Bath and Her Thermal Waters

چکیده
The literature of English spas has hitherto been meagre in the extreme; but Bath has recently done its best to make up for the deficiency. Book after book has emanated from that city, each in its turn giving an account of the history of the city and its baths, its climate, and the advantages to the invalid from a residence within it. This, the latest of the series, differs from its predecessors, inasmuch as it endeavours to sift what the author believes to be the chaff from the wheat, " its object being to endeavour to define, categorically, the real therapeutic value of the Waters." This endeavour to " place medical treatment by the Bath Waters on a rational

Legionella pneumophilla bacteria in thermal saline bath.
OBJECTIVE The study was aimed at determining whether Legionella pneumophila bacteria can be found in thermal saline waters used in balneotherapy. METHODS Water samples were collected from three thermal saline baths, supplied by thermal saline waters (type Cl - Na). The total number of bacteria was determined in the direct microscopic count under a fluorescence microscope The numbers of bacter...
متن کاملInvestigation of the exposure to radon and progeny in the thermal spas of Loutraki (Attica-Greece): results from measurements and modelling.
Radon and progeny ((218)Po, (214)Pb, (214)Bi and (214)Po) in thermal spas are well known radioactive pollutants identified for additional radiation burden of patients due to the activity concentration peaks which appear during bath treatment or due to drinking of waters of high radon content. This burden affects additionally the working personnel of the spas. The present paper has focused on th...
متن کاملInfluence of Tube Arrangement on the Thermal Performance of Indirect Water Bath Heaters
Natural convection heat transfer from a tube bundle in the indirect water bath heaters is investigated. A computer-code is used for the solution of the governing equations of mass, momentum and energy transfer based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm. Simulations are carried out for the gas pressure station heater of Kermanshah city with various tube bundle arrangements. In order to validate the numeric...
متن کاملThermal effect and role of entanglement and coherence on excitation transfer in a spin chain
We analyze the role of bath temperature, coherence and entanglement on excitation transfer in a spin chain induced by the environment. In Markovian regime, we show that coherence and entanglement are very sensitive to bath temperature and vanish in time in contrary to the case of having zero-temperature bath. That is while, finding the last qubit of the chain in excited state increases by incre...
متن کاملSonication Effects on Stability and Thermal Properties of Silica- Paraflu Based Nanofluids
Cooling is one of the most important challenges in industries, especially in the automotive industry. The coolant which is used in engine radiators possesses lower thermal conductivity. To enhance the thermal properties, coolant was dispersed in nano-sized particles and the fluid is called as Nanofluid. In this Study, Silica Nanoparticle was dispersed in Paraflu Engine coolant usin...
