Lagging models of heat conduction, such as the Dual-Phase-Lag or the Single-Phase-Lag models, lead to heat conduction equations in the form of partial differential equations with delays or to partial differential equations of hyperbolic type, and have been considered to model microscale heat transfer in engineering problems or bio-heat transfer in medical treatments. In this work we obtain expl...

Accurate modeling of the energy balance of a snowpack requires good estimates of the snow surface temperature. The snow surface temperature allows a balance between atmospheric heat fluxes and the conductive flux into the snowpack. While the dependency of atmospheric fluxes on surface temperature is reasonably well understood and parameterized, conduction of heat from the snow surface into the ...

We perform non-equilibrium simulations to study heat conduction in two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty plasmas. Temperature gradients are established by heating one part of the otherwise equilibrium system to a higher temperature. Heat conductivity is measured directly from the stationary temperature profile and heat flux. Particular attention is paid to the influence of damping effect on th...

Objectives: We propose a parallel hybrid particle swarm optimization (PHPSO) algorithm to reduce the computation cost because solving the one-dimensional (1D) heat conduction equation requires large computational cost which imposes a great challenge to both common hardware and software equipments. Background: Over the past few years, GPUs have quickly emerged as inexpensive parallel processors ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological disorder that disrupts axonal myelin in the central nervous system. Demyelination produces alterations in saltatory conduction, slowed conduction velocity, and a predisposition to conduction block. An estimated 60-80% of MS patients experience temporary worsening of clinical signs and neurological symptoms with heat exposure. Additionally, M...

The electrical properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have attracted attention for MOF as electronic materials. We report on/off switchable electronic conduction behavior with thermal responsiveness in intercalated MOF (iMOF) with layered structure, 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate dilithium, which was previously reported as a reversible Li-intercalation electrode material. The I-V response ...
