We deliver the first analysis of the 2021 cold spell in Texas which combines temperature dependent load estimates with temperature dependent estimates of power plant outages to understand the frequency of loss of load events, using a 71 year long tim...
A vast amount of Raman spectroscopic data, obtained using diamond anvil cell technique under in situ high pressure-temperature conditions, has been used for mapping the phase transitions of hydrogen in the temperature range of 300 K to 900 K and pres...
We have measured the electrical resistivity ($ρ$) and the thermoelectric power (TEP) of the perchlorate (ClO4^-) doped stretch oriented polyacetylene (PA) film. For the highly conducting samples ($σ_{RT} > 41000 S/cm$), the temperature dependence...
The scintillation light output of a pure and a Thallium doped Sodium Iodide (NaI) crystal under irradiation with 5.486MeV α-particles has been measured over a temperature range from 1.7K to 300K. Estimates of the decay time constant at three selecte...
InN phase is grown in crystalline InP(100) substrates by 50 keV N+ implantation at an elevated temperature of 400 deg C followed by annealing at 525 deg C in N2 ambient. Crystallographic structural and Raman scattering studies are performed for the...
An atomic level micromagnetic model of granular recording media is developed and applied to examine external field-induced grain switching at elevated temperatures which captures non-uniform reversal modes. The results are compared with traditional m...
Infrared absorption cross sections near 3.3 $μ$m have been obtained for ethane, C$_{2}$H$_{6}$. These were acquired at elevated temperatures (up to 773 K) using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and tube furnace with a resolution of 0.005 cm...
In particular, without the greenhouse effect, essential features of the atmospheric temperature profile as a function of height cannot be described, i.e., the existence of the tropopause above which we see an almost isothermal temperature curve, wh...
We employ a new Infrared Flux Method (IRFM) temperature scale (Ramirez & Melendez 2005, ApJ 626, 446; ApJ 626, 465) in order to determine Li, O, and Fe NLTE abundances in a sample of relatively unevolved (dwarfs, turn-off, subgiants) metal-poor sta...
this would utilize a thermostat to monitor the building temperature, and feed back a signal to ensure the controller output maintains the building temperature
We analyze temperature and thermometry for simple nonequilibrium heat-conducting models. We show in detail, for both two- and three-dimensional systems, that the ideal gas thermometer corresponds to the concept of a local instantaneous mechanical k...
We revisit a two-temperature Nosé-Hoover wanderer particle embedded in a two-dimensional periodic 2x2 cell with four smooth repulsive corners at $(x,y) = (\pm 1, \pm 1)$ to explore chaos with anisotropic thermostatting. The model employs separate th...
Jul 31, 2024 · November escorts in the cooler late-autumn weather in Seattle, with a noticeable decrease in temperatures. It marks the transition from fall to winter, with cooler temperatures and a …
We investigate convection in a thin cylindrical gas layer with an imposed flux at the bottom and a fixed temperature along the side, using a combination of direct numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. The experimental approach allows us t...
Please share: Due to an extreme weather alert for temperatures that feel at or below 0 C, additional shelter spaces will be open from tonight, February 24, through February 26 ⬇️ Translations: ?...
Understanding surface temperature is important for habitability. Recent work on Mars has found that the dependence of surface temperature on elevation (surface lapse rate) converges to zero in the limit of a thin CO2 atmosphere. However, the mechanis...
Sputtered Nb thin-film LC resonators for low frequencies at 0.5 MHz have been fabricated and tested in the temperature range 0.05--1 K in magnetic fields up to 30 mT. Their Q value increases towards decreasing temperature as sqrt(T) and reaches 10^...
