The article presents a mathematical model of the heat transfer process when heating metal in furnace, which describes thermophysical processes that occur using industrial technology for castings. A simplified convective and radiant is based on conventional differential equations, allows to calculate time metal. It you evaluate furnace find its optimal parameters. widely used can be applied stud...

In the last five years, everolimus has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of different origins; its efficacy and safety were explored in the RADIANT trials, the last of which (RADIANT-4) has been recently published (December 2015). Overall, evidence collected from the RADIANT studies holds promise to change clinical practice for the treatment of NETs.In this ...

A water-based floor radiant heating system (WFRH) is used in a Solar Decathlon House for temperature and thermal comfort control. To minimize the energy consumption, while maintaining the thermal comfort, computer simulations are utilized to evaluate different control strategies before actual implementation. However, there are two potential challenges which have not been addressed before: first...

Despite a potential of infrared neural stimulation (INS) for modulating neural activities, INS suffers from limited light confinement and bulk tissue heating. Here, a novel methodology for an advanced optical stimulation is proposed by combining near-infrared (NIR) stimulation with gold nanorods (GNRs) targeted to neuronal cell membrane. We confirmed experimentally that in vitro and in vivo neu...

The energy performance of radiant slab cooling relative to conventional air systems to be clarified for climates from cold and dry to very hot and humid. EnergyPlus simulations were used to compare the energy performance of 1) radiant slab cooling combined with a dedicated outdoor air system and 2) a variable air volume system. Simulation results show that the radiant slab system provided 10% t...

Abstract The analysis of mathematical modeling results on premise heating by a gas infrared emitter (GIE) during supply and exhaust ventilation operation is presented in this article. model one-dimensional non-stationary setting for an incompressible medium with allowances the radiant heat flux transfer between opaque solid surfaces air. air transparent to thermal radiation. traditional k-ε use...

The successful application of lasers in the treatment of skin diseases and cosmetic surgery is largely based on the principle of conventional selective photothermolysis which relies strongly on the difference in the absorption between the therapeutic target and its surroundings. However, when the differentiation in absorption is not sufficient, collateral damage would occur due to indiscriminat...

In this work, the effect of seven different sample orientations from 0° to 90° on pilot and non-pilot ignition of PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)) exposed to radiation has been studied with experimental and numerical methods. Some new and significant conclusions are drawn from the study, including a U-shape curve of ignition time and critical mass flux as sample angle increases for pilot igniti...
