vinced that a patient need never die simply from high bodily temperature. The way in which 1 have found the bath to answer best is this. A large tub, in which the patient can sit or recline, is filled with water at a temperature of 100? to 103? F. Tlie tub should be filled so that the water reaches the patient's chin. While in the bath care should be taken that cold water or ice, when it can be...

The surface hydrophobicity of nine Bacillus subtilis strains in different states (spores, vegetative cells, and dead cells) was assessed by water contact angle measurements, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon (BATH). Electrokinetic properties of B. subtilis strains were characterized by zeta potential measurements and found to differ appreciably a...

Five years after a 1983 Washington State law required new water heaters to be preset at 49 degrees C (120 degrees F), 77% of homes (84% of homes with postlaw and 70% of homes with prelaw water heaters) had tap water temperatures of less than 54 degrees C. In 1977, 80% of homes had tap water temperatures greater than 54 degrees C. Mean temperature in 1988 was 50 degrees C compared with 61 degree...

Quantum point contacts are in use as an on-chip capacitative readout for the charge state of quantum dot systems. Here we investigate experimentally the back-action of quantum point contacts (QPCs) on a nearby double quantum dot (DQD). Driving current through a QPC influences the DQD state and leads to a measurable current flow in the DQD circuit with no bias voltage applied. The responsible me...

This semester project investigates strategies aimed at controlling the aggregate power demand of large groups of domestic electric water heaters. An existing model of a single electric water heater that considers thermal stratification along the height of the hot water tank was tuned and verified using experimental data. The tuned model was then incorporated into an existing model of a water he...

Carbonic Bath: The bath is prepared by saturating normal or mineral water with carbon dioxid (CO2). The effect of the bath depends on its temperature and on the amount of CO2 in the water. The bath should be hypothermic (28°C – 34°C). The bath is more efficient at lower temperature. An active hyperemia arises in the places where the skin is in a contact with the bath. Capillaries dilate there a...

Solar desiccant cooling is widely considered as an attractive replacement for conventional vapor compression air conditioning systems because of its environmental friendliness and energy efficiency advantages. The system performance of solar desiccant cooling strongly depends on the input parameters associated with the system components, such as the solar collector, storage tank and backup heat...

In what case do you like reading so much? What about the type of the the baby and the bathwater book? The needs to read? Well, everybody has their own reason why should read some books. Mostly, it will relate to their necessity to get knowledge from the book and want to read just to get entertainment. Novels, story book, and other entertaining books become so popular this day. Besides, the scie...
