Functional infrared thermal imaging (fITI) is considered a promising method to measure emotional autonomic responses through facial cutaneous thermal variations. However, the facial thermal response to emotions still needs to be investigated within the framework of the dimensional approach to emotions. The main aim of this study was to assess how the facial thermal variations index the emotiona...

New variational principles are developed for the e}ective heat conductivity tensor of aniso! tropic two!phase composites in the presence of coupled mass and heat transport processes at the two!phase interface[ We focus on physical situations where an imposed temperature gradient causes impurities or lattice defects to concentrate on the two!phase interface and di}use along it[ This is accompani...

the residual stresses in composite laminates depend on several factors including the conditions of fabricating process, property of materials, direction and lay-ups of the layers. however the thermo-elastic behavior of composite is one of the most important parameters affecting the magnitude of residual stresses. the elastic properties and residual stresses do not remain constant under cyclic t...

ABSTRACT I review the image stability tests performed during the second thermal-vacuum (TV) campaign of WFC3. In the first TV campaign, significant drifts were seen in both channels in response to induced thermal changes in the instrument, but subsequent analysis indicated that the induced temperature variations were unrealistically large (compared to on-orbit conditions). In the current tests,...

Commercial hydrocarbon discoveries in the Cretaceous of the southern Persian Gulf basin provide direct evidence that there is an effective petroleum system associated with the Cretaceous series. The revised models of thermal maturity in this region are needed to investigate lateral and stratigraphic variations of thermal maturity, which have not so far been addressed in detail for this part of ...

Introduction: Diagnosis of primary and secondary cancers to treat patients with diffuse and malignant tumors is an important subject. The appropriate treatment will be eliminating primary and metastatic tumors. Radiofrequency ablation with localized heat induction in the target tissue causes irreversible cellular damage and tissue coagulation. Estimation of tissue temperature c...
