This study models the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on skin with a disk electrode in order to simulate tissue damage. The current density distribution above a disk electrode is known to be a dynamic and non-uniform quantity that is intensified at the edges of the disk. The non-uniformity is subject to change through using various electrode geometries or stimulation methods....

Skin biothermomechanics is highly interdisciplinary, involving bioheat transfer, burn damage, biomechanics, and physiology. Characterization of the thermomechanical behavior of skin tissue is of great importance and can contribute to a variety of medical applications. However, few quantitative studies have been conducted on the thermally-dependent mechanical properties of skin tissue. The aim o...

Thermal infrared imaging has been proposed as a potential system for the computational assessment of human autonomic nervous activity and psychophysiological states in a contactless and noninvasive way. Through bioheat modeling of facial thermal imagery, several vital signs can be extracted, including localized blood perfusion, cardiac pulse, breath rate, and sudomotor response, since all these...

ABSTRACT: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the most promising, extensively studied and widely applied technique in clinical practice for the local treatment of solid tumors, viz., liver, kidney, lung, bone, etc. However, the application of RFA in treatment of breast cancer Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the most promising, extensively studied and widely applied technique in clinical practice ...

This paper documents Version 1.0 of the Climate PoLicy ANalysis (C-PLAN) model and presents results for model's baseline a policy scenario. The C-PLAN is global, recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) tailored to economic emissions characteristics Aotearoa/New Zealand. Distinguishing features in include methane-reducing technologies livestock, bioheat from forestry residues, exp...
