The characteristics of well-developed downslope winds observed by tethered balloon soundings at multiple locations over a low-angle slope in the Salt Lake Valley are studied using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). The model successfully simulated the key properties of the observed wind and temperature structure and evolution and provided insight into the forcing mechanisms. The r...

Abstract The thermal deformation of silicon-based X-ray and high-power laser optics is a strong function the beam power footprint, mirror geometry as well location “convective” management solution. Previous research carefully optimized impact these parameters arrived at “Topside cooling” design concept (smart-cut notches) that reduced slope error (sub-μrads) by 3-5 orders magnitude compared to ...

Using ray tracing for simple analytic profiles, we demonstrate that the lensing cross section for producing giant arcs has distinct contributions due to arcs formed through image distortion only, and arcs form from the merging of two or three images. We investigate the dependence of each of these contributions on halo ellipticity and on the slope of the density profile, and demonstrate that at ...

In situations where the accumulation of internal heat limits physical performance, enhanced heat extraction from the body should improve performance capacity. The combined application of local subatmospheric pressure (35-45 mmHg) to an entire hand (to increase blood volume) and a heat sink (18-22 degrees C) to the palmar surface were used to draw heat out of the circulating blood. Subjects walk...

We propose to determine the absolute magnitude of the end of the white dwarf cooling sequence in the nearest globular clusters. Cooling models of white dwarfs predict ∼ 1 mag difference between an age of 10 and 15 Gyr. The end of the disk cooling sequence is known to occur at Mbol = +17; in the nearest globular clusters, this would be at H=30-31, reachable in a 30 hour exposure. Since the faint...

The Joule–Thomson expansion is studied for Reissner–Nordström-Anti-de Sitter black holes with cloud of strings and quintessence, as well its thermodynamics. cosmological constant treated thermodynamic pressure, whose conjugate variable considered the volume. characteristics are in four main aspects case ω=−1 ω=−23, including coefficient, inversion curves, isenthalpic curves ratio between minimu...

Transdermal absorption of flurbiprofen (FP) from a cataplasm (CFP) and its antiinflammatory effect were investigated in the rat under various skin temperature conditions. As the skin temperature was raised, the plasma concentration of FP after application of the cataplasm increased significantly. It was demonstrated by a release and in vitro penetration experiment that skin penetration is the r...

Welding is a process of joining two or more metals into form connection using heat process. This study aims to determine the value bending test strength on SMAW welding E6013 electrode, variations electric current, namely 100A, 110A, 120A and cooling media. The method used with AISI 1037/ST37 material. type seam V-slope slope 600 according AWS d1.1:2000 standardization. carried out Three Point ...

The strain–temperature response of Ni–Fe–Ga single crystals underscores the role of the inter-martensitic transformation in creating intersecting heating and cooling segments; the separation of these segments occurs due to irreversibilities at high stresses and at high temperatures. An ultra-narrow tensile (1 C) and compressive (<10 C) thermal hysteresis are observed for the A 10M 14M case, acc...

We have assembled a large sample of virialized systems, comprising 66 galaxy clusters, groups and elliptical galaxies with high quality X-ray data. To each system we have fitted analytical profiles describing the gas density and temperature variation with radius, corrected for the effects of central gas cooling. We present an analysis of the scaling properties of these systems and focus in this...
