Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regularly used for stereotactic imaging of Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery patients for GK treatment planning. MRI-induced thermal injuries have occurred and been reported for GK patients with attached metallic headframes. Depending on the specific MR imaging and headframe conditions, a skin injury from MRI-induced heating can potentially occur where the four h...

Passive design responds to improve indoor thermal comfort and minimize the energy consumption. The present research analyzed the how efficiently passive solar technologies generate heating and cooling and provide the system integration for domestic applications. In addition to this, the aim of this study is to increase the efficiency of solar systems system with integration some innovation and ...

[1] We use our three-dimensional Jupiter Thermosphere General Circulation Model (JTGCM) to quantify thermal processes that take place in the auroral thermosphere. These processes tend to control the thermal budget in the Jovian ovals and polar caps and maintain thermospheric temperatures consistent with those derived from multispectral observations of Jupiter’s aurora. The main heat source in t...

Climate model dynamics are driven by external and internal forcing. The primary forces affecting the thermal field are long wave radiative (LWR) heating, short wave radiative (SWR) heating, and convection (cumulus, etc.). These forcing effects are cycled through the thermal field to the motion field by nonlinear transfer. The model dependent variables, in particular temperature (T), moisture (Q...

The deposition of ultrasonic energy in tissue can cause tissue damage due to local heating. For pressures above a critical threshold, cavitation will occur, inducing a much larger thermal energy deposition in a local region. The present work develops a nonlinear bubble dynamics model to numerically investigate bubble oscillations and bubble-enhanced heating during focused ultrasound (HIFU) inso...

A simple method for transistor DC parameter extraction is presented, where the self-heating of the transistor is taken into account. The thermal behaviour of the transistor is modelled using a single thermal resistance, whose value is extracted simultaneously with the electrical parameters. When pulsed measurements are performed the usage of the thermal resistance, as an effective thermal resis...

Multicomponent reactions involving polyfunctional 4-amino-5-carboxamido-1,2,3-triazole and cyclic carbonyl-containing CH-acids were studied under conventional thermal heating, microwave and ultrasonic irradiation. The features of the reactions studied were discussed and the optimized procedures for the synthesis of final triazolopyrimidines were elaborated. In contrast to the similar MCRs of nu...

Uncoated corner cube retroreflectors (CCRs) operating via total internal reflection (TIR) are less susceptible to internal heating than their metal-coated analogs, lacking an absorber on the rear surface. Even so, environments that induce differential heating within the CCR will result in thermal lensing of the incident wavefront, introducing aberrations that will generally reduce the central i...
