Electrical stimulation (ES) is a modality used to increase skin blood flow (SBF) and to aid in wound healing. A greater SBF in non wounded skin is induced if ES is used in a warm environment compared to a thermoneutral environment, where ES is usually applied. Therefore, in this paper, a method to investigate the effect of local heating and ES on the SBF is developed. A total of 33 males (18-40...

Based on the electromagnetic induction heating method, and curing of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) have advantages high energy utilization no pollution. However, in process, both material weaving structure mold can affect temperature field. Therefore, this study, an finite element analysis model for CFRP circular tubes was established based equivalent thermal characteristics CFRP. The ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles with uniform sizes between 13 nm and 180 nm can be selectively prepared through the "heating up" thermal decomposition method by using decanoic acid and carefully tuning the heating rate.

This paper presents a method for designing heat-reversible snap joints, locator-snap systems that detach non-destructively by heating a certain location of parts. It is expected to dramatically improve the recyclability of aluminium space frame (ASF) bodies by enabling clean separation of frames and body panels. Extending our previous work on the sequential design of the locators and heating ar...

An alternative method of rapid-cycle PCR for DNA amplification is demonstrated using electrolyte resistance for heating and temperature monitoring. The PCR amplification solution is electrically conductive and can be heated by passing an alternating current through the sample. The temperature of the solution is evaluated by monitoring its electrical resistance. Cooling is accomplished by forced...

Current safety regulations for local radiofrequency (rf) heating, developed for externally positioned rf coils, may not be suitable for internal rf coils that are being increasingly used in interventional MRI. This work presents a two-step model for rf heating in an interventional MRI setting: (1) the spatial distribution of power in the sample from the rf pulse (Maxwell's equations); and (2) t...

As the living standards of Chinese people have been improving, the energy demand for cooling and heating, mainly in the form of electricity, has also expanded. Since an integrated cooling, heating and power supply system (CCHP) will serve this demand better, the government is now attaching more importance to the application of CCHP energy systems. Based on the characteristics of the combined co...

AIMS To assess the effect of microwave heating on immunohistochemical staining of CD15 and CD30 antigens in Hodgkin's disease tissue samples. METHODS Formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded sections from 20 cases of Hodgkin's disease (six mixed cellularity, 14 nodular sclerosis) were immunostained for CD15, using two antibodies (DAKO-M1 and Leu-M1) and for CD30 using the antibody Ber-H2. The st...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of pressure-formed mouthguard thickness by varying the heating conditions within the proper heating temperature. MATERIALS AND METHODS The material used in this study was a mouthguard sheet of 3.8-mm ethylene vinyl acetate. The sheets were formed by pressure forming using a vacuum-pressure former. Three heating conditions we...
