conclusions the incidence of liver abscesses after liver cancer thermal ablation is low. child-pugh class b and class c cirrhosis, biliary tract disease, diabetes mellitus, and porta hepatis tumors are four significant risk factors. combined ablation and pei reduces the rate of liver abscesses. background radiofrequency ablation (rfa) and microwave ablation (mwa) are the most frequently used th...

Several heat transfer problems related to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are considered using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The Brenner potential (Brenner, 1990) with the simplified form (Yamaguchi and Maruyama, 1998) is employed as the potential function between carbon and carbon within a nanotube. MD simulations of thermal conductivity along a nanotube, isotope effect in longit...

In some animals, the typical body temperature can be higher than humans, for example, 42°C in poultry and 40°C in rabbits which can be a potential thermal stress challenge for pathogens. Even in animals with lower body temperatures, when infection occurs, the immune system may increase body temperature to reduce the chance of survival for pathogens. However, some pathogens can still easily over...

The development and motion of fronts associated with lee-side troughs on large mountain barriers has been investigated. These fronts differ from ordinary cold fronts in their horizontal temperature field, which is characterized by a sinusoidal thermal ridge. The thermal ridge intensifies, while remaining stationary with respect to the mountains, and moves eastward upon the approach of a Pacific...

Abstract This present study demonstrates the applicability of basalt fibre-reinforced polymer (BFRP) composite materials in thermal shielding. Basalt fibres are produced from natural, sustainable sources and obtain comparable mechanical performance to commercial glass fibres. In addition their strength, BFRPs have excellent chemical heat resistance. tend a higher stability than competitor The r...

We show that the lattice contribution to the thermal conductivity of MoS2 strongly dominates the carrier contribution in a broad temperature range from 300 to 800K. Since theoretical insight into the lattice contribution is largely missing, though it would be essential for materials design, we solve the Boltzmann transport equation for the phonons self-consistently in order to evaluate the phon...

A novel thermal lens that can achieve a remote cooling effect is designed by transformation thermodynamics. The effective distance between the separate hot source and cold source is shortened by our shelled thermal lens without any negative thermal conductivity. Numerical simulations verify the performance of our thermal lens. Based on the effective medium theory, we also propose a practical wa...
