T2* decay is of much greater magnitude than T2 in tissues and results in more rapid signal loss as compared to the T2 relaxation.If one had a perfectly uniform magnet and an object without susceptibility effects, the T2 and T2* would be equal.he relationship between T2 and T2* can be illustrated by the multiecho spin echo sequence shown in Figure 2. The 180 degree RF pulses used to generate the echo are rephasing the spins that have undergone T2* decay. The gradual decline in signal from subsequent echos reflects T2 decay.
At 15 kWh, trading in a pre-1986 fridge for a new efficient one would save about $158 a year in electricity costs. And some older fridges are even worse than the average. One reader estimates her savings to be $238 per year for trading in her 1979 fridge for a 2004 model.ridge should be 36-40F, and the freezer should be 0-5F (-17 to -10C). Fridges set 10 degrees lower than needed (or freezers set 5 degrees lower than needed) can increase energy use by as much as 20-25%. Personally, I set my own fridge to 56 because as a vegan I never store super-perishables like meat or dairy.
The amount of electricity listed on the label is the maximum amount that the appliance will ever use. 1  For example, a 300-watt refrigerator will only run at 300 watts when the compressor's running (which is when it makes that humming sound, indicating that it's actually chilling the air inside). Most of the time the fridge just sits there, using only 5 watts or so for its electronics.
