Economical humidity control: an alternative to reheat

Article Abstract:

The conventional method of controlling indoor humidity involves the use of a reheat system. The reheat process entails overcooling the air, then reheating it to achieve the desired temperature. This process, though effective, is fraught with excessive capital and operating costs. A cost-efficient alternative to the reheat system involves the use of a heat exchanger. This process saves on energy because the heat pipe precools the warm air and produces reheat from the warm return air. The use of heat pipe heat exchangers reduces humidity levels from 50% to 100%.

Mild hypothermia: an alternative to deep hypothermia for achieving neuroprotection

Article Abstract:

Mild hypothermia has been developing as an alternative for neurosurgeons and cardiothoracic surgeons to stop the progression of neurologic damage following periods of ischemia or in cases where there are injuries to the head. The technique may soon be used either alone or in conjunction with other methods of neuroprotection.
