No URL of relevance, I'm sorry...
For what I recall, this paper used the Dreamcast as an example of 
cooling with no room for regular air cooling. Sega had to devise a 
special system to fit in, I don't recall if it was water cooling or 
microfin cooling (the paper was talking of both).

Either they have done their job correctly, or their CPU is heating a 
lot, considering the amount of heat being blown out on the right side of 
the DC after a few hours running.

Having heard of no problem (what you confirm), I guess they just did 
their job correctly, and devised a smart way to cool the SH in very 
little room.
