Many eurythermal organisms alter composition of their membranes to counter perturbing effects of environmental temperature variation on membrane fluidity, a process known as homeoviscous adaptation. Marine intertidal gastropods experience uniquely large thermal excursions that challenge the functional integrity of their membranes on tidal and seasonal timescales. This study measured and compare...

Measurements of the conduction-zone length (110±20  μm at t=2.8  ns), the averaged mass ablation rate of the deuterated plastic (7.95±0.3  μg/ns), shell trajectory, and laser absorption are made in direct-drive cryogenic implosions and are used to quantify the electron thermal transport through the conduction zone. Hydrodynamic simulations that use nonlocal thermal transport and cross-beam ener...

Various factors that can effect thermal blooming in stagnation zone situations are examined, including stagnation-zone motion, longitudinal air motion in the neighborhood of the stagnation zone, and the effects o f scenario noncoplanarity. O f these effects, only the last offers reasonable hope o f reducing the strong thermal blooming that normally accompanies stagnation zones; in particular, n...

Simulation codes of thermal behaviour could significantly improve housing construction design. Among the existing software, CODYRUN and TRNSYS are calculations codes of different conceptions. CODYRUN is exclusively dedicated to housing thermal behaviour, whereas TRNSYS is more generally used on any thermal system. The purpose of this article is to compare these two instruments in two different ...

in this study, a new method for joining aluminum tubes in subsurface structures using steel converting and aluminum welding are presented and reviewed. but near the weld area is under high thermal cycle and will cause residual stresses in heat affected zone. therefore for assessment of proposed connection from the perspective of residual stress by using the finite element method welding of tube...

The internal thermal and magnetic evolution of rocky exoplanets is critical to their habitability. We focus on the thermal-orbital evolution of Earth-mass planets around low-mass M stars whose radiative habitable zone overlaps with the "tidal zone," where tidal dissipation is expected to be a significant heat source in the interior. We develop a thermal-orbital evolution model calibrated to Ear...

OBJECTIVE Although tissue ablation by irreversible electroporation (IRE) has been characterized as nonthermal, the application of frequent repetitive high-intensity electric pulses has the potential of substantially heating the targeted tissue and causing thermal damage. This study evaluates the risk of possible thermal damage by measuring temperature development and distribution during IRE of ...
