For Miller and Triangle Veterinary Hospital, the initial outlay was about $ 12,000 for a centrifuge, a warm - water bath, an LED setup and enough large - and small - animal kits to perform eight stem - cell procedures, for which the clinic is charging $ 2,000 each.

It will be, as in the case with direct solar heating, larger than the final equibrium cooling, but it could still be a cooling even after surface + tropospheric warming, though both the initial and final cooling will be smaller than in the case with direct solar heating.
