segmentation system named Fuzzy Artificial Bee Colony System (FABCS). A conventional FCM algorithm did not utilize the spatial information in the image. We set a lo...

We are all familiar with the fact that cities are generally warmer than the surrounding, more rural areas. We see it referenced most nights in our television weather reports. It is especially significant on nights with clear skies and light winds which favor radiational cooling. This is most significant in the rural areas but in the city, the excess heat absorbed during the day and the local he...

We discuss a set of tests which confront observations of cooling compact objects and theories of their thermal evolution. As an example we apply the recently developed LogNLog S test of compact star cooling theories to hybrid stars with a color superconducting quark matter core, we also apply and discuss other existing tests. While there is not yet a microscopically founded superconducting quar...

Let L(t) be a Lévy flights process with a stability index α ∈ (0, 2), and U be an external multiwell potential. A jump-diffusion Z satisfying a stochastic differential equation dZ(t) = −U ′(Z(t−))dt+ σ(t)dL(t) describes an evolution of a Lévy particle of an ‘instant temperature’ σ(t) in an external force field. The temperature is supposed to decrease polynomially fast, i.e. σ(t) ≈ t for some θ ...

The southeastern tropical Indian Ocean (SETIO) was characterized by unusually cold sea surface temperature (SST) and strong northwestward alongshore surface winds during 1994. Using multi-source data sets including ocean model simulation, two key processes are identified for the SETIO cooling. Entrainment cooling produced most of the negative SST anomaly near the coast whereas evaporative cooli...

Cryotherapy involves the surface application of low temperatures to enhance the healing of soft tissue injuries. Typical devices embody a remote source of chilled water that is pumped through a circulation bladder placed on the treatment site. In contrast, the present device uses thermoelectric refrigeration modules to bring the cooling source directly to the tissue to be treated, thereby achie...
