The PCM based energy storage system is commonly used for storing waste heat and solar heat. Main disadvantage of such system is slow response during charging and discharging. In the present experiment thermal conductivity of wax based storage system is improved by embedding Copper,Aluminium and iron springs. Experiments shows that such systems show superior performance during charging and disch...

Acidic thermal springs offer ideal environments for studying processes underlying extremophile microbial diversity. We used a carefully designed comparative analysis of acidic thermal springs in Yellowstone National Park to determine how abiotic factors (chemistry and temperature) shape acidophile microbial communities. Small-subunit rRNA gene sequences were PCR amplified, cloned, and sequenced...

Two important facts have drawn the attention of medical men to radio-activity. The first fact was the observation that radium rays affect the tissues of the human bod}\ For ljke Ronto-enrays they are able to cause serious injuries to&the skin. The first man who tried to utilise radium rays for medical purposes was Dr. Danlas of the St. Louis Hospital in Paris, who used them successfully to cure...

The arrangement of the centers of the molecules in the crystal is that corresponding to the diamond structure. Each molecule is surrounded tetrahedrally by four molecules. If we consider a molecule as roughly tetrahedral in shape with similar orientation to the tetrahedron formed by the four beryllium atoms, then the adjacent molecules are so oriented as to present tetrahedral faces to one anot...

Thermal springs are natural hydrogeological features which highly affected by local volcanism or tectonic activity. the best source of hydrothermal energy to heat houses and aid in recovery skin diseases. However, they consist some heavy trace metals such as arsenic, lead, zinc, copper, iron, so forth. Somehow, thermal central Bamyan have become contaminated with essential elements. Thus, this ...

Topusko is the second warmest natural thermal water spring area in Croatia, located at southwest edge of Pannonian Basin System. Due to favourable geothermal properties, these waters have been used for heating and health recreational tourism since 1980s. Thermal springs with temperatures up 50 °C are final part an intermediate-scale hydrothermal system. However, systematic research on has not c...

lies in their springs, which are usually hot and hold in solution large quantities of mineral organic and gaseous matters, to which for centuries their healing power has been ascribed. The modern view, however, tends to attribute the beneficial effects of these places to change of environment, rest, disciplined exercise, diet and habits of life, rather than to any special therapeutic power of t...

The appropriate use of minerals and other mineral resources in geomedicine can reduce both pharmacs consumption and the number of working days people miss due to health problems. The main goal of the present communication is the study of the muds/clays being used in Portugal for health treatments, outdoors in the geological sites where they naturally occur or indoors in Thalassotherapy Centres ...
