High resolution thermal images of operating micro refrigerators are presented. Using the thermoreflectance method and a high dynamic range PIN array camera, thermal images with 50mK thermal resolution and high spatial resolution are presented. This general method can be applied to any operating semiconductors, and can be used as a tool for identifying fabrication failures. With further optimiza...

In this work, we report highly uniform growth of template-assisted electrodeposited copper nanowires on a large area by lowering the deposition temperature down to subzero centigrade. Even with highly disordered commercial porous anodic aluminum oxide template and conventional potentiostatic electrodeposition, length uniformity over 95% can be achieved when the deposition temperature is lowered...

(1) The activity of the endogenously active salivary burster neurones (SBs) shows temperature acclimation and has characteristic cold and warm blockade temperatures. (2) Temperature acclimation affects the upper and lower limits of the temperature range over which SBs are active. The absolute range, in centigrade degrees, during warming, is unaffected by acclimation. (3) Acclimatization of burs...

A sphere phase liquid crystal (SPLC) composed of three-dimensional twist structures with disclinations among them exists between isotropic phase and blue phase in a very narrow temperature range, about several degrees centigrade. A low concentration polymer template is applied to improve the thermal stability of SPLCs and broadens the temperature range to more than 448 K. By template processing...

In the field of acoustic echo cancellation, it is well known that the amount of cancellation attainable in real-world systems is limited. Euphemistically this limitation has been referred to in the acoustic echo cancellation community as the “20 dB rule” [1]. This rule reflects the observation that, typically, one can obtain only about 20 to 30 dB of acoustic echo cancellation in actual physica...

The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of blood after storage for up to 24 days under various temperature conditions in ethylene diamine tetracetic acid, acid citrate dextrose, citrate phosphate dextrose, and Alsever's solution was measured using the Coulter S. Storage of blood overnight at 23 degrees centigrade increased the MCV, while there was no significant change after similar storage at 4 degr...

A raised respiratory rate is a useful sign in the diagnosis of pneumonia in children. It was observed that children with malaria and other febrile illnesses may also present with a raised respiratory rate. To determine the extent to which increased body temperature contributes to the raised respiratory rate observed in these children the effect of change in body temperature on respiratory rate ...

By analysis of the observations of the cosmic-ray ionization on the Hafelekar (2300 meters above sea level, 48 North geomagnetic lat, ) during five years the existence of a seasonal variation with an amplitude of &0.9 percent has been proved. Reduction of the monthly means to the annual mean temperature diminishes the amplitude of the 12-month wave to one-half without eliminating it. This agree...
