A mist that rises from the sea
In my research through practice I am writing a creative memoir about memory and loss. It focuses on the life and death of my brother, and is set over a single month after his funeral. Each of the twenty-four chapters, mirroring the 24 years of my brother’s life, explore a particular theme that …

Mist interception by three species of mountain fynbos
… of the present study was to investigate mist interception by Mountain Fynbos under non-rainfall conditions. Quantitative measurements and qualitative observations of plant-drip and stem-flow from selected plant species were recorded at five experimental sites on the Back Table of Table …

Development of MiST-IR : multi-spectral infrared thermography
… called Multi-Spectral Infrared Thermography or MiST, builds on previous diagnostic techniques for measuring the 2-D wall temperature distribution or the 2-D phase distribution of the fluid above the surface. These methods make use of infrared thermography, a well developed practice involving the …

Radiation-induced condensational growth of cloud-sized mist droplets
… effect of radiative cooling on cloud-sized water mist droplet evolution. The experiments were a continuation from two earlier students’ graduate research projects. Improvements were made on the experimental apparatus from this previous work to solve issues regarding unrepresentative droplet sizes …

Radiative impacts on water mist/cloud droplet condensative growth
… were conducted on laminar, saturated water mist flowing through a tube apparatus with an inner wall cooled to induce radiative heat transfer from the mist droplets to the tube wall. The flow tube was designed to isolate the radiative effect by eliminating convective heat transfer between the …

Mist to annular flow development quantified by novel video analysis methods
… of the film and droplets found in annular-mist flows to be extracted from a single video. This method allows measurements to be made without altering the internal geometry or flow path. Flow parameters such as drop size, velocity, and concentration and film wavelength and wave speed are …

Experimental investigation of mist flow generated by reed valves in compressor discharge
… an experimental investigation to characterize mist flow of oil and refrigerant at the discharge of air conditioning and refrigeration compressors. It was identified that in a vast majority of compressors the discharge port is the gateway for the oil to leave the compressor and get carried over …

Air-oil mist lubrication of small bore ball bearings at high speeds
… were tested to high speeds using air-oil mist lubrication. Test conditions included cooling air flow rates of 1.5, 3.0, and 6.0 scfm (0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 kg/min), thrust loads of 50, 75, and 100 lb (222, 334, and 445 N), and a constant radial load of 25 lb (111 N). Steady-state bearing …

In and out of the mist: an artistic investigation of borderland and community.
… is possible with the intervention of fog and mist. This thesis encompasses creative ways to photograph borderlands under fog and mist conditions, creating a surrealistic, magical and meaningful representation of human and natural connections on borderlands, whilst contributing to the finding …

Application of water mist to fuel-rich fires in model coal mine entries
… Recent experiences with the application of water mist to industrial fires has shown that use of fog can be an efficacious agent in controlling large scale fires. The postulations of this phenomenon concern the ability of the water, as a fog, to get deeply within the fire structure. In this manner …

Investigation of cutting temperature and cutting force from mist flow pattern in MQL technique
… to supply the cutting fluid in the formation of mist. MQL has proven to reduce machining cost and increase machining performance. Previous research have stated that machining performance is affected by the lubricant type, flow rate, the distance between nozzle and tool tip, and the workpiece …

Ethanol Mist to Control Salmonella enterica serovar Newport on Fresh Tomato and Cantaloupe Surfaces
… on assessing the sanitizing efficacy of ethanol mist to reduce Salmonella populations on the surfaces of tomatoes and cantaloupes. Ethanol (70%) mist was applied to whole tomatoes and cantaloupe rind plugs using a Biomist sanitation system, which uses CO2 as a carrier gas to spray vapors through …

Feasibility and design of blast mitigation systems for naval applications using water mist fire suppression systems
The recent trend of using fine water mist systems to replace the legacy HALON- 1301 fire suppression systems warrants further study into other applications of the water mist systems. Preliminary research and investigation indicates that fine mists (20-25 pm droplet size) may reduce peak …

An assessment of health hazards associated with the use of water mist systems as a cooling intervention in Australia
Water mist systems (WMS) installed and used for cooling ambient temperatures in public places fall within the category of premise plumbing. Premise plumbing refers to the water distribution networks that lie downstream of the water meter, and within buildings. The colonization of premise plumbing …

LINEAGE TRACING ANALYSIS OF PANCREATIC ACINAR CELL DE DIFFERENTIATION AND TRANS-DIFFERENTIATION IN VITRO AND IN VIVO IN THE ABSENCE OF MIST 1
… The acinar specific transcription factor MIST1 is required for acinar cell maturation and targeted deletion of Misti (Mist1'A) in mice results in incomplete maturation of acinar cells, and increased susceptibility to pancreatic injury. Previous studies revealed that the majority of …

Population Dynamics and Foraging Behavior of Gray Bats in Pittsburg, Ks
… 1998. A recapture was performed on 8 August via mist net and 9 August by harp trap. The percent of banded bats recaptured by mist net of 3.73 (15.91% of the total captures) and 1.60 (5.60% of the total captures) in the trap. Juveniles accounted for 19.32% of the captured bats in mist tents and …
