Selective brain cooling reduces water turnover in dehydrated sheep. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In artiodactyls, arterial blood destined for the brain can be cooled through counter-current heat exchange within the cavernous sinus via a process called selective brain cooling.

Future Scenarios for Heating and Cooling Degree Days in Finland

Ilmastokatsaus
The ongoing climate change will lead to decreases in heating energy demand during the cold season but, on the other hand, to an increasing demand for cooling energy in summer. Projected changes vary depending on the climate change scenario but also regionally in Finland.

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Trends in Cooling Degree Days for Building Energy Estimation in Latvia

Construction Science, 2013
Calculation of cooling degree days (CDDs) and hours (CDHs) is one of the simplest methods to describe the effect of outside air temperature on building cooling energy consumption. Calculations of CDD numbers and analysis of trends were performed using 10-year data of outdoor temperature, measured at the meteorological station in Riga (Latvia).

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Local sensitivity analysis of heating degree day and cooling degree day temperature derivative prices

Quantitative Finance
We study the local sensitivity of heating degree day (HDD) and cooling degree day (CDD) temperature futures and option prices with respect to perturbations in the deseasonalized temperature or in one of its derivatives up to a certain order determined by the continuous-time autoregressive process modelling the deseasonalized temperature in the HDD and ...

Implantable Ionic Memristors Based on Natural Polymer Heterojunctions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We report an implantable natural polymer‐based ionic memristor composed of hyaluronic acid, chitosan, and PDMS. The device achieved 98.94% accuracy in MNIST classification while reducing training time by 36.8% compared with a conventional artificial neural network (ANN).
