This study used the commercial CFD software ANSYS CFD / Fluent, for simulating the transient flow field and investigating the radiator heat effects of radiator for single piezoelectric fan in a single rectangular flow channel, respectively, for two kinds of heat devices, which were flat and square columnar types placed horizontally or vertically in order to find the optimum cooling radiator pos...

Fuzzy set theory is applied to quantify the non-probabilistic uncertainty alternatively termed as epistemic uncertainty. An algorithm “Fuzzy Centered Radius” has been developed for quantification of epistemic uncertainty. Uncertainty analysis is also carried out using fuzzy vertex method. Analytical solution of one dimension heat conduction and numerical solution of heat removal from circular f...

Current-activated tip-based sintering (CATS) is a novel process where spark plasma sintering conditions are applied through an electrically conducting tip on a locally controlled area on a green powder compact/bed. The localization of electric current in CATS allows for unique temporal and spatial current and temperature distributions within the tip and powder compact. In this paper, special ex...

BACKGROUND It is not known whether catheter tip temperatures with a cooled-tip ablation can be reliably extrapolated to estimate actual tissue temperatures. The relationship between catheter tip temperatures, tissue temperatures, power, and microbubble formation is not known. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine dogs underwent 111 radiofrequency energy deliveries at the pulmonary vein ostia with a cooled...

When an external laser illuminates a nanoscale tip, heating effect arises from absorption of light. This thermal phenomenon happens in near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), 5 apertureless NSOM, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), laser-assisted scanning tunneling microscope (STM)/ atomic force microscope (AFM)-assisted surface modification and nanofabrication, 11 and high density d...

PURPOSE Ultrasound activation of phacoemulsification (phaco) tips can create considerable thermal energy that may increase the risk of tissue damage during cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to define the thermal profiles of three phaco tip designs in simulated surgical conditions. METHODS In this laboratory investigation, sleeved phaco tips (mini-flared Kelman(®) tip with aspira...

In this paper, the nonlinear differential equation for the convection of the temperature distribution of a straight fin  with the thermal conductivity depends on the temperature is solved using Adomian Decomposition Method and Padé approximation(PADM) for boundary problems. Actual results are then compared with results obtained previously  using digital solution by Runge–Kuttamethod and a diffe...

Dorsal fin damage in salmonid fishes is primarily caused by aggression. While undesirable in fish culture, it can nevertheless be a useful tool to study social interactions in large groups of fish where it is difficult to study the behaviour of known individuals directly. We used low Ž . temperature treatment to manipulate the growth rates of juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the spring a...

Tissue vascularization entails the formation of a blood vessel plexus, which remodels into arteries and veins. Here we show, by using time-lapse imaging of zebrafish fin regeneration and genetic lineage tracing of endothelial cells in the mouse retina, that vein-derived endothelial tip cells contribute to emerging arteries. Our movies uncover that arterial-fated tip cells change migration direc...
