Taking the frigid outer space as heat sink, a terrestrial body can cool itself to sub-ambient temperature via radiative sky cooling (RC) scheme. However, poor seasonal and regional adaptabilities low power density of RC technology confine its effective applications only in hot seasons regions with RC-friendly ambient conditions. Similarly, solar thermal collector cannot work at night is little ...

Abstract Communication is an essential element in life. It key to understanding each other, forming relationships, and sharing knowledge, information ideas. “Social media modifying the ways we communicate providing marketers with interactive means effectively reach consumers. This has given rise those digital images known as Emoji, which a trending topic that shaping our lives sculpting its way...

Abstract During glacial times, the North Atlantic region was affected by serious climate changes corresponding to Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles that were linked dramatic shifts in sea temperature and moisture transfer continents. However, considerable efforts are still needed understand effects of these on terrestrial environments. In this context, Iberian Peninsula is particularly interesting beca...

Daytime radiative cooling has attracted considerable attention recently due to its tremendous potential for passively exploiting the coldness of universe as clean and renewable energy. Many advanced materials with novel photonic micro/nanostructures have already been developed enable highly efficient daytime coolers, among which flexible hierarchical porous coatings (HPCs) are a more distinguis...

The effect of two novel hydrocolloids known as Balangu seed gum (BSG) and palmate-tuber salep (PTS) with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on the rheological characteristics of a typical soft ice cream was studied. The power law model well described the flow behavior of mixes with a high correlation coefficient (r). The flow behavior index was in the range of 0.450-1.154, while the consistency coeff...

Chills are amuscular phenomenon best described as the sensation of coldness created by a rhythmic oscillating tremor of skeletal muscles. In humans, chills are sometimes associated with a positive hedonic process. In the present article, we shall refer to such an event as aesthetic chills. Aesthetic chills appear to be a universal emotional experience (see e.g., McCrae, 2007). In laboratory, th...

Leo Kanner,I although not the first to describe this serious and intriguing developmental disorder of early childhood,2 so precisely captured its essential features that the clinical account of his first 11 cases has never been bettered. The salient characteristics he mentioned were an 'extreme autistic aloneness' from the beginning of life, delay and abnormality in language acquisition with ec...

A 68 year old with lower extremity numbness, vibratory sensation loss, coldness and burning of his feet, unsteady gait, frequent falls and a sensory level had an MRI demonstrating a T7 and T8 vertebral body/posterior element lesion with epidural extension, cord compression and foraminal extension (Figures 1-5). Decompressive laminectomy/resection confirmed vertebral hemangioma, a common benign ...

consistently shown the benefits of cool dialysis in the prevention of IDH. Certainly, prescription of isothermic treatments controlled by the blood temperature feedback module (BTM) is not only appealing from a theoretical point of view, but was also found to be efficacious for the prevention of IDH in the randomized crossover trial by Maggiore et al. [8]. However, a practical drawback for the ...

Common and applicable diagnostic methods are available for brucellosis. However, its life-threatening complications remain critical. Herein we present a 68-year-old patient who complained of leg pain for two months. At admission he had absent pulse in the left femoral and bilateral popliteal arteries. Laboratory test results were leucocytes 8700/mm3, CRP 86 mg/L, and ESR 47 mm/h. Abdominal CT r...
