Efficient Poisson’s Ratio Evaluation of Weft-Knitted Auxetic Metamaterials

Textiles, 2023
Auxetic metamaterials expand transversely when stretched longitudinally or contract transversely when compressed, resulting in a negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR).

SYMPATHETIC COOLING OF LITHIUM BY LASER-COOLED CESIUM [PDF]

Laser Spectroscopy, 2002
We present first indications of sympathetic cooling between two neutral, optically trapped atomic species. Lithium and cesium atoms are simultaneously stored in an optical dipole trap formed by the focus of a CO$_2$ laser, and allowed to interact for a given period of time. The temperature of the lithium gas is found to decrease when in thermal contact

Pre-cooling for endurance exercise performance in the heat: a systematic review [PDF]

, 2012
Background Endurance exercise capacity diminishes under hot environmental conditions. Time to exhaustion can be increased by lowering body temperature prior to exercise (pre-cooling).

Optimisation of Continuous and Pulsed Cooling in Injection Moulding Processes

, 2007
The concept of pulsed cooling in injection moulding involves cycling the flow of coolant in order that cooling only takes place as and when it is required, as opposed to continuous cooling, where the coolant in run through the channels throughout the ...
