Special Issue on Recent Developments of Nanofluids

Recent advances in nanotechnology have allowed the development of a new category of fluids termed nanofluids. A nanofluid refers to the suspension of nanosize particles, which are suspended in the base fluid with low thermal conductivity. The base fluid, or dispersing medium, can be aqueous or non-aqueous in nature. Typical nanoparticles are metals, oxides, carbides, nitrides, or carbon nanotub...

Surface Treatments by Laser Technology

Industrial applications require parts of components with specific surface properties such are good corrosion resistance, wear resistance and hardness. Alloys with those properties are usually very expensive and there is a great interest in reducing the cost of components for fulfilling these requirements. In this sense, laser surface processing has been used as a cost-effective technique to imp...

Special Issue "Technology for Mental Health"

Help4Mood is a system that supports the treatment of people with depression in the community. It collects rich cognitive, psychomotor, and motor data through a Personal Monitoring System and a Virtual Agent, which is then analysed by a Decision Support System; analysis results are fed back to patients and their treating clinicians. In this paper, we describe how the complex data is managed and ...
