Introduction : There are different applications for cooling in rehabilitation and there is also a controversy in results of applying ice on limb and its effects on motorneurons excitability. Methods : This study was done to determine the effect of applying controlled cooling (rubbing cold ointment with 3°C temperature) on the spinal skin (around T place of S root nerve) on the excitabili...

We examine the speed of inward traveling cooling fronts in accretion disks. We show that their speed is determined by the rarefaction wave that precedes them and is approximately αF cF (H/r) , where αF is the dimensionless viscosity, cF is the sound speed, r is the radial coordinate, H is the disk thickness, and all quantities are evaluated at the cooling front. The scaling exponent q lies in t...

[1] We introduce a new method that convolves detrital mineral cooling ages with digital elevation models to test numerical models of erosion in collisional orogens. Along a Trans-Himalayan transect in central Nepal, we develop a kinematic and thermal model to predict variations in bedrock cooling ages in modern Himalayan topography. The model assumes a thermal steady state and utilizes a simple...

AIM To evaluate peripheral oxygen consumption (VO(2)) measurements using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with arterial occlusion in healthy term neonates by studying the effect of limb cooling on peripheral and global VO(2). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty two healthy term neonates were studied. Peripheral VO(2) was measured by NIRS using arterial occlusion and measurement of the oxyhaemoglobin...

1. Introduction The rather limited Neogene-Quaternary olivine basaltic lava flows are outcropped in the Dehaj-Javazm area, north of Share-Babak, in the NW of Dehaj-Sarduieh magmatic belt as a part of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic assemblage (UDMA). The rocks contain significant amounts of plagioclase both as phenocrysts and microliths in the microlithic groundmass which play an important role i...

Within the standard internal shock scenario, synchrotron emission would produce a spectrum with slope Fν ∝ ν −1/2, as immediate consequence of the cooling timescale being shorter than the integration time. This is in disagreement with the harder observed spectra, indicating that a different mechanism is responsible for the burst emission. Furthermore in this scenario pair production is expected...

We examined the temperature sensitivity of graded chemical synaptic strength within the pyloric circuit of the spiny lobster stomatogastric ganglion. Cooling from 20.4 degrees C to 11.3 degrees C reduced the graded synaptic potential (GSP) amplitude at all six pyloric synapses tested. Cooling appeared to reduce the slope of the linear part of the input-output curve at three of these synapses, a...
