Fear can cause side effects in individuals as anxiety and depression; also several treatment options have been suggested to reduce stress and eventually anxiety and depression.the aim of this study is to evaluate cognitive and hormonal changes in young male volunteers after experiencing fear (free-fall) and after using Migun Thermal Bed System (as treatment). Participants were recruited using D...

Thermal paper finds its extensive use in the modern day life and could act as a vital piece of physical evidence carrying latent fingermarks. A large number of citations are available in literature suggesting various techniques to develop these marks but all are suffering with one or the other drawbacks such as complex and cumbersome procedure, pre- or post-treatment, background coloration and ...

Residual stress arisen in fabrication process of Double-Ceramic-Layer Thermal Barrier Coating System (DCL-TBCs) has a significant effect on its quality and reliability. In this work, based on the practical fabrication process of DCL-TBCs and the force and moment equilibrium, a theoretical model was proposed at first to predict residual stress generation in its fabrication process, in which the ...

Aspen wood was subjected to autohydrolysis as a pre-treatment to characterize the structural changes occurring in lignin fractions during the pre-treatment process. Milled wood lignin (MWL) was isolated from both the native aspen wood and hydrolyzed wood chips, and its structural features were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), quantitative 13C, two-dimensional heteronuclear s...

Context. The classical flare picture features a beam of electrons, which were accelerated in a site in the corona, hitting the chromosphere. The electrons are stopped in the dense chromospheric plasma, emitting bremsstrahlung in hard X-rays. The ambient material is heated by the deposited energy and expands into the magnetic flare loops, a process termed chromospheric evaporation. In this view ...

BACKGROUND Neuropathic pain is evasive to treat once developed, however evidence suggests that local administration of anesthetics near the time of injury reduces the development of neuropathic pain. As abnormal electrical signaling in the damaged nerve contributes to the initiation and maintenance of neuropathic pain, local administration of anesthetics prior to injury may reduce its developme...

oil in water emulsions have attracted considerable attention in food industry due to their large applications. in this study, the effect of thermal treatment on oil in water emulsions (o/w) containing 40% oil was studied. the emulsions were prepared using xanthan gum, guar gum and carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizer and polyoxyethylen sorbitan monooleat as emulsifier. a mixture design was use...

An analytical solution for a sandwich circular FGM plate coupled with piezoelectric layers under one-dimension heat conduction is presented in this paper. A nonlinear static problem is solved first to determine the initial stress state and pre-vibration deformations. By adding an incremental dynamic state to the pre-vibration state, the differential equations are derived. The role of thermal en...

Skin irritation is mostly a multifactorial process. Competitive effects of different chemical irritants are well known. This study investigates the influence of a thermal stimulus on skin pre-irritated with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Seventy-seven volunteers were patch-tested with SLS 0.25% and 0.5% for 48 h. Water served as control. Skin reaction was evaluated by measurement of transepiderma...
