Abstract: The first practical light microscopes were invented and applied for laboratory studies of micro-organisms in the 1660’s by van Leeuwenhoek and Hooke 1. The microscope was immediately successful ...

Abstract: The current multi-layer insulation used in the extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) will not be effective in the atmosphere of Mars due to the presence of interstitial gases. Alternative thermal ...

Abstract: The healing effect of therapeutic hyperthermia induced by widely available heat wrap products is understood to be based on concomitant temperature dependent vasodilation and increase in mass ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the kinetics of HSP70 expression in response to mild thermal stress. The rationale is to produce a basis for design of optimal heating methods to ...

Abstract: The Wissler human thermoregulation model was augmented to incorporate simulation of a space suit thermal control system that includes interaction with a liquid cooled garment (LCG) and ventilation ...

Abstract: Background: Experimental data and a complementary biophysical model are presented to describe the dynamic response of a unicellular microalga to osmotic processes encountered during cryopreservation. ...

Abstract: Thermal preconditioning protocols for cardiac cells were identified which produce elevated HSP70 levels while maintaining high cell viability. Bovine aortic endothelial cells were heated with a ...
