The RDE can also be modulated thermally by irradiating the back of the disk electrode with a laser (Figure 9.6.4) (31). This method is the RDE analog of the temperature jump... 

The several different modulators that are commercially available can be classified in two main categories thermal modulators and valve-based modulators. Thermal modulators are the most frequently used and in turn can be broken down into two categories those whose principle involves a temperature increase and, inversely, cryogenic modulators. 

CPBR with chitin-immobilized (3-galactosidase (Illanes et al. 1998a) is presented to illustrate enzyme reactor design under modulated thermal inactivation. Diffusional restrictions are in this case negligible, the enzyme is inhibited by the product galactose competitively and neither glucose nor lactose at high concentrations are inhibitors (Illanes et al. 1990), so that Fig. 5.14 simplifies to the scheme in Fig. 5.18. 

The principle motivation behind the revision of this book resides in the burgeoning interest in temperature modulated thermal analysis methods. In this revised edition the sections on temperature modulated thermal analysis have been updated and considerably increased in size. We greatefully acknowledge stimulating discussions on TMDSC with Leonard C. Thomas and Marine Peron. 

What remains to be done is to elucidate directly the mechanism upon which cosolvents work to alter the thermal denaturation of proteins, rather than to rely indirectly on the correlation with the chemical denaturation. Here, I apply FST to show that it is the binding or exclusion of the cosolvents that modulates thermal denaturation (Shimizu 2011).

In terms of modulated thermal analysis techniques , TMDSC clearly dominates the group. However, there is limited literature on temperature modulated thermogravimetic analysis (TMTGA) and temperature modulated thermomechanical analysis (TMTMA). Modulation principles have been applied to some less common thermal analysis techniques such as DMA and thermally stimulated current analysis and these developments will be briefly addressed here. It appears that the major development in thermal analysis in the next decade will be in the temperature modulated domain. 

Finally, temperature modulated thermally stimulated current analysis has been applied to study dielectric materials via the separation of reversible pyroelectric effects from nonreversing thermally stimulated discharges.

The primary purpose of a thermal control subsystem is to maintain ail the elements of a spacecraft system within minimum and maximum temperature limits for all mission phases. Another role of the Reactor Module thermal control subsystem is to minimize heat loss from the Reactor Coolant Segment (RCS) in order to prevent loss of usable energy. These goals are achieved through the use of thermal isolation between elements with different temperature limits, by thermal coupling of elements where applicable to minimize temperature differences and to b-ansport heat energy as required, by addition of heat where necessary to maintain temperature above lower limits, and by rejection of heat to space via radiation.
