Ablative therapies such as radio-frequency (RF) ablation are increasingly used for treatment of tumours in liver and other organs. Often large vessels limit the extent of the thermal lesion, and cancer cells close to the vessel survive resulting in local tumour recurrence. Accurate estimates of the heat convection coefficient h for large vessels will help improve ablation techniques, and are re...

The anyon fields have trivial α-commutator for α not integer. For integer α the commutators become temperature-dependent operator valued distributions. The n-point functions do not factorize as for quasifree states. MSC-class: 81T05, 81T40, 82B10, 82B23

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...

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we model behaviour of two point correlator an operator with arbitrary scale dimension $\Delta$ in spacetime $d$ for small but non-zero temperature. The obtained propagator coincides low temperature regime known result $d=4$ large at order $T^d$ as well and $T^{2d}$ terms exact all $d=2$. Furthermore, explicitly write down expression $T^{d}$ $\Delta$, present a c...

BACKGROUND The lethal isotherm for radiofrequency catheter ablation of cardiac myocardium is widely accepted to be 50°C, but this has not been directly measured. The purpose of this study was to directly measure the tissue temperature at the edge of radiofrequency lesions in real time using infrared thermal imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen radiofrequency lesions of 6 to 240 seconds in dur...

The model developed by Springer and Tsai is extended using non-linear volume fraction in place of physical porosity for the effective thermal conductivity of composite materials with the help of local fractal techniques. The expression for non-linear volume fraction is obtained using data available in the literature. Present model is constructed in terms of fiber volume fraction, the fiber-matr...
