 Thermal pad - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Thermal pad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Thermal pads or ground pads are thin, lightweight pads that are common among hikers, backpackers and budget travelers.
In computing and electronics, thermal pads are commonly found on the underside of heatsinks to aid the conduction of heat away from the component being cooled (such as a CPU or chip) and into the heatsink (usually made from aluminium or copper).
As an alternative to thermal grease (sometimes called thermal transfer material), AMD favour the use of thermal pads on the bottom of heatsinks supplied with its processors, as they are cleaner and generally easier to install.

 Thermal neutron - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Thermal neutron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
A thermal neutron is a free neutron with a kinetic energy level of ca.
They are named 'thermal' as this level of kinetic energy is similar to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a room-temperature gas (see kinetic theory for energies and rms speeds of molecules).
Thermal neutrons have a much larger effective cross-section than fast neutrons, and can therefore be absorbed more easily by any atomic nuclei that they collide with, creating a heavier - and often unstable - isotope of the element as a result.

The maintenance of this plasticity in situations of morphogenetic changes such as occur in dimorphic fungi depends upon the activities of various enzymes that are associated with the cell wall.
Several factors have contributed to this difficulty, such as the rarity of isolation of the fungus from the environment, the large number of negative reports in attempts involving soil samples and the low repeatability of isolation of the fungus from the same area.
Xylanase activity was present in both forms of this fungus, but it is six times higher in mycelium than in yeast, which was expected since the former is found in the environment as a saprobe, with chiefly vegetal substrates as carbon sources.

Epidemiology: Clinical and epidemiologic studies indicate that humans and animals usually contact blastomycosis after inhaling aerosolized infectious conidia of the mycelial form of the fungus growing as a saprophyte in the soil and the primary focus of the infection is in the lungs.
Primary cutaneous infections are rare and usually caused by accidental inoculation of the fungus into the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
dermatitidis is dimorphic, it produces nonencapsulated yeastlike cells in host tissues and in vitro at 37 C on enriched media, and white-to-tan, downy-to-fluffy moulds at room temperature on standard mycologic media.

One differentially expressed gene encodes a small transcript in antisense orientation to a homolog of a negative regulatory protein kinase gene from another fungus, which is important in mating and starvation responses.
A second target gene is expressed specifically in the yeast morphotype and not in mold, and the predicted encoded protein displays significant sequence homology with epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains found in a variety of proteins from other organisms, that typically function in attachment or intercellular signaling.

Background: Blastomycosis, which originally was described by Gilchrist and Stokes in 1894 and 1896, is an endemic systemic pyogranulomatous mycosis caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus, Blastomyces dermatitidis.
Because of the erroneous belief that the disease is limited only to the United States, blastomycosis often is referred by the term North American blastomycosis, which is an obsolete term.
Likewise, South American blastomycosis (ie, Brazilian blastomycosis) is an older name for paracoccidioidomycosis, a chronic often fatal mycosis caused by a large dimorphic fungus, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.
