[Purpose] Physiotherapeutic heating agents are classified into two groups: superficial-heating agents and deep-heating agents. Therapeutic ultrasound is a deep-heating agent used to treat various musculosketal disorders. Numerous studies have attempted to determine the impact of ultrasound on healthy nerve conduction parameters. However, the instantaneous effects of deep heating via ultrasound ...

A considerable fraction of the solar wind energy that crosses the magnetopause ends up in the high-latitude thermosphere-ionosphere system as a result of Joule heating, the consequences of which are very significant and global in nature. Often Joule heating calculations use hourly averages of the electric field, rather than the time-varying electric field. This leads to an underestimation of th...

Regeneration projects are essentially large scale refurbishment interventions aimed at improving the land-value/rents of a private development and associated public space. The typical method of valuing these property developments is the net present value (NPV) approach, which can undervalue the flexibility of investment decisions. This is particularly germane with regard to the role of utilitie...

The purpose of this study was to judge the feasibility of gasification for the disposal of waste streams generated through salmon harvesting. Gasification is the process of converting carbonaceous materials into combustible "syngas" in a high temperature (above 700 degrees C), oxygen deficient environment. Syngas can be combusted to generate power, which recycles energy from waste products. At ...

introduction:  laser  interstitial  thermotherapy  (litt)  is  an  internal  ablation  therapy  method  consisting of a percutaneous or intraoperative insertion of laser fibers directly into the liver tumor with  maximum diameter of 5 cm. in this treatment method, there isn’t any general information about the  relationship  between  increasing  the  exposure  power,  coagulation  and  carboniza...

introduction: texture is one of the most important attribute in foods and is always issues for the manufacturing of fried products, because texture plays a crucial role in consumer acceptance and the perceived quality of foods. prediction of changes in texture during frying can be helpful in process control. structurally, this quality parameter in fried potato strip made from the formation of a...

In this study, heat transfer and aerosol deposition in the under-floor and baseboard heating systems have been investigated, numerically. The aim of this study is a comparison between these heating systems. This comparison obtains the optimal heating system with low suspended particles in the air. Computational fluid dynamic with Eulerian-Lagrangian method has been used to simulate fluid and pa...

In this study, characterization of filtrated cake of sludge drying section from a petroleum refinery wastewater treatment plant in Melaka was carried out with the objective to analyze its chemical, physical and fuel characteristics. Proximate analysis, ultimate analysis and higher heating value (HHV) are very important in chemical and fuel characterization. Dielectric properties and density tes...
