Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by hyperkeratosis, dermal inflammatory infiltrate and increased angiogenesis. The aim of the present study was to assess usefulness of thermography in psoriatic lesion regression. Ten in-patients with psoriasis vulgaris were included in the study. ThermaCam INFRAMETRICS 290E thermocamera with temperature resolution of 0.1 o...

We investigate the viscous model of quantum hydrodynamics in one and higher space dimensions. Exploiting the entropy dissipation method, we prove the exponential stability of the thermal equilibrium state in 1,2, and 3 dimensions, provided that the domain is a box. Further, we show the local in time existence of a solution in the one dimensional case; and in the case of higher dimensions under ...

Anomalous large thermal conductivity has been observed numerically and experimentally in one- and two-dimensional systems. There is an open debate about the role of conservation of momentum. We introduce a model whose thermal conductivity diverges in dimensions 1 and 2 if momentum is conserved, while it remains finite in dimension d > or = 3. We consider a system of harmonic oscillators perturb...

The existing cosmological constraints on theories with large extra dimensions rely on the thermal production of the Kaluza-Klein modes of gravitons and radions in the early Universe. Successful inflation and reheating, as well as baryogenesis, typically requires the existence of a TeV-scale field in the bulk, most notably the inflaton. The non-thermal production of KK modes with masses of order...

Understanding thermal transport from nanoscale hot spots is important for a fundamental description of energy transport in materials, as well as many technological applications including thermal management in nanoelectronics, thermoelectric devices, nano-enhanced photovoltaics and nanoparticle-mediated thermal therapies. Heat transfer at the nanoscale is fundamentally different from that at the...

In this paper the Casimir effect for parallel plates at finite temperature in the presence of compactified universal extra dimensions is analyzed. We show the thermal corrections to the effect in detail. We investigate the Casimir effect for different size of universal extra dimensions.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate experience with and determine the efficacy and safety of thermal ablation in the management of spinal osteoid osteomas close to neural elements. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of all patients with osteoid osteomas of the spine managed with thermal ablation at two academic centers from 1993 to 2008 were reviewed. RESULTS Seventeen patien...

  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 tu...
