In the current paper, there are considered criteria for estimating thermoelectric properties of metal glasses (MG) on suitability thermometry. It is revealed that a principle choice materials based only not quite efficient. needs to examine also their mechanical durability, thermal, radiating, and anticorrosive properties, etc. More complete consideration proves use MGs in thermometry rather ex...

Statistical thermodynamic phenomenon of fluctuations (noise) appearance in the controlled substance is under consideration in the proposed work. Their types as well as the relationship among them revealing in the totality of influences on the characteristics of a noise thermometer as a certified metrological mean of measuring the parameters of electric noise have been researched. The background...

INTRODUCTION: Thermosensitive liposomal drug carriers provide a method for triggering the rapid release of high drug concentrations in a targeted region [1]. In patients with painful bone metastases, this could increase the effectiveness of thermal approaches to pain palliation by increasing cell kill in treatment margins, and reducing the required energy deposition, potentially reducing treatm...

Geologic maps are products of complex analyses and interpretations, and as such, contain a certain amount of uncertainty. Unfortunately, it is difficult to estimate the uncertainty within a geologic map. Much of this difficulty is due to the lack of a clear framework for describing the sources of uncertainty within the map and poor awareness, within the mapping community, of methods capable of ...

The aim of this study was to use whole body calorimetry to directly measure the change in body heat content (DeltaH(b)) during steady-state exercise and compare these values with those estimated using thermometry. The thermometry models tested were the traditional two-compartment model of "core" and "shell" temperatures, and a three-compartment model of "core," "muscle," and "shell" temperature...

We demonstrate a step change in the capability of diode laser excited two-line atomic fluorescence (TLAF) thermometry and show it is well-suited to the study of low-pressure sooting flames. The new developments to the technique reported here were essential to achieve the accuracy (±41 K) and precision (±8 K) required for useful measurements in such systems. This represents the first application...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain temperature is critical for homeostasis, relating intimately to cerebral perfusion and metabolism. Cerebral thermometry is historically challenged by the cost and invasiveness of clinical and laboratory methodologies. We propose the use of noninvasive MR thermometry in patients with cerebrovascular disease, hypothesizing the presence of a measurable brain thermal re...

The study area is located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, among the municipalities of Pedro Leopoldo, Matozinhos, and Sete Lagoas, with Velhas River as the eastern boundary. It is located in the São Francisco Craton, where carbonated argillo-arenaceous sediments are emplaced giving origin to the Bambuí Group, in the São Francisco Basin. Despite the geological knowledge previously develope...

A novel photoacoustic thermometric method is presented for simultaneously imaging cells and sensing their temperature. With three-seconds-per-frame imaging speed, a temperature resolution of 0.2°C was achieved in a photo-thermal cell heating experiment. Compared to other approaches, the photoacoustic thermometric method has the advantage of not requiring custom-developed temperature-sensitive b...
