Divergent thinking in groups during cold-water immersion is impaired by cold stress not the cold shock response by Max Kailler Smith, Max Kailler Smith, Rebecca Weller, Rebecca Weller, Tony Duong, Tony Duong, Rebecca McClintock, Rebecca McClintock, Matthew Peterson, Nathaniel Barr, Douglas M. Jones, Timothy L. Dunn

“…To date, research shows that executive functioning is generally impaired by intense, acute stress, which implies the ability to think through potential actions to maximize survival would also be impaired by the cold shock response.MethodsTo examine whether the severity of cold shock response impairs higher-level thinking in a group, 29 active duty service members completed a group format Divergent Association Task (DAT; 4–5 per group) prior to and during a 13-min cold-water immersion (water temperature: 1.3°C, air temperature: −2.7°C).ResultsResults showed no relationship between cold shock response magnitude, indexed by peak heart rate, and DAT performance. …”

Effect of Pollution Level on Size Distributions and Mixing State of Ambient Black Carbon Particles in an Urban Area during Wintertime by Kangning Li, XiaoFei Wang, Xiaohui Lu, Hong Chen, Xin Yang

“…The BC particles existed in two size modes: the condensation mode, which mainly consisted of fresh traffic-emitted particles, and the droplet mode, which encompassed heavily aged traffic-emitted particles, biomass burning particles and heavy-duty diesel engine emission particles. Whereas the heavily aged traffic-emitted particles exhibited relatively small BC cores (60–80 nm in diameter) surrounded by a thick coating (100–160 nm), the biomass burning particles displayed slightly larger cores (80–130 nm) covered by an even thicker layer (160–300 nm). …”
