92 Therapeutic hypothermia is the only treatment shown to mprove outcome among comatose adult survivors of cardiac rrest,1,2 and thus forms part of the standard care of these patients.3 t may improve outcome by attenuating the pathophysiological onsequences of cerebral ischaemia and reperfusion, which may hemselves result in secondary injuries.4 Intensive efforts are nderway to determine the mo...

Authentication: Hot and Cool

Seeking to shift the discussion of the concept of authenticity in tourism scholarship from the dominant concern with tourist experiences to the more sociological problem of the processes of authentication of tourist attractions, we conceptualize two analytically distinct, but practically often intersecting, modes of authentication of attractions, ‘‘cool’’ and ‘‘hot’’. Through a range of example...

1,3-Glucan: Silver Bullet or Hot Air?

-Glucans belong to a group of biologically active natural compounds called biological response modifiers. These substances represent highly conserved structural components of cell walls in yeast, fungi, grain and seaweed. The effects of -glucan on immune reactions are well established however direct comparisons of the biological activities of several individual glucans are extremely rare. As th...

Cool Companions to Hot White Dwarfs

Low-mass companions to high-mass stars are difficult to detect, which is partly why the binary fraction for high-mass stars is still poorly constrained. Low-mass companions can be detected more easily however, once high-mass stars turn into white dwarfs. These systems are also interesting as the progenitors of a variety of intensely studied interacting binary systems, like novae, CVs, symbiotic...
