Cluster end-users and administrators have become more cognizant of the fact that large-scale commodity clusters fail quite frequently, and the main source of these failures is hardware (e.g., processors) with the primary cause being heat. This situation is expected to worsen with even larger-scale clusters powered by faster (and/or multicore) processors. In this paper, we propose a power-manage...

The microwave oven is a kitchen appliance that has become increasingly popular in recent years. In some instances the temperature in the microwave oven can become exceedingly high. A case is discussed of a patient with respiratory distress after inhalation of gas from an overheated microwave oven.

Temperature is one of the most important factors affecting the life of insects [1]. For instance, high temperatures can have deleterious effects on insects' physiology. Therefore, many of them have developed various strategies to avoid the risk of thermal stress [2]. They can seek a fresher environment or adjust their water loss, but hematophagous insects, such as mosquitoes, must confront the ...

The paper discusses the complex effect of melt overheating with subsequent fast cooling down to pouring temperature on crystallization process, microstructure and mechanical properties Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy. results obtained facilitated establishment rational modes overheating, leading a significant change in dispersion morphology structural components. In particular, an increase 900 °C holdi...

Abstract Solar water heating systems have been widely used around the world. However, exposure to sunlight can overheat device, affecting efficiency and durability of system. This article proposes an adaptive deck controller that protects system from overheating without compromising availability domestic hot water. heaters are considered one most effective ways reduce a home’s carbon footprint....

This Future weather dataset is used for assessing the risk of overheating and thermal discomfort or heat stress in the free running buildings. The weather files are in the format of .epw which can be used in the building simulation packages such as EnergyPlus, DesignBuilder, IES, etc.

A solar concentration system formed by two holographic cylindrical lenses is proposed. It redirects part of the incident solar spectrum towards a PV cell, concentrating only the cell’s most efficient wavelength range, while the rest is transmitted, not causing overheating. Simulations with oneand two-axes tracking are carried out.

Wieszała, The Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Transport, Katowice, Poland The paper presents microstructure tests of alloy AlSi17Cu5. In order to disintegrate the primary grain of silicon the so-called time-temperature transformation TTT was applied which was based...
