Stable weld formation is still one of the goals pursued in variable-polarity plasma arc welding (VPPAW) of aluminium alloys. Basically, VPPAW is divided into three segments: the startup segment, during which the keyhole is generated, the main body segment, during which the keyhole is dynamically maintained, and the terminal segment, during which the keyhole collapses and the crater is ®lled. Ve...

While temperature on the surface of a heat-generating solid body can be easily measured using a variety of methods, very few techniques exist for non-invasively measuring the temperature inside the solid body as a function of time. Measurement of internal temperature is very desirable since measurement of just the surface temperature gives no indication of temperature inside the body, and syste...

this study demonstrates the changes in six different pathophysiological parameters such as body weight, body temperature, fecal pellet count, blood-brain barrier (bbb) permeability, plasma corticosterone level and emergence of hemorrhagic peptic ulcer spots due to exposure to high environmental heat in three different age groups of freely moving rats. methods: each age group of rats was sub div...

Heat sinks are used in industrial equipment to dissipate the excess heat from their heat-generating parts to the ambient. In the last few years, efforts on manufacturing electronic or mechanical devices with less weight, space, and lower cost were spent. Heat dissipation from the heat sink is stalling a big problem which many researchers are trying to solve. The aim of this study is to brief th...

We describe recent studies on photothermal effects using colloidal nanoparticles. Metal nanoparticles efficiently generate heat in the presence of electromagnetic radiation. This process becomes strongly enhanced under plasmon resonance and also depends on the shape and organization of the nanoparticles. In particular, the amount of generated heat and temperature increase depends on the number ...

the output of x-ray, especially in the field of required energy for diagnosing the disease is very low (in diagnosing lamps, it is less than 1%). in this kind of lamps the rest of the electrical energy is transformed to heat. this considerable amount of heat induces a myriad of too many limitations in choosing higher levels of radiation, particularly in specialized techniques. this process is t...

conclusions the results showed that, compared to participants with normal weights, physiological and thermal perceptual responses were higher in overweight participants. therefore, overweight individuals should avoid hot/dry weather conditions to decrease the amount of heat strain. results in both groups, oral temperature, heart rate, and thermal perceptual responses increased during heat expos...
