Thermal conductivity of superconducting MgB 2 was studied in both the superconducting and the normal state region. The latter is almost equally determined by the electronic-and the lattice contribution to the total thermal conductivity. In the superconducting state, however, the lattice contribution is larger. The electronic thermal conductivity below T c was derived from the experimental data ...

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods are being developed for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) and for gas-separation membranes. For TBC applications, current NDE development is focused on infrared thermal imaging methods. Compared with optical and other methods, thermal imaging is quantitative so can be used to characterize TBCs during their entire life cycle, from as-processed condition to s...

Less than six years ago, thermal cooling in the electronics arena was mainly an issue for highperformance, high-end applications, such as, military, aerospace and large-scale industrial and medical applications. Outside these sectors, thermal cooling was just a premature notion. In the short span of a few years, technological and other developments have made thermal cooling necessary for many a...

Thermoregulation in ectothermic animals is influenced by the ability to effectively respond to thermal variations. While it is known that ectotherms are affected by thermal changes, it remains unknown whether physiological and/or metabolic traits are impacted by modifications to the thermal environment. Our research provides key evidence that fish ectotherms are highly influenced by thermal var...

designing drilling fluids for drilling in deep gas reservoirs and geothermal wells is a majorchallenge. cooling drilling fluids and preparing stable mud with high thermal conductivity are ofgreat concern. drilling nanofluids, i.e. a low fraction of carbon nanotube (cnt) well dispersed inmud, may enhance the mixture thermal conductivity compared to the base fluids. thus, they arepotentially usef...

The thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and heat capacity per unit volume of dunite rocks taken from Chillas near Gilgit, Pakistan have been measured simultaneously using transient plane source technique. The temperature dependence of thermal transport properties is studied in the temperature range 83-303 K. Different relations for the estimation of thermal conductivity are also tested. T...

Development of peripheral neuropathy, which can present as painful neuropathy or loss of sensation, sometimes limit the use of paclitaxel in the treatment of solid tumors such as breast cancer. Previous studies reported development of thermal hyperalgesia in mice treated with paclitaxel. In this study an automated flinch detection system for the formalin test (20 μl of 5% formalin injected subc...

BACKGROUND Acute postoperative pain is one of the frequent reasons for pain treatment. However, the exact mechanisms of its development are still not completely clear. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptors are involved in nociceptive signaling in various hypersensitive states. Here we have investigated the contribution of TRPV1 receptors expressed on cutaneous peripheral no...
