Numerical Analysis of the Influence of Frost Layers on the Heat Transfer Characteristics of Cryogenic Valves for Polar LNG Ships by Shengpeng Li, Baolong Lin, Xu Bai, Pengyu Wei, Lian Wang, Ruonan Zhang

“…The results show that, in the initial stage of frost formation, the frost layer acts similarly to a finned heat sink, enhancing the thermal exchange efficiency at the surface of the drip tray, which results in a temperature increase in the drip tray and stuffing box compared to the frost-free condition. However, as the frost layer grows on the surface of the drip tray, the surface heat transfer resistance increases, gradually diminishing the enhancing effect of the frost layer on the heat dissipation of the drip tray. …”

Aerosol Monitoring over Athens Using Satellite and Ground-Based Measurements by D. G. Kaskaoutis, N. Sifakis, A. Retalis, H. D. Kambezidis

“…The results suggest that, at least for the case of Athens, AOD retrieved by MERIS images using the DTA code over cloud-free areas can be related to PM10. The accuracy of retrieval mainly depends on the successful selection of the reference satellite data, namely, an image being least contaminated by tropospheric aerosols.…”

Efficacy of the Fumigant Ethanedinitrile to Control the Ham Mite, <i>Tyrophagus putrescentiae</i> (Schrank) (Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae), and Its Sorption on Dry-Cured Ham by Jacqueline M. Maille, Wes Schilling, Thomas W. Phillips

“…<i>Tyrophagus putrescentiae</i> mixed life-stage colonies were controlled at 1.3 mg/L, and less than 0.05% of the population survived following treatment with 0.6 mg/L within 24 h at 25 °C. The free-headspace concentrations of EDN in fumigation chambers containing ham decreased by 97% of the initial concentrations applied (2.6 and 4.8 mg/L) after the 24 h fumigation period. …”
