A trans-admittance scanner (TAS) is a device for breast cancer diagnosis based on numerous experimental findings that complex conductivities of breast tumors significantly differ from those of surrounding normal tissues. In TAS, we apply a sinusoidal voltage between a handheld electrode and a scanning probe placed on the breast skin to make current travel through the breast. The scanning probe ...

The heat capacity of supercooled water, measured down to -37°C, shows an anomalous increase as temperature decreases. The thermal diffusivity, i.e., the ratio of the thermal conductivity and the heat capacity per unit volume, shows a decrease. These anomalies may be associated with a hypothesized liquid-liquid critical point in supercooled water below the line of homogeneous nucleation. However...

Vacuum assisted resin infusion (VARI) processes are widely used for the fabrication of large composite parts. For some years now, wind blades designed with thermoset materials, however, recyclability is often missing brick. The recent advent thermoplastic materials such as ELIUM©, developed by ARKEMA, shows possibility to consider manufacture very parts turbine recyclable constituents [1]. Fren...

We investigate Hawking radiation from two-dimensional dilatonic black holes using standard quantization techniques. In the background of a collapsing black hole solution the Bogoliubov coefficients can be exactly determined. In the regime after the black hole has settled down to an ‘equilibrium’ state but before the backreaction becomes important these give the known result of a thermal distrib...

Thermal expansion of materials is fundamental practical relevance and arises from an interplay several material properties. For nanocrystalline materials, accurate measurements thermal based on high-precision reference dilatometry allow inferring phenomena taking place at internal interfaces such as vacancy annihilation grain boundaries. Here we report obtained for a severely deformed 316L aust...
