Data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that improper cooling practices contributed to more than 500 foodborne illness outbreaks associated with restaurants or delis in the United States between 1998 and 2008. CDC's Environmental Health Specialists Network (EHS-Net) personnel collected data in approximately 50 randomly selected restaurants in nine EHS-Net sit...

Aero gas turbine engines have been using mainly film cooling and convection cooling techniques. For operating at high gas temperature amongst different cooling options the transpiration cooling technique has emerged as the most promising technique to improve the gas turbine cycle performance by allowing higher turbine inlet temperatures. This paper investigates the advantages of transpiration c...

The Recycler ring was added to the Main Injector (MI) project in 1997 as means to recover the antiprotons remaining at the end of Tevatron stores and to serve as a second stage accumulator to raise the maximum stack current. This report describes an electron cooling system with substantially higher stack capacity than the Recycler stochastic cooling system which could be brought into operation ...

We present the results from a detailed ASCA/ROSATX-ray study of three distant, massive cooling flows; Zwicky 3146 (z = 0.291), Abell 1835 (z = 0.252) and E1455+223 (Zwicky 7160; z = 0.258). Using multiphase models fitted to the ASCA spectra, we determine values for the temperature, metallicity, luminosity and cooling rates in the clusters. These results are combined with deprojection analyses o...

In recent times, there has been a rise in popularity of comfort cooling systems, mainly based on electrically driven heat pumps. The accompanying peak loading on electricity grids is proving to be particularly problematic and expensive for electricity utilities, notwithstanding the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the electricity consumption of these het pumps. An alternative is to gene...

Exercise-induced increases in core body temperature could negative impact performance and may lead to development of heat-related illnesses. The use of cooling techniques prior (pre-cooling), during (per-cooling) or directly after (post-cooling) exercise may limit the increase in core body temperature and therefore improve exercise performance. The aim of the present review is to provide a comp...

This pathway describes the development of a Continuous Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator (CADR) within NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC, or Goddard) cryogenics and fluids branch. After more than a decade of concerted development efforts, the team is still awaiting a mission opportunity on which to fly the full system. Like the traditional ADR, the CADR will maintain spacecraft in...

We demonstrate a robust and versatile solution for locking the continuous-wave dye laser for applications in laser cooling of molecules which need linewidth-narrowed and frequency-stabilized lasers. The dye laser is first stabilized with respect to a reference cavity by Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) technique which results in a single frequency with the linewidth 200 kHz and short-term stabilization,...

I study non-radiative cooling of X-ray emitting gas via heat conduction along magnetic field lines inside magnetic flux loops in cooling flow clusters of galaxies. I find that such heat conduction can reduce the fraction of energy radiated in the X-ray band by a factor of ∼ 1.5− 2. This non-radiative cooling joins two other proposed non-radiative cooling processes, which can be more efficient. ...

OBJECTIVE Hypothermia has been shown to reduce neurologic deficits in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It was not clear if intravascular cooling is superior to standard external cooling in inducing hypothermia. Goal of this study was to compare intravascular cooling with an automated cooling device with external cooling in everyday practice on a cardiac-care ICU (intensive ca...
