Muon ionization cooling is the only solution to prepare high brilliance muon beams necessary for a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). A dedicated beam line generates a range of input emittances and momenta, with time-of-flight (TOF) and Cherenkov detectors to ensure a pu...

[1] Throughout February and March 1997, Okmok Volcano, in the eastern Aleutian Islands of Alaska, erupted a 6-km-long lava flow of basaltic 0a0a within its caldera. In the first part of the study a numerical model for lava flow cooling was developed by Patrick et al. and applied to the flow to better understand the nature of its cooling. In this second part of the study, the model predictions f...

Epileptic seizures in neonates cause cerebrovascular injury and impairment of cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation. In the bicuculline model of seizures in newborn pigs, we tested the hypothesis that selective head cooling prevents deleterious effects of seizures on cerebral vascular functions. Preventive or therapeutic ictal head cooling was achieved by placing two head ice packs during the pr...

Icelandic glaciers have been losing mass since the Little Ice Age in mid-to-late 1800s, with higher loss rates early 21st century, followed by a slowdown 2011. As of yet, it remains unclear whether this will persist future. By reconstructing contemporary (1958–2019) surface balance glaciers, we show that post-2011 coincides development Blue Blob, an area regional cooling North Atlantic Ocean to...

During temperature cycles, metallic alloys for high temperature applications are usually oxidized with formation of an external protective oxide scale, but they loose it during the cooling. This problem of oxide spallation can be studied by specific tests of cyclic oxidation but first indications can be provided by analyzing the cooling parts of thermogravimetry curves. This possibility was stu...

Amorphous materials such as metallic, polymeric, and colloidal glasses exhibit complex preparation-dependent mechanical response to applied shear. In particular, glassy solids yield, with a mechanical response that transitions from elastic to plastic, with increasing shear strain. We perform numerical simulations to investigate the mechanical response of binary Lennard-Jones glasses undergoing ...
