A time-dependent mathematical model for the heat transfer in laser-induced hyperthermia has been developed. The model calculates the temperature distribution in surface-irradiated tissues. Good agreement was found between the predictions of the model and in vitro experimental results obtained for bovine liver irradiated with an expanded beam from a Nd:YAG laser. Surface evaporation of water was in
In the present paper combustion of micron-sized aluminum dust cloud has been studied in a quiescent reaction medium with spatially discrete sources. A new thermal model is generated to estimate the flame front speed in a lean reaction environment in different oxidizer concentrations. Different burning time models for aluminum are utilized in the generated thermal model to compare their applicabili
A joint experimental and theoretical work to explain the electronic and geometrical structure of an in situ prepared film of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) on silicon (100) is presented. FePc molecular films have been characterized by core and valence photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and the results have been interpreted and simulated by density functional theo
Objective: We examined polymorphisms in the HDL receptor, SR-BI, for association with plasma HDL cholesterol levels. Methods: Study subjects, including 847 women and 725 men, were from families originally ascertained for type 2 diabetes from Finland, Sweden and Israel. Four common polymorphisms were examined in linear regression analysis: an exon 1 missense (EX1), exon 8 silent (EX8), intron 5 (IV
Binaural hearing aids communicate with each other through a wireless link for synchronization. A propagation model is needed to estimate the ear-to-ear link loss for such binaural hearing aids. The link loss is a critical parameter in a link budget to decide the sensitivity of the transceiver. In this paper, we have presented a model for the deterministic component of the ear-to-ear link loss. The
This essay addresses the urgent need for transformative action in environmental governance by exploring the role and essential functionality of environmental auditing. While critical scholarship has questioned the overemphasis on reporting in both research and practice, this essay promotes the obligation on critical accountants and auditing researchers to actively debate and develop the concept of
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has the lowest survival rate among all major cancers and is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The stagnant survival statistics and dismal response rates to current therapeutics highlight the need for more efficient preclinical models. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) offer new possibilities as powerful preclinical models able to accou
This article, Part II of an article series on GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo simulation of photon transport through turbid media, focuses on the validation of the online software Multi-Scattering. While Part I detailed the implementation of the computational model, simulated and experimental results are now compared for the distribution of the scattered light intensity. The scattering phantoms prepar
This article analyzes the effects of self-balancing in multiactive bridge converters. Therefore, it proposes a time-domain approach to model the dynamics of multiwinding transformer-based multilevel dc/dc converter, including self-balancing. In previous research, multiwinding transformers have been modeled using average-based power transfer models. These models, while simple, have no direct intuit
BACKGROUND:: Flow cytometry allows the use of several antibodies in addition to light scatter, and most flow cytometers will provide at least seven measurements on each cell passing through the laser beam. A skilled microscopist will classify at least 14 cell classes in bone marrow or blood. Our goal was to use the seven parameters available in our flow cytometer to provide a reliable differential
The emittances of the electron beams at the MAX-laboratory accelerator system have been studied. Apart from the build-up of the diagnostic tools for precise determination of the beam spatial profiles, the objectives have been: a) to verify the accelerator design emittances at low currents and to try to determine the emittances also at high currents; b) to investigate possibilities to manipulate th

AI tools can help you with your studies, provided you use them correctly. If you want to explore the possibilities of generative AI (GenAI), you first need to know what guidelines apply at Lund University. In this text, we explain what you need to bear in mind when using AI tools in your studies at Lund University. We base this on the University’s general AI policy, but please note that your own p

Microstructure evolution in magnetic materials is typically a non-local effect, in the sense that the behaviour at a material point depends on the magnetostatic energy stored within the demagnetisation field in the entire domain. To account for this, we propose a finite element framework in which the internal state variables parameterising the magnetic and crystallographic microstructure are treat
Chemical regulation allows non-in vivo testing (i.e. in silico-derived and in vitro-derived) information to replace experimental values from in vivo studies in hazard and risk assessments. Although non-in vitro testing information on chemical activities or properties is subject to added uncertainty as compared to in vivo testing information, this uncertainty is commonly not (fully) taken into acco
Two main topics are dealt with in this thesis. Firstly, the performance of condensing boilers with finned tube heat exchangers and premix burners is evaluated. Secondly, ways of avoiding condensate formation in the flue system are evaluated. In the first investigation, a transient heat transfer approach is used to predict performance of different boiler configurations connected to different heati
BACKGROUND: To compare the daily costs of 3 prostaglandin analogues (bimatoprost, latanoprost, travoprost), alone, and associated with timolol in 4 European countries (Denmark, Finland, Germany, and Sweden). METHODS: Six glaucoma products were sampled by buying 5 bottles from 1 suburban pharmacy in each of the 4 countries. Drops were weighed by a single operator at 1 site according to standardized
East Asia has experienced a substantial decline in fertility over past few decades. Japan and Korea touched lowest level of fertility, which is 1,26 and 1,08 children per woman respectively in 2005. However, Taiwan continued to decline until 2010 when the fertility rate was 0,90 children per woman. Population growth is also declining steadily in these countries. Population loss has already started
