The discovery of cortical networks that participate in pain processing has led to the common generalization that blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) responses in these areas indicate the processing of pain. Physical stimuli have fundamental properties that elicit sensations distinguishable from pain, such as heat. We hypothesized that pain intensity coding may reflect the intensity coding of he...

By increase in the power of computer systems and enhanced power of the components and their temperature, including the central processing unit (CPU), cooling just by the air is not effective and there is need for more powerful systems to cool down and increase the power of the cooling system. In this article simulation of the heat exchanger material of the fluid cooling system has been studied ...

Purpose of review: Tactics to manage infestations of stored-product insects in grain-processing facilities historically included the use of heat treatments and the fumigant methyl bromide. The phase out of methyl bromide in the USA in 2005, because of its adverse effects on stratospheric ozone, has renewed interest in using heat treatments. In this review, a brief history regarding the use of h...

Heat integration to minimise energy usage in multipurpose batch plants has been in published literature for more than two decades. In most present methods, time is fixed a priori through a known schedule, which leads to suboptimal results. The method presented in this paper treats time as a variable, thereby leading to improved results. Both direct and indirect heat integration are considered t...

Egg yolk is a multifunctional ingredient widely used in many food products, wherein proteins are the dominant component contributing to this functionality. However, potential risk of foodborne illness associated with egg use forces us ensure that foodstuffs based on managed safe and sanitary manner. Lowering pH under certain value by adding acids could serve purpose, but it can also greatly mod...

aceae), has been heat-processed to improve its medicinal efficacies in Korea based on the long history of ethnopharmacological evidence. Although the increasing body of evidence supports that Maillard reaction products (MRPs) are implicated in the increased activity by heat treatment in various crude drugs or foods, the effect of Maillard reaction on the active components of ginseng and biologi...
