Hypothermia and postoperative shivering are uncomfortable and may be dangerous. This study demonstrates that postoperative shivering may be controlled quickly and effectively with radiant heat, thereby reducing oxygen consumption and increasing thermal comfort.

A forced convection gas-fired oven has been designed which will sterilize a very heavy load of syringes and instruments and containers. It is superior to a gas-fired, infrared, radiant-heated oven which was designed for sterilizing syringes.

Conventional single-layer cloud assumptions lead to erroneous results in satellite retrieved cloud properties for multilayered multiphase cloud systems. The Cloud and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project strives to develop an exploratory multilayer cloud data product using the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. The new MODIS multilayer cloud products will be av...

Current-voltage ( I V ) characteristics of linear and annular discrete arrays of underdamped small Josephson junctions with different values of single loop inductances are calculated numerically and compared with those obtained for continuum long Josephson junctions. The resonances between the moving fluxon and the linear waves caused by the array discreteness induce steps on t h e / V c u r v ...

Building operators and grid operators often find themselves at odds with one another. A building operator’s goal is to create a comfortable environment for the occupants and to minimize occupant complaints of thermal discomfort. In order to do so, air conditioning systems are often run at their maximum capacity during the warmest part of the day to maintain a cool environment inside the space w...

T H E aim of histoand cytochemical studies is to identify and eventually to quantitate substances on a microscopic level. This necessitates isolating extremely small areas for analysis, preferably in the intact biological tissue. Physical methods have proven to be of value in this respect, in particular the radiant energy micro-absorption techniques (Fitzgerald & Engstrom, 1952). The field of h...

We present the first satellite-detected perturbations of the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) associated with blowing snow events over the Antarctic ice sheet using data from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization and Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System. Significant cloud-free OLR differences are observed between the clear and blowing snow sky, with the sign andmagnitude dep...

Soldiers should always keep their physical condition in good order. Cardiorespiratory endurance, abdominal muscle strength and arm are important aspects that support soldier performance. endurance is to ensure soldiers can work according the targeted duration. Good supports minimize back pain. often had carry heavy loads backpacks be carried a certain distance also confirmed undergo shooting dr...
