introduction: one of the minimally invasive methods of treatmenting liver malignancies is radiofrequency ablation (rfa) which can be applied to primary or secondary tumors. nevertheless, the disease recurrence is probable after rfa application partially due to the inadequate capability of temperature monitoring of the target tissue and visualizing the thermal damage. the goal of this work was t...

introduction:  laser  interstitial  thermotherapy  (litt)  is  an  internal  ablation  therapy  method  consisting of a percutaneous or intraoperative insertion of laser fibers directly into the liver tumor with  maximum diameter of 5 cm. in this treatment method, there isn’t any general information about the  relationship  between  increasing  the  exposure  power,  coagulation  and  carboniza...

background: lactoperoxidase (lpo) is one of the most heat-stable enzymes in milk and its inactivation has been proposed for monitoring thermal processes. the aim of this study was to provide information on activity and thermal inactivation behavior of lpo in iranian cow and buffalo milk and whey. methods: sixty cow and buffalo milk samples were collected. the lpo activity was measured using spe...

in order to decrease water consumption in agricultural sector, deficit irrigation has been suggested. for preventing a heavy loss in crop yield, management of water stress is essential. common methods for measuring plant water stress such as stomatal conductance are time-consuming and require specialized labor and a large number of measurement. temperature of leaf or canopy surface can be an in...

UNLABELLED Temperature monitoring and thermal management are rare during spinal or epidural anesthesia because clinicians apparently restrict monitoring to patients with an expected risk of hypothermia. This implies that anesthesiologists can predict patient thermal status without monitoring core temperature. We therefore, tested the hypotheses that during neuraxial anesthesia: 1) amount of cor...

Introduction: To prevention the healthy tissues from irreversible damages, monitoring the temperature variation of healthy tissues is critical parameter during thermal therapies. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is considered as a real time imaging modality for monitoring the temperature but researches show that it suffers from low temperature resolution. In this study usi...

The study seeks to show how online remote condition monitoring helps to improve the maintenance system in a power plant from mainly predetermined and corrective approach to predictive maintenance and, the resultant benefits of its adoption. The findings clearly indicate the various aspects of online remote condition monitoring system which thermal power plants can consider to improve on plant s...
