Lagging models of heat conduction, such as the Dual-Phase-Lag or the Single-Phase-Lag models, lead to heat conduction equations in the form of partial differential equations with delays or to partial differential equations of hyperbolic type, and have been considered to model microscale heat transfer in engineering problems or bio-heat transfer in medical treatments. In this work we obtain expl...

It is known that the effect of flecainide on longitudinal and transverse ventricular conduction velocities depends on the coupling interval. If this is so, whether the longitudinal or transverse direction is predominantly affected could depend on the magnitude of the coupling interval. In order to investigate this hypothesis, we studied the effect of flecainide, 1 micromol/L, on conduction velo...

We perform non-equilibrium simulations to study heat conduction in two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty plasmas. Temperature gradients are established by heating one part of the otherwise equilibrium system to a higher temperature. Heat conductivity is measured directly from the stationary temperature profile and heat flux. Particular attention is paid to the influence of damping effect on th...

Objectives: We propose a parallel hybrid particle swarm optimization (PHPSO) algorithm to reduce the computation cost because solving the one-dimensional (1D) heat conduction equation requires large computational cost which imposes a great challenge to both common hardware and software equipments. Background: Over the past few years, GPUs have quickly emerged as inexpensive parallel processors ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological disorder that disrupts axonal myelin in the central nervous system. Demyelination produces alterations in saltatory conduction, slowed conduction velocity, and a predisposition to conduction block. An estimated 60-80% of MS patients experience temporary worsening of clinical signs and neurological symptoms with heat exposure. Additionally, M...
