Abstract This paper builds a theoretical model concerning the influence of deterrent concentration profiles on combustion performance spherical propellants and identifies effects diffusion depth (A) combined strength deterring (P) propellant Γ~Ψ curves. In addition, calculation method for quantitatively comparing progressivity curves is presented. The results show that percentage burned corresp...

Objective: Magnetic fluid hyperthermia is a technique in which thermal energy is generated by magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) that are excited by an alternating magnetic field (AC field). During hyperthermia, in-vivo monitoring of elevation of temperature relies on invasive insertion of conventional thermometers, or employment of thermo-sensitive cameras that lack high precision....
