Surface temperature drives many ecological processes and infrared thermography is widely used by ecologists to measure the thermal heterogeneity of different species' habitats. However, the potential bias in temperature readings caused by distance between the surface to be measured and the camera is still poorly acknowledged. We examined the effect of distance from 0.3 to 80m on a variety of th...

An infrared thermography equipment is used to measure the temperature rise at the rear surface of a sample submitted to the pulse irradiation of a flash source, in order to derive simultaneously two thermal properties of the sample. The Levemberg Marquadt technique is used to match the experimental data to the analytical model. Care is taken to tune sample features and the experimental set-up. ...

There is growing evidence that the microenvironment surrounding a tumor plays a special role in cancer development and cancer therapeutic resistance. Tumors arise from the dysregulation and alteration of both the malignant cells and their environment. By providing tumor-repressing signals, the microenvironment can impose and sustain normal tissue architecture. Once tissue homeostasis is lost, t...

Infrared thermography is a nondestructive evaluation technique aimed to the detection of surface temperature variations related to the presence of subsurface defects. Several inspection techniques have been developed over the years with basically two approaches, lock-in thermography and pulsed thermography. These two techniques are based on the principle of heat diffusion and thermal wave refle...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of thermography in identifying patients with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study sample consisted of 50 patients (27 women and 23 men) ages 19.2 to 24.5 years (mean age 22.43±1.04) with subjective symptoms of TMD (Ai II-III) and 50 patients (25 women and 25 me...

T he major reason for monitoring intraoperative temperature is for detection of fever, malignant hyperthermia, and hypothermia. Inadvertent hypothermia-defined by an absolute core temperature <36”C-is by far the most common perioperative thermal disturbance. However, hypothermia may be difficult to evaluate using liquid-crystal thermography, because skin temperatures are l-4°C less than core te...
