Herein, we aim to show why the work on translationally (and otherwise) cold molecules has sparked so much inspiration--and anticipation--in both the physics and chemistry communities. We begin by discussing the basic features of cold molecules as implied by their de Broglie wavelengths, large compared with molecular dimensions. We juxtapose cold molecule and cold atom research and recount the c...

Subjective musculoskeletal symptoms are more frequently complained about in cold store work and in related conditions than those experienced in normal temperature work. This cross sectional study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of indoor cooling and cold storage goods on the prevalence of subjective symptoms in summer. Female workers sorting cold storage goods (exposed group) were the ma...

Abstract: In the present study the effect of thermomechanical treatment (cold work and annealing) on the transformation behavior of NiTi shape memory alloys was studied. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine transformation temperature and its relation to precipitates and defects. Three alloys including Ti-50.3at.% Ni, Ti-50.5at.% Ni (reclamated orthodontic wires) and 50.6at...

BACKGROUND Cold sensitivity is a common and disabling complaint following hand injuries. The main purpose of this study was to describe self-reported consequences of cold sensitivity and the association with disability and health-related quality of life in patients with hand injuries or hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) and in normal subjects. METHODS Responses to the Cold Intolerance Sympto...

Shot-peened nickel-base superalloys exhibit 1–2% increase in apparent eddy current conductivity (AECC), which can be exploited for nondestructive residual stress assessment. Experimental evidence indicates that the excess AECC is due in part to elastic strains, i.e., residual stress, and in part to plastic strains, i.e., cold work. The very fact that the conductivity increases rather than decre...

Strip profile control in cold rolling of thin strip is a difficult and challenge problem found in industry. Currently using the novel type of strip rolling mill, such as the work roll crossing and shifting is the one of the main methods to control the strip profile quality in cold rolling. In this paper, 3-D finite element simulation models of the thin strip profile in cold rolling for the work...

We analyze the application of optical molasses to a thermal vapor cell to make and collect cold atoms. Such an arrangement would simplify the production of cold atoms by eliminating the difficulty of first having to produce and slow an atomic beam. We present the results of our calculations, computer models, and experimental work. As a guide for future work, general results are given to illustr...
