An optimization study of a multiple-row pin-vented brake disc to promote brake cooling using computational fluid dynamics [PDF]

, 2009
Brake disc cooling is an important area of research for high-performance brake disc manufacturers, users as well as academia. In high-demand braking applications, vented discs are increasingly being used as these are considered to have high heat ...

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

How to Plan Urban Parks and the Surrounding Buildings to Maximize the Cooling Effect: A Case Study in Xi’an, China

Land
Urban areas with parks tend to have the best outdoor thermal comfort in regions with high urban heat island effects during summer. This study analyzed the synergistic cooling effects of 94 urban parks and the adjacent built-up areas in six districts of ...

Identifying the Influencing Factors of Cooling Effect of Urban Blue Infrastructure Using the Geodetector Model

Remote Sensing, 2022
The urban heat island (UHI) effect has a serious negative impact on urban ecosystems and human well-being. Mitigating UHI through nature-based methods is highly recommended.

The London Urban Heat Island – upwind vegetation effects on local temperatures [PDF]

, 2012
Vegetation has the potential to cool the air in contact with it through evaporation of surface and transpirated water. This effect may have significant benefits in reducing the need for mechanical cooling of a building or increase comfort in outdoor ...

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.

Evaluate the Cooling Effect of Cooling Garments: A Review

Journal of Natural Fibers
Personal cooling garments have the advantages of being highly effective and economically practical, and are widely used in industry, medicine and aerospace. Personal cooling garments exhibit different cooling efficiencies and thermal comfort in different environments due to their different cooling medium characteristics. Air-cooling garments and liquid-

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Optimizing the landscape pattern of blue-green space is more effective than simply increasing the area for cooling effect

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
BackgroundBlue-Green Space (BGS) is critical for mitigating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect amid rapid global urbanization. However, the comparative cooling efficiency of BGS landscape configuration versus simple area expansion remains understudied ...
