& Experiments and finite difference thermal modeling of the induction-heated tool for end milling of elastomers are investigated. Three sets of experiments are designed to calibrate the contact thermocouple for the tool tip temperature measurement, study the effect of tool rotational speed on induction heat generation and convective heat transfer, and measure the tool temperature distribution f...

In order to manufacture smaller and more efficient electric motors an accurate prediction of the motor thermal performances at the design stage is a necessity. In addition, the thermal performance often needs to be analyzed when a motor is used in a different way to which it was originally designed for. An important example is the use of variable speed drives with induction motors designed for ...

background: a possible mechanism by which hyperthermia enhances tumor immunogenicity is the induction of nkg2d ligands on tumor cells. although the expression of mhc class i chain-related protein a and b (mica/b) has previously been reported in different carcinomas, there is no information about mica/b expression in liposarcomas. objective: to investigate mica/b induction in a human liposarcoma...

a b s t r a c t there are three types of nerve fibers that are involved in the transmission of pain stimuli: c fibers (slower fibers) for thermal, mechanical and chemical stimuli, a-delta fibers for thermal or mechanical stimuli and a-beta fibers for touch stimuli. clinically, this is crucial in making an accurate assessment of the pain level experienced by a suffering patient, in indicating th...

The transition to flowering is an important event in the plant life cycle and is modulated by several environmental factors including photoperiod, light quality, vernalization, and growth temperature, as well as biotic and abiotic stresses. In contrast to light and vernalization, little is known about the pathways that mediate the responses to other environmental variables. A mild increase in g...

High quality heating device made of ferromagnetic alloy (thermal seed) was developed for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Ferromagnetic seeds of PdNi, PdCo and CuNi are prepared by induction furnace and subsequent heat treatment. Magnetic induction and hysteresis loops are measured as functions of temperature. The power dissipated from each seed was calculated from the area enclosed by the hys...

A noncontact technique of measuring the changes in electrical conductivity ~or resistivity! of conducting liquids is reported. The technique is based on a conducting drop that is levitated by the high-temperature electrostatic levitator in a high vacuum. This technique, which utilizes the principle of the asynchronous induction motor, measures the relative changes in torque as a function of tem...
