Objective: Magnetic fluid hyperthermia is a technique in which thermal energy is generated by magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) that are excited by an alternating magnetic field (AC field). During hyperthermia, in-vivo monitoring of elevation of temperature relies on invasive insertion of conventional thermometers, or employment of thermo-sensitive cameras that lack high precision....

Lidar is a powerful tool for monitoring vertical profile of aerosol pollutant layer (APL) and its variation. The extinction-to-backscatter ratio, S1, is a crucial parameter for quantitative interpretation of lidar data. Because of the large and quick variation of S1 in APL, it is necessary to measure real-timely S1. A multi-instrument method is introduced for monitoring APL by lidar combined wi...

With rapid development of advanced sensing technologies, rich and complex real-time profile data are available in many industrial processes such as steelforming manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing. These profile data provide valuable information about the quality or reliability performance of the process or product, and it is often desirable to utilize them to dev...

Recently, monitoring quality of a process or product that is characterized by a function or profile is becoming more popular. Many applications are shown for profile monitoring. Most existing control schemes, which have been suggested for profile monitoring in the literatures, consider the independence assumption of observation within profiles. However, in certain situation, this assumption can...

"Green analytical chemistry" (GAC) succeeded to become an eco-friendly environmental crucial area in the field of analytical chemistry targeting at the chemical processes' and products' optimization regarding to material consumption, generation of waste and intrinsic safety, toxicity and environmental burdens. For an expressive comparison, an electro-analytical in-line potentiometric selective ...

This work addresses a novel problem of maintaining channel profiles on the Web. Such channel maintenance is essential for next generation of Web 2.0 applications that provide sophisticated search and discovery services over Web information channels. Maintaining a fresh channel profile is extremely difficult due to the the dynamic nature of the channel, especially under the constraint of a limit...
